Adaptive Optimal Output Regulation of Interconnected Singularly Perturbed Systems With Application to Power Systems

This article studies the adaptive optimal output regulation problem for a class of interconnected singularly perturbed systems(SPSs) with unknown dynamics based on reinforcement learning(RL).Taking into account the slow and fast characteristics among system states,the interconnected SPS is decomposed into the slow time-scale dynamics and the fast timescale dynamics through singular perturbation theory.For the fast time-scale dynamics with interconnections,we devise a decentralized optimal control strategy by selecting appropriate weight matrices in the cost function.For the slow time-scale dynamics with unknown system parameters,an off-policy RL algorithm with convergence guarantee is given to learn the optimal control strategy in terms of measurement data.By combining the slow and fast controllers,we establish the composite decentralized adaptive optimal output regulator,and rigorously analyze the stability and optimality of the closed-loop system.The proposed decomposition design not only bypasses the numerical stiffness but also alleviates the high-dimensionality.The efficacy of the proposed methodology is validated by a load-frequency control application of a two-area power system.

Wavelet Multi-Resolution Interpolation Galerkin Method for Linear Singularly Perturbed Boundary Value Problems

In this study,a wavelet multi-resolution interpolation Galerkin method(WMIGM)is proposed to solve linear singularly perturbed boundary value problems.Unlike conventional wavelet schemes,the proposed algorithm can be readily extended to special node generation techniques,such as the Shishkin node.Such a wavelet method allows a high degree of local refinement of the nodal distribution to efficiently capture localized steep gradients.All the shape functions possess the Kronecker delta property,making the imposition of boundary conditions as easy as that in the finite element method.Four numerical examples are studied to demonstrate the validity and accuracy of the proposedwavelet method.The results showthat the use ofmodified Shishkin nodes can significantly reduce numerical oscillation near the boundary layer.Compared with many other methods,the proposed method possesses satisfactory accuracy and efficiency.The theoretical and numerical results demonstrate that the order of theε-uniform convergence of this wavelet method can reach 5.

A Dimension-Splitting Variational Multiscale Element-Free Galerkin Method for Three-Dimensional Singularly Perturbed Convection-Diffusion Problems

By introducing the dimensional splitting(DS)method into the multiscale interpolating element-free Galerkin(VMIEFG)method,a dimension-splitting multiscale interpolating element-free Galerkin(DS-VMIEFG)method is proposed for three-dimensional(3D)singular perturbed convection-diffusion(SPCD)problems.In the DSVMIEFG method,the 3D problem is decomposed into a series of 2D problems by the DS method,and the discrete equations on the 2D splitting surface are obtained by the VMIEFG method.The improved interpolation-type moving least squares(IIMLS)method is used to construct shape functions in the weak form and to combine 2D discrete equations into a global system of discrete equations for the three-dimensional SPCD problems.The solved numerical example verifies the effectiveness of the method in this paper for the 3D SPCD problems.The numerical solution will gradually converge to the analytical solution with the increase in the number of nodes.For extremely small singular diffusion coefficients,the numerical solution will avoid numerical oscillation and has high computational stability.

THE UNIFORM CONVERGENCE OF A DG METHOD FOR A SINGULARLY PERTURBED VOLTERRA INTEGRO-DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION

The purpose of this work is to implement a discontinuous Galerkin(DG)method with a one-sided flux for a singularly perturbed Volterra integro-differential equation(VIDE)with a smooth kernel.First,the regularity property and a decomposition of the exact solution of the singularly perturbed VIDE with the initial condition are provided.Then the existence and uniqueness of the DG solution are proven.Then some appropriate projection-type interpolation operators and their corresponding approximation properties are established.Based on the decomposition of the exact solution and the approximation properties of the projection type interpolants,the DG method achieves the uniform convergence in the L2 norm with respect to the singular perturbation parameter e when the space of polynomials with degree p is used.A numerical experiment validates the theoretical results.Furthermore,an ultra-convergence order 2p+1 at the nodes for the one-sided flux,uniform with respect to the singular perturbation parameter e,is observed numerically.

On the model-based networked control for singularly perturbed systems

In this paper, the control of a two-time-scale plant, where the sensor is connected to a linear controller/ actuator via a network is addressed. The slow and fast systems of singularly perturbed systems are used to produce an estimate of the plant state behavior between transmission times, by which one can reduce the usage of the network. The approximate solutions of the whole systems are derived and it is shown that the whole systems via the network control are generally asymptotically stable as long as their slow and fast systems are both stable. These results are also extended to the case of network delay.

State feedback design for singularly perturbed system using unified approach

The state feedback design for singularly perturbed systems described in Delta operator is considered. The composite state feedback controller for slow and fast subsystems is designed by using the direct method. The obtained results can bring previous conclusions of continuous and discrete time systems into the unified Delta framework. A simulation example is presented to demonstrate the validity and efficiency of the design.

Numerical Solution of Quasilinear Singularly Perturbed Problems by the Principle of Equidistribution

In this paper, the numerical solution and its error analysis of quasilinear singular perturbation two-point boundary value problems based on the principle of equidistribution are given. On the non-uniform grid of the uniformly distributed arc-length monitor function, the solution of the simple upwind scheme is obtained. It is proved that the adaptive simple upwind scheme based on the principle of equidistribution has uniform convergence for small perturbation parameters. Numerical experiments are carried out and the error analysis are confirmed.

Optimal deterministic disturbances rejection for singularly perturbed linear systems

Optimal deterministic disturbances rejection control problem for singularly perturbed linear systems is considered. By using the slow-fast decomposition theory of singular perturbation, the existent and unique conditions of the feedforward and feedback composite control （FFCC） laws for both infinite-time and finite-time are proposed, and the design approaches are given. A disturbance observer is introduced to make the FFCC laws realizable physically. Simulation results indicate that the FFCC laws are robust with respect to external disturbances.

Ill-conditioned stable inversion arising from singularly perturbed zero dynamics

The ill-conditioned stable inversion is studied for slightly nonminimum phase systems whose zero dynam- ics is singularly perturbed, that is, the relative degree is ill-defined. For these systems, we show that there exists an inherent limitation in the bandwidth of a reference trajectory to be tracked when a well-conditioned feedforward input via stable inversion is sought. We assert that, when the violation of this limitation occurs, the so-called reference trajectory redesign is called for. Our analysis results can provide an explicit assessment as well as useful guidance for the reference trajectory redesign if needed.

BOUNDARY AND ANGULAR LAYER BEHAVIOR IN SINGULARLY PERTURBED SEMILINEAR SYSTEMS

Some authors employed the method and technique of differential inequalities to obtain fairly general results concerning the existence and asymptotic behavior, as ?-n+ , of the solutions of scalar boundary value problemsIn this paper, we extend these results to vector boundary value problems, under analogous stability conditions on the solution u = u(t) of the reduced equation 0 = h(t, u) Two types of asymptotic behavior are studied, depending on whether the reduced solution u(f) has or does not have a con tinuous first derivative in (a, b) leading to the phenomena of boundary and angular layers.
