Active fault tolerant control based on a neuro fuzzy inference system applied to a two shafts gas turbine

Abstract

The main aim of the present work is development of an active fault tolerant control for two shafts gas turbine fault detection and isolation based on a neuro fuzzy inference system adaptive approach. This approach combines the advantages of the neural networks with the fuzzy inference systems. The reconfiguration mechanism of the proposed active fault tolerant control is performed by detecting the malfunction of the studied gas turbine in an automatic manner. The obtained experimental results are presented to illustrate the great interest of the developed active fault tolerant control approach and to demonstrate its effectiveness in maintaining the stability with acceptable performance under the presence of defects in the presented gas turbine.
