Distributed extended state observer design and output feedback anti-disturbance control for nonlinear interconnected systems: A dynamic memory event-triggered mechanism

This paper investigates a distributed extended state observer design and output feedback anti-disturbance control for nonlinear interconnected systems (ISs) with multiple disturbances. First, a distributed extended state observer with a sparse observer communication network is established to estimate the system states and external disturbances. Then, an output feedback controller with a disturbance compensation (DC) item is designed, where a novel dynamic memory event-triggered mechanism (DMETM) is proposed to save communication resources.

Finally, the simulation examples demonstrate the effectiveness of the DMETM in reducing the number of data transmissions compared to the dynamic event-triggered mechanism (ETM).

Decentralized stabilization of Markovian jump interconnected systems with unknown interconnections and measurement errors

This paper investigates the decentralized output feedback control problem for Markovian jump interconnected systems with unknown interconnections and measurement errors. Different from some existing results, the global operation modes of all subsystems are not required to be completely accessible for the decentralized control system. A decentralized dynamic output feedback controller is constructed using neighboring mode information and local outputs, where the measurement errors between actual and measured outputs are considered. Subsequently, a new design method is developed such that the resultant closed‐loop system is stochastically stable and satisfying an L_∞‐norm constraint. Sufficient conditions are formulated by linear matrix inequalities, and the controller gains are characterized in terms of the solution of a convex optimization problem. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed theoretical results.

GUARANTEED COST CONTROL FOR A CLASS OF UNCERTAIN SWITCHED DELAY SYSTEMS: AN AVERAGE DWELL-TIME METHOD

This paper deals with the problem of guaranteed cost robust control for a class of uncertain switched delay systems composed of controllable and uncontrollable subsystems. By making use of the scheme of average dwell time and under the condition that the activation time ratio between controllable subsystems and uncontrollable ones is not less than a specified constant, the state feedback controllers are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) such that the resulting closed-loop system is exponentially stable for all admissible uncertainties and has a weighted guaranteed cost upper bound. As an example, the controller design for an AV-8A Harrier VTOL aircraft illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

Decentralized control: Status and outlook

This paper reviews state of the art in the area of decentralized networked control systems with an emphasis on event-triggered approach. The models or agents with the dynamics of linear continuous-time time-invariant state-space systems are considered. They serve for the framework for network phenomena within two basic structures. The I/O-oriented systems as well as the interaction-oriented systems with disjoint subsystems are distinguished. The focus is laid on the presentation of recent decentralized control design and co-design methods which offer effective tools to overcome specific difficulties caused mainly by network imperfections. Such side-effects include communication constraints, variable sampling, time-varying transmission delays, packet dropouts, and quantizations. Decentralized time-triggered methods are briefly discussed. The review is deals mainly with decentralized event-triggered methods. Particularly, the stabilizing controller–observer event-based controller design as well as the decentralized state controller co-design are presented within the I/O-oriented structures of large scale complex systems. The sampling instants depend in this case only on a local information offered by the local feedback loops. Minimum sampling time conditions are discussed. Special attention is focused on interaction-oriented system architecture. Model-based approach combined with event-based state feedback controller design is presented, where the event thresholds are fully decentralized. Finally, several selected open decentralized control problems are briefly offered as recent research challenges.     

Aperiodic event-triggered robust model predictive control for linear parameter-varying system with round-robin protocol

This article investigates the robust model predictive control (MPC) problem for networked control systems represented by the linear parameter-varying model, in which an event-triggered strategy and the round-robin (RR) protocol scheduling locate at the sensor-to-controller and controller-to-actuator channels, respectively. By considering the problems of system state immeasurable and communication burden in engineering application, an output feedback controller that combines the aperiodic event-triggered strategy is applied, where the triggering condition is designed in a time-varying fashion. In addition, in order to avoid unexpected data collisions, the RR protocol is utilized to schedule a shared network and guarantee the efficiency of the control system. The controller parameters are obtained by solving an online convex robust MPC optimization problem, and the feasibility of the optimization problem and closed-loop stability are also addressed. The effectiveness of the proposed theoretical results is illustrated by a numerical simulation example.     

