Fault-tolerant decentralized H-infinity control for multi-channel systems using homotopy method

This paper considers a fault-tolerant decentralized H-infinity control problem for multi-channel linear time-invariant systems. The purpose is to design a decentralized H-infinity output feedback controller to stabilize the given system and achieve a certain H-infinity performance requirement both in the normal situation and in the situation where any one of the local controllers fails. The designed problem is reduced to a feasibility problem of a set of bilinear matrix inequalities (BMIs). An algorithm is proposed to solve the BMIs. First, the normal situation is considered where all the local controllers are functioning. The local controllers are obtained from a standard centralized H-infinity controller by using a homotopy method imposing a structural constraint progressively. Secondly, the above case is extended to the one where any one of the local controllers fails. We again use a homotopy method where the coefficient matrices of the failed controller are decreased rogressively to zero. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated by an example.

The decentralized H-infinity control problem for discrete-time singular large-scale systems is considered. Based on the bounded real lemma of discrete-time singular systems, a sufficient condition for the existence of decentralized H-infinity controller for discrete-time singular large-scale systems is presented in terms of the solvability to a certain system of linear matrix inequalities by linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach, and the feasible solutions to the system of LMIs provide a parameterized representation of a set of decentralized H-infinity controller.

Overlapping control design for multi-channel systems

This paper deals with the decentralized overlapping control of interconnected systems. The notion of a quotient overlapping fixed mode (QOFM) is first introduced and it is shown that a mode of an interconnected linear time-invariant system can be shifted by means of a general decentralized overlapping controller if and only if it is not a QOFM. It is then asserted that any interconnected system with no unstable QOFM can be stabilized by using an appropriate finite-dimensional linear time-varying controller. It is also shown how the existing results aiming at designing a decentralized controller of a certain type such as generalized sampled-data hold function, finite-dimensional linear time-varying, and sampled-data can be utilized to design a decentralized overlapping controller of a desired form, in order to achieve any design specification. The efficacy of the results is elucidated through two numerical examples.     

H-infinity control for switched and impulsive singular systems

A new model of dynamical systems is proposed which consists of singular systems with impulsive effects, i.e., switched and impulsive singular systems （SISS）. By using the switched Lyapunov functions method, a sufficient condition for the solvability of the H-infinity control problem for SISSs is given which generalizes the H-infinity control theory for singular systems to switched singular systems with impulsive effects. Then the sufficient condition of solvablity of the H-infinity control problem is presented in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, the effectiveness of the developed aooroach for switched and imoulsive singular svstems is illustrated by a numerical example.     

Linear periodic controller design for decentralized control systems

In the decentralized control of linear time-invariant (LTI) systems, a decentralized fixed mode (DFM) is a system mode which is immoveable using an LTI controller, while a quotient DFM (QDFM) is one which is immoveable using any form of nonlinear time-varying compensation. If a system has no unstable DFMs, there are well-known procedures for designing an LTI stabilizing controller; for systems which have unstable DFMs but no unstable QDFMs, we provide a simple design algorithm which yields a linear periodic sampled-data stabilizing controller.

LMI solutions for H-two and H-infinity decentralized controllers applied to an aerothermic process

In this paper, we present a linear matrix inequality (LMI)-based solution to implement H-two and Hinfinity decentralized robust control strategies. Appropriate parametrization of optimal H-two and H-infinity controllers is used. The general formulation of the decentralized control design leads to the optimal determination of both the state feedback gains and the observer gains of the decentralized controllers. This formulation is two folds: first, a centralized controller is obtained, and then, a simplified decentralized solution is derived by optimizing only the observer gains. The mathematical determination of these gains is formulated as an LMI optimization problem that can be easily solved using LMI solvers. As an experimental evaluation of these controllers, a real time application to an aerothermic process is carried out. A continuous-time model of the process obtained with a suitable direct continuous-time identification approach is elaborated. Results illustrating the real performance obtained from the H-two and H-infinity decentralized controllers are discussed and compared with the centralized ones.
