Stabilization of a class of uncertain time-delay systems containing saturating actuators

The delay-dependent robust stabilization problem for a class of uncertain linear timedelay systems containing saturating actuator is considered in this paper. The uncertain time-delay systems under consideration are described by state differential equations with time-varying unknown-but-bounded uncertain parameters and delayed state. The delay is assumed to be constant bounded but unknown. New robust stability criteria and a sufficient condition for the existence of memoryless robust stabilizing control law are derived. The results depend on the size of the delay and are given in terms of several linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). A numerical example is presented to illustrate the obtained results.

Robust adaptive fault-tolerant control for time delay uncertain nonlinear systems with time-varying performance bounds

In this paper, a robust adaptive fault tolerant controller guaranteeing with time-varying performance bounds is designed for a class of time delay uncertain nonlinear systems subject to actuator failures and external disturbance. The influence of time delay on the system is mitigated and the system performance can be guaranteed by introducing a positive nonlinear control gain function and the generalised restricted potential function. A new method with more design degrees of freedom is developed to ensure the norm of the system state within a-priori, user-defined time varying performance bounds. Using the online estimation information provided by adaptive mechanism, a robust adaptive fault-tolerant control method guaranteeing time varying performance bounds is proposed. It is shown that all the signals of the resulting closed-loop system are bounded and the system state less than a-priori, user-defined performance bounds. Finally, simulation results are given to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed fault-tolerant control method.

Control of large scale interconnected systems with input and state delays using decentralized adaptive state observers

This paper investigates the problem of decentralized model reference adaptive control (MRAC) for a class of large scale interconnected systems with both state and input delays. The upper bounds of the interconnection terms are considered to be unknown. Time varying delays in the nonlinear interconnection terms are bounded and nonnegative continuous functions and their derivatives are not necessarily less than one. For exact prediction, a decentralized adaptive state observer is designed and a nested predictor based approach is established to predict the future states of the input delay compensation. It is shown that the solutions of uncertain large‐scale time‐delay interconnected systems converge uniformly exponentially to a desired small ball. The effectiveness of the proposed approaches is illustrated by two examples.

Stabilisation of parameterically perturbed input-delay systems with saturating actuator

In this article, the problem of delay-dependent robust stabilisation via dynamic output feedback controllers for time-delay saturating actuator systems with norm-bounded parameter uncertainty is addressed. Instead of applying the Lyapunov function, properties of the comparison theorem and the matrix measure with the model transformation technique are employed to investigate the problems. The sufficient condition for robust stabilisation of input-delay systems with saturating actuators subjected to parametric perturbation is also derived. Both results give an estimate of the maximum time delay, which preserves robust stabilisation. Moreover, an algorithm is proposed to synthesise a dynamic feedback controller for guaranteeing the asymptotic stabilisation of the uncertain time-delay saturating systems. Numerical examples are given to indicate significant improvements over some existing results.     

Tracking control for sampled‐data systems with uncertain time‐varying sampling intervals and delays

In this paper, a solution to the approximate tracking problem of sampled‐data systems with uncertain, time‐varying sampling intervals and delays is presented. Such time‐varying sampling intervals and delays can typically occur in the field of networked control systems. The uncertain, time‐varying sampling and network delays cause inexact feedforward, which induces a perturbation on the tracking error dynamics, for which a model is presented in this paper. Sufficient conditions for the input‐to‐state stability (ISS) of the tracking error dynamics with respect to this perturbation are given. Hereto, two analysis approaches are developed: a discrete‐time approach and an approach in terms of delay impulsive differential equations. These ISS results provide bounds on the steady‐state tracking error as a function of the plant properties, the control design and the network properties. Moreover, it is shown that feedforward preview can significantly improve the tracking performance and an online extremum seeking (nonlinear programming) algorithm is proposed to online estimate the optimal preview time. The results are illustrated on a mechanical motion control example showing the effectiveness of the proposed strategy and providing insight into the differences and commonalities between the two analysis approaches.

