Event-triggered controller design of nonlinear discrete-time networked control systems in T-S fuzzy model

This article is concerned with event-triggered fuzzy control design for a class of discrete-time nonlinear networked control systems (NCSs) with time-varying communication delays. Firstly, a more general mixed event-triggering scheme (ETS) is proposed. Secondly, considering the effects of the ETS and communication delays, based on the T-S fuzzy model scheme and time delay system approach, the original nonlinear NCSs is reformulated as a new event-triggered networked T-S fuzzy systems with interval time-varying delays. Sufficient conditions for uniform ultimately bound (UUB) stability are established in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). In particular, the quantitative relation between the boundness of the stability region and the triggering parameters are studied in detail. Thirdly, a relative ETS is also provided, which can be seen as a special case of the above proposed mixed ETS. As a difference from the preceding results, sufficient conditions on the existence of desired fuzzy controller are derived to ensure the asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system with reduced communication frequency between sensors and controllers. Moreover, a co-design algorithm for simultaneously determining the gain matrices of the fuzzy controller and the triggering parameters is developed. Finally, two illustrative examples are presented to demonstrate the advantage of the proposed ETS and the effectiveness of the controller design method.     

Adaptive event‐triggered control for nonlinear discrete‐time systems

This paper focuses on the analysis and the design of event‐triggering scheme for discrete‐time systems. Both static event‐triggering scheme (SETS) and adaptive event‐triggering scheme (AETS) are presented for discrete‐time nonlinear and linear systems. What makes AETS different from SETS is that an auxiliary dynamic variable satisfying a certain difference equation is incorporated into the event‐triggering condition. The sufficient conditions of asymptotic stability of the closed‐loop event‐triggered control systems under both two triggering schemes are given. Especially, for the linear systems case, the minimum time between two consecutive control updates is discussed. Also, the quantitative relation among the system parameters, the preselected triggering parameters in AETS, and a quadratic performance index are established. Finally, the effectiveness and respective advantage of the proposed event‐triggering schemes are illustrated on a practical example. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Structure and stability analysis of a Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy PI controller with application to tissue hyperthermia therapy

 In this paper, we first reveal the analytical structure of a simple Takagi–Sugeno (TS) fuzzy PI controller relative to the linear PI controller. The fuzzy controller consists of two linear input fuzzy sets, four TS fuzzy rules with linear consequent, Zadeh fuzzy logic AND and the centroid defuzzifier. We prove that the fuzzy controller is actually a nonlinear PI controller with the gains changing with process output. Utilizing the well-known small Gain Theorem in control theory, we then derive sufficient conditions for global stability of the fuzzy control systems involving the TS fuzzy PI controller. Finally, as an application demonstration, we apply the fuzzy PI controller to control issue temperature, in computer simulation, during hyperthermia therapy. The relationship between heat energy and tissue temperature is represented by a linear time-varying model with a time delay. The sufficient conditions for global stability are used to design a stable fuzzy control system. Our simulation results show that the fuzzy PI control system achieves satisfactory temperature control performance. The control system is robust and stable even when the model parameters are changed suddenly and significantly.     

Distributed adaptive control and stability verification for linear multiagent systems with heterogeneous actuator dynamics and system uncertainties

The contribution of this paper is a control synthesis and stability verification framework for linear time-invariant multiagent systems with heterogeneous actuator dynamics and system uncertainties. In particular, we first propose a distributed adaptive control architecture in a leader-follower setting for this class of high-order multiagent systems. The proposed architecture uses a hedging method, which alters the ideal reference model dynamics of each agent in order to ensure correct adaptation in the presence of heterogeneous actuator dynamics of these agents. We then use Lyapunov stability theory and linear matrix inequalities to analyse the proposed architecture. This analysis reveals a stability condition, where evaluation of this condition with respect to a given graph topology allows stability verification of the controlled multiagent system. From a practical point of view, this condition also shows a fundamental tradeoff between heterogeneous agent actuation capabilities and unknown parameters in agent dynamics. Several illustrative numerical examples are also provided to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed architecture.     

Variable stability simulation techniques for nonlinear rate-dependent systems

This paper deals with the development of variable stability simulation techniques for nonlinear rate-dependent systems. In particular, the model-following and response-feedback modes of dynamic simulation are considered for these systems. The paper begins with a development of variable stability simulation theory for nonlinear rate-dependent systems. Simple examples are given to demonstrate the application of the theory. A model-following flight control system, in which the inertial coupling nonlinearities of the plant and model are taken into account, is then developed. Time histories are included to demonstrate the quality of model following that can be achieved. Finally, linear systems are considered as a special case of the general theory.     

Characteristic model based adaptive controller design and analysis for a class of SISO systems一类SISO系统基于特征模型的极点配置自适应控制设计与分析

The design of an adaptive controller and stability analysis of the corresponding closed loop system are discussed for a class of SISO systems based on the characteristic model method. The obtained characteristic model is a second-order slow time-varying linear system with a compress mapping function for the system modeling error. The pole placement method is used to design the controller, and sufficient conditions for the stability of the closed loop system are obtained based on the robust control theory of slow time-varying systems with perturbations. The effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated by two numerical examples.

