FAULT TOLERANT CONTROL OF ROTOR SWING STABILIZER SYSTEM USING FMEA METHOD

Year 2016, Issue: 07, 33 - 48, 01.12.2016

Abstract

In this article, rotor swing stabilizer system has been analyzed according to fault tolerant control FTC methodology. Fault tolerant control is presented in a general framework and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis FMEA is applied as a fault analysis method. The focus was on the category of requirements, process and components to find risky elements and provide solutions. The general methodology covered the failure mode and effect analysis and implementation of fault tolerant control systems on an overall level but still have a potential for improving immunity to component faults

Keywords

Magnus effect, Failure mode and effect analysis, Fault tolerant control, Stabilizer system
