The integration of renewable energy resources to DC microgrid has captured the attention of the researchers in recent years. One of the active field of application of DC distribution is the islanded DC microgrid (DC ImG). The DC ImG present numerous challenges to researchers. Among many challenges, the regulation of voltage and stability of the system is indispensable to efficient operation. The voltage stability problem becomes more prominent when the system is exposed to disturbances and possess uncertainties in parameters. However, challenges can be overcome by skilful design of a robust controller for the system. Therefore, in this paper, an output-feedback based centralized robust control scheme is proposed. The proposed controller is designed to maintain good control performance in the presence of parametric uncertainties and exogenous disturbances. The uncertainties of the DC microgrid is modelled as a linear time-varying state-space system. The upper and the lower bounds of the time-varying parameters are determined by a Lebesque-measurable matrix. To attenuate the exogenous disturbances of the system [Formula: see text] based output-feedback controller is designed. The system stability is assured by the Lyapunov function candidate. The output-feedback controller needs only the voltage measurement; therefore, it requires less communication bandwidth as compared to the state-feedback. To obtain the controller parameters linear matrix inequality constraints are formulated and solved. The performance of the proposed controller is verified via simulations and compared with the existing schemes.

This study proposes a novel variable structure control (VSC) for the mismatched uncertain systems with unknown time-varying delay. The novel VSC includes the finite-time convergence sliding mode, invariance property, asymptotic stability, and measured output only. A necessary and sufficient condition guaranteeing the existence of sliding surface is given. A novel lemma is established to deal with the control design problem for a wider class of time-delay systems. A suitable reduced-order observer (ROO) is constructed to estimate unmeasured state variables of the systems. A novel finite-time output feedback controller (FTOFC) is investigated, which is based on the ROO tool and the Moore-Penrose inverse technique. Moreover, with the help of this lemma and the proposed FTOFC, restrictions on most existing works are also eliminated. In addition, an asymptotic stability analysis is implemented by means of the feasibility of the linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) and given desirable sliding mode dynamics. Finally, a MATLAB simulation result on a numerical example is performed to show the effectiveness and advantage of the proposed method.

This paper considers the problem of designing an observer-based output feedback controller to exponentially stabilize a class of linear systems with an interval time-varying delay in the state vector. The delay is assumed to vary within an interval with known lower and upper bounds. The time-varying delay is not required to be differentiable, nor should its lower bound be zero. By constructing a set of Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals and utilizing the Newton-Leibniz formula, a delay-dependent stabilizability condition which is expressed in terms of Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) is derived to ensure the closed-loop system is exponentially stable with a prescribed α-convergence rate. The design of an observerbased output feedback controller can be carried out in a systematic and computationally efficient manner via the use of an LMI-based algorithm. A numerical example is given to illustrate the design procedure.

This paper addresses the design problem of robust H2 output feedback controller design for damping power system oscillations. Sufficient conditions for the existence of output feedback controllers with norm-bounded parameter uncertainties are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Furthermore, a convex optimization problem with LMI constraints is formulated to design the output feedback controller which minimizes an upper bound on the worst-case H2 norm for a range of admissible plant perturbations. The technique is illustrated with applications to the design of stabilizer for a single-machine infinite-bus (SMIB) power system. The LMI based control ensures adequate damping for widely varying system operating.

This article presents a new output feedback controller design method for polynomial linear parameter varying model with bounded parameter variation rate. Based on parameter-dependent Lyapunov function, the polynomial linear parameter varying system controller design is formulated into an optimization problem constrained by parameterized linear matrix inequalities. To solve this problem, first, this optimization problem is equivalently transformed into a new form with elimination of coupling relationship between parameter-dependent Lyapunov function, controller, and object coefficient matrices. Then, the control solving problem was reduced to a normal convex optimization problem with linear matrix inequalities constraint on a newly constructed convex polyhedron. Moreover, a parameter scheduling output feedback controller was achieved on the operating condition, which satisfies robust performance and dynamic performances. Finally, the feasibility and validity of the controller analysis and synthesis method are verified by the numerical simulation.

This paper investigates the problems of stabilization and control for time-delay switched fuzzy systems using output feedback controller. Based on the linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique, multiple Lyapunov method is used to obtain a sufficient condition for the existence of the controller for the output feedback. Then an algorithm is constructed to transform the sufficient condition into a LMI form, thus obtaining a method for designing the controller. The designed controller guarantees the closed-loop system to be asympototically stable. A numerical example is given to show the effectiveness of our method.
