Abstract

This paper presents the formulation of fault detection and accommodation schemes for a network of autonomous agents running internal model-based dynamic average consensus algorithms. We focus on two types of consensus algorithms, one that is internally stable but non-robust to initial conditions and one that is robust to initial conditions but not internally stable. For each consensus algorithm, a fault detection filter based on the unknown input observer scheme is developed for precisely estimating the communication faults that occur on the network edges. We then propose a fault remediation scheme so that the agents could reach average consensus even in the presence of communication faults.
