Networked predictive control for Hammerstein systems

This paper is concerned with the problems of design and stability analysis of networked predictive control for Hammerstein systems. The Hammerstein nonlinearity is removed (or partially removed) by inverting it. By predicting the future control sequence, the random network‐induced delay and data dropout are compensated actively. The stability of the closed‐loop system is analyzed by applying the switched Lyapunov function approach. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the validity of the proposed method.

Networked iterative learning control approach for nonlinear systems with random communication delay

This paper constructs a proportional-type networked iterative learning control (NILC) scheme for a class of discrete-time nonlinear systems with the stochastic data communication delay within one operation duration and being subject to Bernoulli-type distribution. In the scheme, the communication delayed data is replaced by successfully captured one at the concurrent sampling moment of the latest iteration. The tracking performance of the addressed NILC algorithm is analysed by statistic technique in virtue of mathematical expectation. The analysis shows that, under certain conditions, the expectation of the tracking error measured in the form of 1-norm is asymptotically convergent to zero. Numerical experiments are carried out to illustrate the validity and effectiveness.     

Admissible consensus for networked singular multi-agent systems with communication delays

This study concerns the admissible consensus problem for networked singular multi-agent systems with communication delays and agents described by general singular systems. Only the information of outputs is available through the network. An observer-based networked predictive control scheme (NPCS) is employed to compensate for the communication delays actively. Based on NPCS and dynamic compensator (dynamic output feedback), a novel protocol is proposed. Based on graph, algebra and singular system theory, the necessary and sufficient conditions are given to guarantee existence of the proposed protocol. The conditions depend on the topologies of singular multi-agent systems and the structure properties of each agent dynamics. Moreover, a consensus algorithm is provided to design the predictive protocol. A numerical example demonstrates the effectiveness of compensation for networked delays.

Sliding mode control for a class of nonlinear discrete-time networked systems with multiple stochastic communication delays

In this article, a sliding mode control problem is studied for a class of uncertain nonlinear networked systems with multiple communication delays. A sequence of stochastic variables obeying Bernoulli distribution is applied in the system model to describe the randomly occurring communication delays. The discrete-time system considered is also subject to parameter uncertainties and state-dependent stochastic disturbances. A novel discrete switching function is proposed to facilitate the sliding mode controller design. The sufficient conditions are derived by means of the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach. It is shown that the system dynamics in the specified sliding surface is robustly exponentially stable in the mean square if two LMIs with an equality constraint are feasible. A discrete-time SMC controller is designed that is capable of guaranteeing the discrete-time sliding-mode reaching condition of the specified sliding surface. Finally, a simulation example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Distributed model predictive control with hierarchical architecture for communication: application in automated irrigation channels

This paper is concerned with a distributed model predictive control (DMPC) method that is based on a distributed optimisation method with two-level architecture for communication. Feasibility (constraints satisfaction by the approximated solution), convergence and optimality of this distributed optimisation method are mathematically proved. For an automated irrigation channel, the satisfactory performance of the proposed DMPC method in attenuation of the undesired upstream transient error propagation and amplification phenomenon is illustrated and compared with the performance of another DMPC method that exploits a single-level architecture for communication. It is illustrated that the DMPC that exploits a two-level architecture for communication has a better performance by better managing communication overhead.     

Consensus of networked multi-agent systems with communication delays based on the networked predictive control scheme

The consensus problem of discrete-time networked multi-agent systems (NMASs) with a communication delay is investigated in this article, where the dynamics of agents described by discrete-time linear time-invariant systems can be either uniform or non-uniform. For the NMASs with a directed topology and constant delay, a novel protocol based on the networked predictive control scheme is proposed to compensate for communication delay actively. Using algebraic graph theories and matrix theories, necessary and/or sufficient conditions of achieving consensus are obtained, which indicates that, under the proposed protocol, the consensus is independent of the network delay and only dominated by agents' dynamics and communication topology. Meanwhile, the protocol design and consensus analysis are also presented in the case of no network delay. Simulation results are further presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of theoretical results.     

Distributed model predictive control of constrained nonlinear systems with communication delays

Distributed model predictive control (MPC), having been proven to be efficient for large-scale control systems, is essentially enabled by communication network connections among involved subsystems (agents). This paper studies the distributed MPC problem for a class of continuous-time decoupled nonlinear systems subject to communication delays. By using a robustness constraint and designing a waiting mechanism, a delay-involved distributed MPC scheme is proposed. Furthermore, the iterative feasibility and stability properties are analyzed. It is shown that, if the communication delays are bounded by an upper bound, and the cooperation weights and the sampling period are designed appropriately, the overall system state converges to the equilibrium point. The theoretical results are verified by a simulation study.
