to use it in a broader context than the mere SVO.
6 CONCLUSIONS
In this paper, the Set-Valued Observer has been
studied. An extension of the Set-Valued Observer
has been proposed in order to reconstruct the state
when sensors are missing. The idea is to bring
together two methods developed in different
contexts in order to make them work in synergy.
With uncertain systems, the implementation of
observer is difficult because of the wrapping effect.
This is where the Set-Valued Observer is interesting;
it can avoid this phenomenon. But the SVO is not
without drawbacks; the deduction principle of the
state implies that all measurements are available
which is not always true.
From this observation, the use of a Luenberger-
like reconstruction of the state within the SVO
seems to be a good solution. The computation of the
predicted state with model uncertainties makes it
possible to determine the set of all possible
trajectories. Then, the computation of the estimated
state with the measurement uncertainty allows the
algorithm to determine trajectories consistent with
the measurement. The intersection of the two sets
corrects the state set throughout the simulation.
Through the numerical example of the mass-
spring-damper, results have demonstrated that the
state in presence of model uncertainties can easily be
reconstructed. Moreover, the fault detection
algorithm based on the proposed observer has
demonstrated its efficacy; the observer yields the
expected results.
The Set-Valued Luenberger Observer gives
encouraging results and brings new perspectives to
the field of uncertain systems. A real-time
implementation of the observer is planned. The
Luenberger-like reconstruction of the state will
permit future work to extend fault detection to fault
isolation by implementing this observer in the form
of benches.
