Abstract

This paper designs an active fault-tolerant control system for spacecraft attitude control in the presence of actuator faults, fault estimation errors, and control input constraints. The developed fault-tolerant control system is able to detect the actuator fault without false alarms caused by external disturbances, and also estimate the total fault effects accurately through an indirect fault identification approach, in which an auxiliary variable is utilized to build the relation between fault and system states. Once the fault identification is completed with certain degree of reconstruction accuracy, a fault-tolerant backstepping controller using the nonlinear virtual control input is reconfigured to accommodate the detected actuator faults effectively, in spite of actuator saturation limitations and fault estimation errors. Numerical simulation is carried out to demonstrate that the proposed active fault-tolerant control system is successful in fault detection, identification, and controller reconfiguration for handling actuator faults in attitude control systems.
