FDD of the Attitude Control System of Satellite with Actuator Fault and Time Delay via Two-Stage Kalman Filter

摘要: The recent decades have witnessed active studies in fault detection and isolation (FDD) of the small satellites subject to actuator failures and attitude coordination control of spacecraft formation flying (SFF) which plays a significant role in missions such as synthetic-aperture radar imaging. However, because of the time delay in communication links, the performance of coordination control is not always satisfactory. In this paper we propose a method to estimate the actuator fault as well as the input time delay at the same time. First of all, the model of the altitude control system of the small satellite with actuator fault and the model of the altitude control system with actuator fault and the input time delay are presented respectively. Based on the Two-Stage Kalman Filter algorithm, the fault and input time delay of the altitude control system of the small satellite can be estimated. At last, the simulation of the algorithm in a satellite attitude control system with actuator fault and input time delay will illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