Observer-based event-triggered distributed model predictive control for a class of nonlinear interconnected systems

In this paper, an observer-based event-triggered distributed model predictive control method is proposed for a class of nonlinear interconnected systems with bounded disturbances, considering unmeasurable states. First of all, the state observer is constructed. It is proved that the observation error is bounded. Second, distributed model predictive controller is designed by using observed value. Meanwhile, the event-triggered mechanism is set by using the error between the actual output and the predicted output. The setting of event-triggered mechanism not only ensures the error between the actual output and the predicted output within a certain range, but also reduces the calculation amounts of solving the optimization problem. The states of each subsystem enter the terminal invariant set by distributed model predictive control, and then are stabilized in the invariant set under the action of output feedback control law. In addition, sufficient conditions are given to ensure the feasibility of the algorithm and the stability of the closed-loop system. Finally, the numerical example is given, and the simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Event-triggered finite-time dynamic output feedback control for switched affine systems with asynchronous switching

This paper investigates the event-triggered finite-time dynamic output feedback control for switched affine systems (SASs) with asynchronous switching. A key point of the study is to set up a dynamic output feedback switched affine controller together with an event-triggered mechanism (ETM). By using an average dwell time (ADT) approach and resorting to a controller-mode-dependent Lyapunov functional, the finite-time stability (FTS) performance is achieve for the closed-loop SASs. The system dynamics under the proposed ETM are fully discussed during the synchronous and asynchronous switching intervals. The existence of the lower bound on interevent intervals is discussed emphatically, which excludes the occurrence of Zeno behavior. Finally, an application example of the DC-DC converter is given to show effectiveness of the acquired control algorithm.     

Function Observer Based Event-triggered Control for Linear Systems with Guaranteed L∞-Gain

This paper is devoted to event-triggered control design for linear systems based on function observer. More specifically, the main purpose is to design event-triggered mechanisms that trigger transmissions when the difference between the current value of the system and its previously transmitted value which includes the plant output or the function observer output exceeds an additional threshold. For such an eventtriggered mechanism, we derive conditions in terms of matrix inequality to guarantee the stability as well as longer inter-event time. We propose two approaches to investigate the closed-loop model, namely, reformulating the event-triggered control system as a hybrid system and interpreting the event-induced error as exogenous disturbance. Furthermore, the minimum inter-event time is guaranteed to be strictly positive. An example is presented to illustrate the feasibility and efficiency of the theoretic results.      

Event-triggered filtering and fault estimation for nonlinear systems with stochastic sensor saturations

This paper is concerned with the filtering problem for a class of nonlinear systems with stochastic sensor saturations and event-triggered measurement transmissions. An event-triggered transmission scheme is proposed with hope to ease the traffic burden and improve the energy efficiency. The measurements are subject to randomly occurring sensor saturations governed by Bernoulli-distributed sequences. Special effort is made to obtain an upper bound of the filtering error covariance in the presence of linearisation errors, stochastic sensor saturations as well as event-triggered transmissions. A filter is designed to minimise the obtained upper bound at each time step by solving two sets of Riccati-like matrix equations, and thus the recursive algorithm is suitable for online computation. Sufficient conditions are established under which the filtering error is exponentially bounded in mean square. The applicability of the presented method is demonstrated by dealing with the fault estimation problem. An illustrative example is exploited to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.     

Decentralized fault tolerant control of a class of nonlinear interconnected systems

In this paper, a novel decentralized fault tolerant controller (DFTC) is proposed for interconnected nonlinear continuous-time systems by using local subsystem state vector alone in contrast with traditional distributed fault tolerant controllers or fault accommodation schemes where the measured or the estimated state vector of the overall system is needed. The proposed decentralized controller uses local state and input vectors and minimizes the fault effects on all the subsystems. The DFTC in each subsystem includes a traditional controller term and a neural network based online approximator term which is used to deal with the unknown parts of the system dynamics, such as fault and interconnection terms. The stability of the overall system with the proposed DFTC is investigated by using Lyapunov approach and the boundedness of all signals is guaranteed in the presence of a fault. Therefore, the proposed controller enables the system to continue its normal operation after the occurrence of a fault, as long as it does not cause failure or break down of a component. Although the decentralized fault tolerant controller is designed mainly for large-scale systems where continuous transmissions between subsystems is not possible, it can also be applied to small-scale systems where sensor measurements are available for use in all subsystems. Finally the proposed methods are verified and compared in simulation environment.     

Reduced-order observer-based decentralised control of non-linear interconnected systems

The output feedback-based asymptotic stabilisation problem for a class of non-linear interconnected systems is considered, where the non-linear interconnections between subsystems satisfy quadratic constraints. A novel decentralised dynamic output feedback control strategy involving local projection operator-based reduced-order observers is proposed. This decentralised controller is characterised by the separation property. Two easily verifiable conditions that guarantee the asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system driven by the proposed decentralised controller are given. The effectiveness of the developed decentralised control strategy is illustrated with a numerical example and simulations.