Control of Selective Catalytic Reduction Systems Using Feedback Linearisation

This paper discusses the identification and control of a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system. SCR after‐treatment systems form an important technology for reducing the nitrogen oxides, NO_x, produced by diesel engines. To be able to control the system, i.e. reducing the output NO_x, good models of the after‐treatment system are essential. In this paper a nonlinear black‐box model is identified using a recursive prediction error method. The nonlinear model is applied for design of a controller using feedback linearization techniques including an adaptive strategy. A linear quadratic Gaussian controller is used for the control of the linearized system. A total of 17 parameters were estimated for the nonlinear model. The results indicate that output NO_x control using feedback linearization based on a second order black‐box nonlinear model is feasible, provided that identification or adaptivity is used for model tuning. The latter requirement is a result of a study of the robustness. In summary, the paper indicates that significant improvements as compared to linear control can be obtained with the proposed strategy.     

Development and experimental studies of a control-oriented SCR model for a two-catalyst urea-SCR system

This paper presents the development and experimental studies of a complete selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system control-oriented model of a two-catalyst SCR system with onboard NO_x and ammonia sensors. SCR catalysts have been popularly regarded as effective means for NO_x emission control in medium- and heavy-duty vehicles in recent years. However, control of urea dosing upstream of the SCR systems still remains a challenge in the field mainly due to the complicated SCR dynamics and limited/inaccurate feedback information. A control-oriented SCR model is thus indispensable for SCR control systems. A variety of experimental tests were examined using a Diesel engine-aftertreatment system consisting of a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC)/diesel particulate filter (DPF), two-SCR catalysts (Fe-Zeolite type) in series, three NO_x sensors, and two NH₃ sensors. By utilizing multiple emission sensors and the two-catalyst SCR setup, the sensor properties and SCR system dynamics were studied. Grounded in the experimental investigations and the physical insights, a control-oriented model for a complete SCR system was developed and validated with experimental data.     

Delayed standard neural network models for control systems.

In order to conveniently analyze the stability of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and successfully synthesize the controllers for nonlinear systems, similar to the nominal model in linear robust control theory, the novel neural network model, named delayed standard neural network model (DSNNM) is presented, which is the interconnection of a linear dynamic system and a bounded static delayed (or nondelayed) nonlinear operator. By combining a number of different Lyapunov functionals with S-procedure, some useful criteria of global asymptotic stability and global exponential stability for the continuous-time DSNNMs (CDSNNMs) and discrete-time DSNNMs (DDSNNMs) are derived, whose conditions are formulated as linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Based on the stability analysis, some state-feedback control laws for the DSNNM with input and output are designed to stabilize the closed-loop systems. Most RNNs and neurocontrol nonlinear systems with (or without) time delays can be transformed into the DSNNMs to be stability-analyzed or stabilization-synthesized in a unified way. In this paper, the DSNNMs are applied to analyzing the stability of the continuous-time and discrete-time RNNs with or without time delays, and synthesizing the state-feedback controllers for the chaotic neural-network-system and discrete-time nonlinear system. It turns out that the DSNNM makes the stability conditions of the RNNs easily verified, and provides a new idea for the synthesis of the controllers for the nonlinear systems.     

On hybrid systems and closed-loop MPC systems

The following five classes of hybrid systems were recently proven to be equivalent: linear complementarity, extended linear complementarity, mixed logical dynamical systems, piecewise affine systems and max-min-plus-scaling systems. Some of the equivalences were obtained under additional assumptions, such as boundedness of certain system variables. In this paper, for linear or hybrid plants in closed-loop with a model predictive control (MPC) controller based on a linear model fulfilling linear constraints on input and state variables and utilizing a quadratic cost criterion, we provide a simple and direct proof that the closed-loop system is a subclass of any of the former five classes of hybrid systems. This result is of extreme importance, as it opens up the use of tools developed for the mentioned hybrid model classes, such as (robust) stability and safety analysis tools, to study closed-loop properties of MPC     

Fault estimation and active fault-tolerant control for a class of nonlinear systems with actuator and sensor faults based on unknown input iterative learning

In this paper, fault estimation and active fault-tolerant control are studied for a class of nonlinear systems with simultaneous actuator and sensor faults, as well as unknown external disturbances. Firstly, the state equation of a class of nonlinear systems is transformed into an augmented system state equation by extending the sensor fault as an auxiliary state. Then, a novel fault estimation observer based on iterative learning with unknown inputs is designed to estimate the system state, as well as actuator and sensor faults. Subsequently, by using the fault estimation information, a dynamic output feedback active fault-tolerant control scheme is proposed to compensate for the influence of faults on the system. Lyapunov stability theory is used to prove the stability of the closed-loop system and the convergence of the fault estimation observer. The gain matrices of the fault estimation observer and fault-tolerant controller are obtained by solving linear matrix inequalities. Furthermore, the paper avoids the use of the $$ norm in the convergence proof of the conventional iterative learning algorithm, which reduces the amount of calculation in the derivation process. Finally, the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed method are verified through simulation of the DC motor angular velocity system.
