Resilient Fixed-Order Distributed Dynamic Output Feedback Load Frequency Control Design for Interconnected Multi-Area Power Systems

The paper proposes a novel H∞ load frequency control(LFC) design method for multi-area power systems based on an integral-based non-fragile distributed fixed-order dynamic output feedback(DOF) tracking-regulator control scheme. To this end, we consider a nonlinear interconnected model for multiarea power systems which also include uncertainties and timevarying communication delays. The design procedure is formulated using semi-definite programming and linear matrix inequality(LMI) method. The solution of the proposed LMIs returns necessary parameters for the tracking controllers such that the impact of model uncertainty and load disturbances are minimized. The proposed controllers are capable of receiving all or part of subsystems information, whereas the outputs of each controller are local. These controllers are designed such that the resilient stability of the overall closed-loop system is guaranteed. Simulation results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. Simulation results quantify that the distributed(and decentralized) controlled system behaves well in presence of large parameter perturbations and random disturbances on the power system.

Quantized dynamic output feedback control for networked control systems

The problem of the quantized dynamic output feedback controller design for networked control systems is mainly discussed. By using the quantized information of the system measurement output and the control input, a novel networked control system model is described. This model includes many networkinduced features, such as multi-rate sampled-data, quantized signal, time-varying delay and packet dropout. By constructing suitable Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, a less conservative stabilization criterion is established in terms of linear matrix inequalities. The quantized control strategy involves the updating values of the quantizer parameters μi（i = 1, 2）（μi take on countable sets of values which dependent on the information of the system measurement outputs and the control inputs）. Furthermore, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Output-feedback Dynamic Surface Control for a Class of Nonlinear Non-minimum Phase Systems

In this paper, an output-feedback tracking controller is proposed for a class of nonlinear non-minimum phase systems.To keep the unstable internal dynamics bounded, the method of output redefinition is applied to let the stability of the internal dynamics depend on that of redefined output, thus we only need to consider the new external dynamics rather than internal dynamics in the process of designing control law. To overcome the explosion of complexity problem in traditional backstepping design, the dynamic surface control(DSC) method is firstly used to deal with the problem of tracking control for the nonlinear non-minimum phase systems. The proposed outputfeedback DSC controller not only forces the system output to asymptotically track the desired trajectory, but also drives the unstable internal dynamics to follow its corresponding bounded and causal ideal internal dynamics, which is solved via stable system center method. Simulation results illustrate the validity of the proposed output-feedback DSC controller.

Output Feedback Dynamic Surface Controller Design for Airbreathing Hypersonic Flight Vehicle

This paper addresses issues related to nonlinear robust output feedback controller design for a nonlinear model of airbreathing hypersonic vehicle. The control objective is to realize robust tracking of velocity and altitude in the presence of immeasurable states, uncertainties and varying flight conditions. A novel reduced order fuzzy observer is proposed to estimate the immeasurable states. Based on the information of observer and the measured states, a new robust output feedback controller combining dynamic surface theory and fuzzy logic system is proposed for airbreathing hypersonic vehicle. The closedloop system is proved to be semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded (SUUB), and the tracking error can be made small enough by choosing proper gains of the controller, filter and observer. Simulation results from the full nonlinear vehicle model illustrate the effectiveness and good performance of the proposed control scheme. © 2014 Chinese Association of Automation.

Global Robust and Adaptive Output Feedback Dynamic Positioning of Surface Ships

A constructive method was presented to design a global robust and adaptive output feedback controller for dynamic positioning of surface ships under environmental disturbances induced by waves, wind, and ocean currents. The ship's parameters were not required to be known. An adaptive observer was first designed to estimate the ship's velocities and parameters. The ship position measurements were also passed through the adaptive observer to reduce high frequency measurement noise from entering the control system. Using these estimate signals, the control was then designed based on Lyapunov's direct method to force the ship's position and orientation to globally asymptotically converge to desired values. Simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control system. In conclusion, the paper presented a new method to design an effective control system for dynamic positioning of surface ships.

In this paper, the control design problem for linear systems subject to actuator saturations is considered. A fuzzy gain-scheduling output feedback controller is proposed to guarantee the stability of the closed-loop system as well as providing disturbance/error attenuation measured in L2 norm. The synthesis condition is cast as a convex optimization problem in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) and can be solved efficiently. The ball-beam system is used to demonstrate the proposed saturation control approach.

