Sensor Fault Detection and System Reconfiguration for DC-DC Boost Converter

Abstract

This paper presents a effective sensor fault detection and system reconfiguration approach for DC-DC Boost converter. We consider to design a Luenberger observer to solve the problem of the sensor fault detection of the DC-DC Boost converter. We establish mathematical model according to the state of the switch . Luenberger observer is designed to produce residual errors and analyse faults. We detect three types of sensor faults online and compare residuals with thresholds. The system is able to maintain stability by taking system reconfiguration approach. The effectiveness of this approach is demonstrated by simulations.
