Robust Fuzzy Sliding Mode Observer for Faults Detection in Solar Power Plant Application

Abstract
This article deals with the designing of fuzzy sliding mode observer in order to fault diagnosis in solar power plant. Purpose technique enable to the modulated using Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy models. Principal of proposed observer is to uses for estimate the state vector of the system; a Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) is performed to ensure stability conditions. Foremother, it is deriving a diagnosis signal-residual. The residual is generated by the comparison of measured and estimated output. Proposed approach performance is tested in solar power plant model through numerical results.