Global output feedback control of feedforward nonlinear time-delay systems with unknown growth rate and unknown measurement sensitivity

This paper discusses the problem of global state regulation via output feedback for a class of feedforward nonlinear time-delay systems with unknown measurement sensitivity. Different from previous works, the nonlinear terms are dominated by upper triangular linear unmeasured (delayed) states multiplied by unknown growth rate. The unknown growth rate is composed of an unknown constant, a power function of output, and an input function. Furthermore, due to the measurement uncertainty of the system output, it is more difficult to solve this problem. It is proved that the presented output feedback controller can globally regulate all states of the nonlinear systems using the dynamic gain scaling technique and choosing the appropriate Lyapunov–Krasovskii functionals.

Fixed-Order l_1-Control for Systems with Time-Delay

In this paper, fixed-order l1-control for systems with time-delay is studied, and sufficient conditions for solvability of state-feedback l1-control and dynamic output-feedback l1-control are obtained. This paper also gives the forms of solution to l1-controller. In the paper, the problem is not cast into infinite dimensional constrained convex optimal problem, but an upper bound of l1-norm is optimized. Although the l1-control is sub-optimal, the analysis and design are simple. The result of the paper improves and develops the l1-control method.

Robust H_∞ control for neutral stochastic uncertain systems with time-varying delay

The problem of robust H_∞ control for uncertain neutral stochastic systems with time-varying delay is discussed.The parameter uncertaintie is assumed to be time varying norm-bounded.First,the stochastic robust stabilization of the stochastic system without disturbance input is investigated by nonlinear matrix inequality method.Then,a full-order stochastic dynamic output feedback controller is designed by solving a bilinear matrix inequality（BMI）,which ensures a prescribed stochastic robust H_∞ performance level for the resulting closed-loop system with nonzero disturbance input and for all admissible uncertainties.An illustrative example is provided to show the feasibility of the controller and the potential of the proposed technique.

Robust H_∞ control for aseismic structures with uncertainties in model parameters

This paper presents a robust H∞ output feedback control approach for structural systems with uncertainties in model parameters by using available acceleration measurements and proposes conditions for the existence of such a robust output feedback controller. The uncertainties of structural stiffness, damping and mass parameters are assumed to be norm-bounded. The proposed control approach is formulated within the framework of linear matrix inequalities, for which existing convex optimization techniques, such as the LM1 toolbox in MATLAB, can be used effectively and conveniently. To illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed robust H∞ strategy, a six-story building was subjected both to the 1940 E1 Centro earthquake record and to a suddenly applied Kanai-Tajimi filtered white noise random excitation. The results show that the proposed robust H∞ controller provides satisfactory results with or without variation of the structural stiffness, damping and mass parameters.

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. © 2014 Chinese Association of Automation.

High dynamic output feedback robust control of cascaded extended state observer

High dynamic tracking performance is a key technical index of hydraulic flight motion simulator(HFMS).However,the strong nonlinearities,various model uncertainties and measurement noise in hydraulic actuation systems limit the high dynamic performance improvement.In this paper,the outer axis frame of a HFMS is taken as a case study and its nonlinear dynamic model with consideration of strong nonlinearities,matched and mismatched uncertainties is established.A novel cascaded extended state observer(ESO)is proposed to estimate the unavailable system states to avoid the adverse effect of measurement noise on control performance.Meanwhile,the designed cascaded ESO also produces estimates of matched and mismatched uncertainties.Then,an output feedback robust controller(OFRC)is proposed by integrating the cascaded ESO with a robust integral of the sign of the error(RISE)feedback based on the backstepping framework.The proposed controller achieves compensation of both matched and mismatched model uncertainties in an output feedback form.Theoretical analysis indicates that the proposed OFRC ensures the boundedness of all closed-loop system signals in the presence of matched and mismatched timevarying model uncertainties.Excellent asymptotic tracking performance can also be obtained when the model uncertainties are time-invariant.Comparative experimental results show that the proposed OFRC achieves significant performance improvement compared with the extensively employed PI control with velocity feedforward(VFPI).

A robust output-feedback adaptive dynamic surface control for linear systems with input disturbance

In this paper, a robust output-feedback adaptive control is proposed for linear time-invariant （LTI） single- input single-output （SISO） plants with unmeasurable input disturbance. Using dynamic surface control （DSC） technique, it is shown that the explosion of complexity problem in backstepping control can be eliminated. Furthermore, the proposed adaptive DSC scheme has the following merits： 1） by introducing an initialization technique, the L~ performance of system tracking error can be guaranteed even if the plant high-frequency gain is unknown and the input disturbance exists, and 2） the adaptive law is necessary only at the first design step, which significantly reduces the design procedure. It is proved that with the proposed scheme, all the closed-loop signals are semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