Output Feedback Controller Design for systems with Amplitude and Rate Control Constraints

A method for synthesizing dynamic output feedback controllers for continuous time systems presenting actuators constrained in both amplitude and rate is proposed here. The considered controller structure is composed of a saturating integrator block connected to a linear compensator output, delivering a signal to the actuator input inside all its bounds. Considering that the plant is submitted to L ₂ bounded disturbances, linear matrix inequality conditions are proposed in order to ensure both external and internal stability of the closed loop system.     

Time response bounds for linear parametric uncertain systems

Parametric uncertainties in linear time-invariant state-space models introduce perturbations in the eigenvalues and eigenvectors (eigenstructure), which modify the properties of a nominal system. Besides stability by the perturbed eigenvalues, controllability, observability, transient and steady-state values, etc., are some basic properties of a linear system significantly influenced by the perturbed eigenvectors. In this paper, time response analysis of parametric uncertain systems is considered. First the bounds on eigenvectors and parametric uncertainties are established for the perturbed eigenvalues to reside in a set of distinct circular regions. Secondly, analysis of such parametric uncertain systems is discussed by presenting bounds on the perturbed state variables in time coordinate. These bounds are then investigated for norm-bounded and structured uncertainty classifications. Input-output analysis of uncertain systems is illustrated using the initial conditions and input functions.

Model reduction of homogeneous-in-the-state bilinear systems with input constraints

Homogeneous-in-the-state bilinear systems, appended by an additive disturbance, appear both from the discretization of some partial differential equations and from the bilinearization of certain nonlinear systems. They often have large state vectors that can be cumbersome for simulation and control system design. Our aim is to define a method, invariant to time transformations, for finding a reduced-order model with similar disturbance–output characteristics to those of the plant for all admissible input sequences. The inputs considered satisfy simple upper and lower bound constraints, representing saturating actuators. The approximation is based on a model truncation approach and a condition for the existence of such an approximation is given in terms of the feasibility of a set of linear matrix inequalities. A novelty of our work is in the definition of a new Gramian for this class of systems. Explicit error bounds on the scheme are included. The paper concludes with a demonstration of the proposed approach to the model reduction of a solar collector plant.     

Robust stability and performance of systems with structured and bounded uncertainties: an extension of the guaranteed cost control approach

A method is presented for designing a full state feedback linear control law that will ensure the robust stability and performance of a given linear uncertain system. The systems under consideration are described by state equations that depend on uncertain parameters. These uncertain parameters may be time varying. Their values are constrained to lie within known compact bounding sets. The method is based on the guaranteed cost control concept of Chang and Peng (1972). The controller gains result from the solution of a Riccati equation in which the weighting matrices depend on the uncertainty bounds. Sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution arise from the standard LQG control theory.     

Stability of uncertain piecewise affine systems with time delay: delay-dependent Lyapunov approach

This article addresses the problem of robust stability of piecewise affine (PWA) uncertain systems with unknown time-varying delay in the state. It is assumed that the uncertainty is norm bounded and that upper bounds on the state delay and its rate of change are available. A set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) is derived providing sufficient conditions for the stability of the system. These conditions depend on the upper bound of the delay. The main contributions of the article are as follows. First, new delay-dependent LMI conditions are derived for the stability of PWA time-delay systems. Second, the stability conditions are extended to the case of uncertain PWA time delay systems. Numerical examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the approach.

An Lmi Approach To Non‐Fragile Guaranteed Cost Control Of Uncertain Discrete Time‐Delay Systems

This paper studies the non‐fragile Guaranteed Cost Control (GCC) problem via memoryless state‐feedback controllers for a class of uncertain discrete time‐delay linear systems. The systems are assumed to have norm‐bounded, time‐varying parameter uncertainties in the state, delay‐state, input, delay‐input and state‐feedback gain matrices. Existence of the guaranteed cost controllers are related to solutions of some linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The non‐fragile GCC state‐feedback controllers are designed based on a convex optimization problem with LMI constraints to minimize the guaranteed cost of the resultant closed‐loop systems. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the design methods.
