Fault-tolerant control systems are utilized in safety and critical applications to achieve greater reliability and availability for continued operation despite faults in the system components. These systems can be utilized in the process plants to avoid costly production loss due to abnormal and unscheduled tripping of the machines. In this paper, advanced fault-tolerant control systems of active type are proposed for air–fuel ratio control of internal combustion gas engine in a process plant to achieve greater reliability and availability to avoid a shutdown of the gas engine. Gas engines are extensively used equipment in the process industry and proper air–fuel ratio control in the fuel system of these engines is quite important to achieve greater engine efficiency, fuel energy savings and environmental protection. Active fault-tolerant control system is proposed in this paper in which linear regression–based observer model is …
