1) The document describes a proposed fault tolerant controller system (FTCS) strategy for temperature control of an air conditioning system. The FTCS is designed to be robust against noise, sensor failures, disturbances, and parameter variations while maintaining optimal performance.
2) A mathematical model is developed consisting of models for the heat exchanger and conditioning space. A neural network model is also developed to model the system dynamics.
3) The neural network is trained using a backpropagation algorithm to minimize the mean squared error between the network outputs and actual system outputs over time. Training results show the network can accurately model the system.
