Edge Computing and Adaptive Fault-Tolerant Tracking Control Algorithm for Smart Buildings: A Case Study

Abstract

The development and integration of technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) or edge computing devices is contributing to the formation of an increasingly digital, intelligent and connected world. As a result, there is a massive flow of data in different sectors of human activity. One example is intelligent buildings, where thousands of components, devices, systems and suppliers interact. In this context, failures in control and monitoring systems are frequent. To analyze this situation, this paper presents as a case study the problem of fault-tolerant robust adaptive monitoring control with state prediction performance for a class of IoT temperature systems subject to uncertainties of precision states and external disturbances. The authors propose a new control strategy based on consensus game theory and prediction of future precision states to reduce tracking error and improve algorithm efficiency. The authors present the development of a new algorithm that improves the functioning of monitoring and control of parcel networks. This has the purpose of increasing the energy efficiency of the same and ensure the effectiveness of our adaptive temperature control algorithm, compared to existing results. With the simulation presented in this research, it is possible to conclude that a new fault tolerant error tracking algorithm ensures robust monitoring of the reference model. It was shown that the predicted temperature signal is limited by a small range close to the collected temperature data. A case study result is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed fault-tolerant adaptive monitoring control algorithm.
