Decentralized Adaptive Robust State Feedback for Uncertain Large-Scale Interconnected Systems with Time Delays

The problem of the decentralized robust control is considered for a class of large-scale time-varying systems withdelayed state perturbations and external disturbances in the interconnections. Here, the upper bounds of the delayed stateperturbations and external disturbances in the interconnections are assumed to be unknown. Adaptation laws areproposed to estimate such unknown bounds; by making use of the updated values of the unknown bounds, decentralized linear and nonlinear memoryless robust state feedback controllers are constructed. Based on Lyapunov stability theoryand Lyapunov–Krasovskii functionals, as well as employing the proposed decentralized nonlinear robust state feedback controllers, it is shown that the solutions of the resulting adaptive closed-loop large-scale time-delay system can be guaranteed to be uniformly bounded and that the states converge uniformly and asymptotically to zero. It is also shown that the proposed decentralized linear robust state feedback controllers can guarantee the uniform ultimate boundedness of the resulting adaptive closed-loop large-scale time-delay system. Finally, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the validity of the results.

Decentralized robust control for a class of uncertain large-scale interconnected nonlinear dynamical systems

The problem of the decentralized robust control for a class of large-scale interconnected nonlinear dynamical systems with input interconnection and external interconnection perturbations is considered. Based on the stabilizability of each nominal isolated subsystem (i.e., the isolated subsystem in the absence of interconnection perturbations), a class of decentralized local state feedback controllers is proposed, and some sufficient conditions are derived by making use of the Lyapunov stability criterion such that uncertain large-scale interconnected systems can be stabilized asymptotically by these decentralized state feedback controllers. For large-scale systems with only input interconnection perturbations, such decentralized controllers become a class of decentralized stabilizing state feedback controllers. That is, the decentralized stability of such large-scale systems can be guaranteed always by using the decentralized state feedback controllers proposed in the paper. Finally, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the validity of the results.     

Stability analysis and uniform ultimate boundedness control synthesis for a class of nonlinear switched difference systems

In this paper, we deal with stability analysis of a class of nonlinear switched discrete-time systems. Systems of the class appear in numerical simulation of continuous-time switched systems. Some linear matrix inequality type stability conditions, based on the common Lyapunov function approach, are obtained. It is shown that under these conditions the system remains stable for any switching law. The obtained results are applied to the analysis of dynamics of a discrete-time switched population model. Finally, a continuous state feedback control is proposed that guarantees the uniform ultimate boundedness of switched systems with uncertain nonlinearity and parameters.

Resilient Decentralized Stabilization for Interconnected Discrete-Time Systems

The robust decentralized feedback stabilization problem of a class of nonlinear interconnected discrete-time systems is considered. This class of systems has uncertain nonlinear perturbations satisfying quadratic constraints that are functions of the overall state vector. Decentralized state and output feedback schemes are proposed and analyzed such that the overall closed-loop system guarantees global stability condition, derived in terms of local subsystem variables. Incorporating feedback gain perturbations, new resilient decentralized feedback schemes are subsequently developed. The proposed approach is formulated within the framework of convex optimization over LMIs. Simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed decentralized output-feedback controllers.     

Decentralized Reliable Control of Interconnected Systems with Time-Varying Delays

In this paper, we study the problem of designing decentralized reliable feedback control methods under a class of control failures for a class of linear interconnected continuous-time systems having internal subsystem time-delays and additional time-delay couplings. These failures are described by a model that takes into consideration possible outages or partial failures in every single actuator of each decentralized controller. The decentralized control design is performed through two steps. First, a decentralized stabilizing reliable feedback control set is derived at the subsystem level through the construction of appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and, second, a feasible linear matrix inequalities procedure is then established for the effective construction of the control set under different feedback schemes. Two schemes are considered: the first is based on state measurement and the second utilizes static output feedback. The decentralized feedback gains in both schemes are determined by convex optimization over LMIs. We characterize decentralized linear matrix inequalities (LMIs)-based feasibility conditions such that every local closed-loop subsystem of the linear interconnected delay system is delay-dependent robustly asymptotically stable with a γ-level ℒ₂-gain. The developed results are tested on a representative example.

Decentralized Output Feedback Sliding Mode Control of Nonlinear Large-Scale Systems with Uncertainties

In this paper, a class of nonlinear large-scale interconnected systems with mismatched uncertainties is considered. Based on sliding mode control ideas, a kind of decentralized robust control scheme using only output information is presented to stabilize the system. The approach allows more general uncertain interconnections than all of the associated existing work and better robustness is achieved. Compared with existing decentralized output feedback schemes, it is unnecessary to solve Lyapunov equations and the so-called strict structural condition is avoided. Also, it is not necessary that the nominal subsystem is output feedback stabilizable. Finally, a simulation example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the results.     

Decentralized stabilization of a class of interconnected systems

Abstract. This paper is concerned with the decentralized stabilization of continuous and discretelinear interconnected systems with the structural constraints about the interconnection matri-ces. For the continuous case,the main improvement in the paper as compared with the corre-sponding results in the literature is to extend the considered class of systems from S to S“ (bothwill be defined in the paper) without resulting in high decentralized gain and difficult numericalcomputation. The algorithm for obtaining decentralized state feedback control to stable theoverall system is presented. The discrete case and some very useful results are discussed aswell.

Quantized-states-based adaptive control against unknown slippage effects of uncertain mobile robots with input and state quantization

An adaptive tracking design strategy based on quantized state feedback is developed for uncertain nonholonomic mobile robots with unknown wheel slippage effects. All state variables and control torques are assumed to be quantized by the state and input quantizers, respectively, in a network control environment. Thus, the quantized state feedback information is only available for the tracking control design. An approximation-based adaptive controller using quantized states is recursively designed to ensure the robust adaptive tracking against unknown wheel slippage effects where the quantized-states-based adaptive mechanism is derived to compensate for unknown wheel slippage effects, system nonlinearities, and quantization errors. The boundedness of the quantization errors and estimated parameters in the closed-loop system is analyzed by presenting some theoretical lemmas. Based on these lemmas, we prove the uniform ultimate boundedness of closed-loop signals and the convergence of the trajectory tracking error in the presence of wheel slippage effects. Simulations verify the effectiveness of the resulting tracking scheme.     

Book Notices

In this note, a decentralized stabilization condition for large-scale interconnected linear continuous systems with unknown but bounded constant delays is established under a certain interconnection decomposition. Two numerical schemes for designing memoryless local state feedback controllers are proposed.

Decentralized control with overlapping information sets

A decentralized control scheme is proposed for linear systems composed of overlapping subsystems. By expanding the state space of the system, a higher-dimensional space is formed where the subsystems appear as disjoint. In the expanded space, standard optimization techniques can be used to formulate a suboptimal decentralized control law for the overall system. A suitable contraction of the obtained control law, which is compatible with the information constraints imposed by the overlapping subsystems, can be implemented in the original system. The application of the proposed decentralized control scheme is illustrated using a 19th order model for load-frequency control of a two-area interconnected power system.The research reported herein was supported in part by the US Department of Energy, Electric Energy Division, under Contract No. EC-77-S-03-1493, and in part by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. ECS-8011210.
