Implementation of real-time distributed control for discrete event robotic systems using Petri nets

This article presents a systematic method of modeling and implementing real-time control for discrete-event robotic systems using Petri nets. Because, in complex robotic systems such as flexible manufacturing systems, the controllers are distributed according to their physical structure, it is desirable to realize real-time distributed control. In this article, the task specification of robotic processes is represented as a system control-level net. Then, based on the hierarchical approach, it is transformed into detailed subnets, which are decomposed and distributed into the local machine controllers. The implementation of real-time distributed control through communication between the system controller and the machine controllers on a microcomputer network is described for a sample robotic system. The proposed implementation method is sufficiently general, and can be used as an effective prototyping tool for consistent modeling, simulation, and real-time control of large and complex robotic systems.     

Adaptive fault‐tolerant control for a nonlinear flexible aircraft wing system

Fault‐tolerant control problems have been extensively studied in all kinds of control systems. However, there is little work on fault‐tolerant control for distributed parameter systems. In this paper, a novel adaptive fault‐tolerant boundary control scheme is proposed for a nonlinear flexible aircraft wing system against actuator faults. The whole system is regarded as a distributed parameter system, and the dynamic model of the flexible wing system is described by a set of partial differential equations (PDEs) and ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The proposed controller is designed by using the Lyapunov's direct method and adaptive control strategies. Based on the online estimation of actuator faults, the adaptive controller parameters can update automatically to compensate the actuator faults of the system. Besides, a fault‐tolerant controller is also developed for this system in the presence of external disturbances. Differing from existing works about adaptive fault‐tolerant control, the adaptive controller presented in this paper is designed for a distributed parameter system. Finally, numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.     

Distributed Secondary Control and Optimal Power Sharing in Microgrids

We address the control problem of microgrids and present a fully distributed control system which consists of primary controller, secondary controller, and optimal active power sharing controller. Different from the existing control structure in microgrids, all these controllers are implemented as local controllers at each distributed generator. Thus, the requirement for a central controller is obviated. The performance analysis of the proposed control systems is provided, and the finite-time convergence properties for distributed secondary frequency and voltage controllers are achieved. Moreover, the distributed control system possesses the optimal active power sharing property. In the end, a microgrid test system is investigated to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategies.      

A stability guaranteed active fault‐tolerant control system against actuator failures

In this paper, a new strategy for fault‐tolerant control system design has been proposed using multiple controllers. The design of such controllers is shown to be unique in the sense that the resulting control system neither suffers from the problem of conservativeness of conventional passive fault‐tolerant control nor from the risk of instability associated with active fault‐tolerant control in case that an incorrect fault detection and isolation decision is made. In other words, the stability of the closed‐loop system is always ensured regardless of the decision made by the fault detection and isolation scheme. A correct decision will further lead to optimal performance of the closed‐loop system. This paper deals with the conflicting requirements among stability, redundancy, and graceful degradation in performance for fault‐tolerant control systems by using robust control techniques. A detailed design procedure has been presented with consideration of parameter uncertainties. Both total and partial actuator failures have been considered. This new control strategy has been demonstrated by controlling a McDonnell F‐4C airplane in the lateral‐direction through simulation. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Model‐free adaptive formation control for unknown multiinput‐multioutput nonlinear heterogeneous discrete‐time multiagent systems with bounded disturbance

Based on the model‐free adaptive control, the distributed formation control problem is investigated for a class of unknown heterogeneous nonlinear discrete‐time multiagent systems with bounded disturbance. Two equivalent data models to the unknown multiagent systems are established through the dynamic linearization technique considering the circumstances with measurable and unmeasurable disturbances. Based on the obtained data models, two distributed controllers are designed with only using the input/output and disturbance data of the neighbor agents system. The tracking error of the closed‐loop system driven by the proposed controllers is shown to be bounded by the contraction mapping principle and inductive methods. An example illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed two distributed controllers.     

Distributed tracking control of uncertain mechanical systems with velocity constraints

This paper considers the leader‐following control problem of multiple mechanical systems with uncertainty and velocity constraints. So as to deal with the velocity constraints, a reduction procedure is applied to transform the model of each system to a cascaded system. With the aid of the cascade structure of each system and the properties of linear time‐varying systems, distributed robust feedback controllers are proposed such that the state of each follower system asymptotically converges to the state of a leader system with the aid of neighbors' information. So as to reduce the cost of the communication between systems, an event‐triggered leader‐following control problem is also considered, and event‐triggered distributed controllers are proposed. As an application of the proposed results, formation control of wheeled mobile robots is considered, and distributed controllers are obtained with the aid of the results in Theorems 1 and 2. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed results. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Collaborative Fault Tolerant Control for Non‐Gaussian Stochastic Distribution Systems Based on Adaptive Control Strategy

This paper presents a new fault tolerant controller design method for a class of interconnected non‐Gaussian stochastic distribution system with boundary conditions. In order to obtain the fault estimation value, an observer based fault detection and fault diagnosis algorithms are presented at first, then a collaborative fault tolerant controller is designed based on the adaptive control strategy. Different from most of the existing fault tolerant controllers, when fault occurs the controller need to be reconstructed is for the healthy subsystem in this paper. That is to say, the fault is compensated not by the faulty subsystem itself but by the healthy one. The proposed method is used to a simulation example for demonstration, and the effectiveness is verified.     

Fault tolerant control of a simulated hydroelectric system

This paper analyses the application of two fault tolerant control schemes to a hydroelectric model developed in the Matlab and Simulink environments. The proposed fault tolerant controllers are exploited for regulating the speed of the Francis turbine included in the hydraulic system. The nonlinear behaviour of the hydraulic turbine and the inelastic water hammer effects are taken into account in order to develop a high-fidelity simulator of this dynamic plant. The first fault tolerant control solution relies on an adaptive control design, which exploits the recursive identification of a linear parametric time-varying model of the monitored system. The second scheme proposed uses the identification of a fuzzy model that is exploited for the reconstruction of the fault affecting the system under diagnosis. In this way, the fault estimation and its accommodation is possible. Note that these strategies, which are both based on identification approaches, are suggested for enhancing the application of the suggested fault tolerant control methodologies. These characteristics of the study represent key issues when on-line implementations are considered for a viable application of the proposed fault tolerant control schemes. The faults considered in this paper affect the electric servomotor used as a governor, the hydraulic turbine speed sensor, and the hydraulic turbine system, and are imposed both separately and simultaneously. Moreover, the complete drop of the rotational speed sensor is also analysed. Monte-Carlo simulations are also used for analysing the most important issues of the proposed schemes in the presence of parameter variations. Moreover, the performances achieved by means of the proposed solutions are compared to those of a standard PID controller already developed for the considered model. Finally, these strategies serve to highlight the potential application of the proposed control strategies to real hydraulic systems.     

A model structure-driven hierarchical decentralized stabilizing control structure for process networks

Based on the structure of process models a hierarchically structured state-space model has been proposed for process networks with controlled mass convection and constant physico-chemical properties. Using the theory of cascade-connected nonlinear systems and the properties of Metzler and Hurwitz matrices it is shown that process systems with controlled mass convection and without sources or with stabilizing linear source terms are globally asymptotically stable. The hierarchically structured model gives rise to a distributed controller structure that is in agreement with the traditional hierarchical process control system structure where local controllers are used for mass inventory control and coordinating controllers are used for optimizing the system dynamics. The proposed distributed controller is illustrated on a simple non-isotherm jacketed chemical reactor.
