A robust nonfragile observer-based controller for a linear time-invariant system with structured uncertainty is introduced. The [Formula: see text] robust stability of the closed-loop system is guaranteed by use of the Lyapunov theorem in the presence of undesirable disturbance. For the sake of addressing the fragility problem, independent sets of time-dependent gain-uncertainties are assumed to be existing for the controller and the observer elements. In order to satisfy the arbitrary H2-normed constraints for the control system and to enable automatic determination of the optimal [Formula: see text] bound of the performance functions in disturbance rejection control, additional necessary and sufficient conditions are presented in a linear matrix equality/inequality framework. The [Formula: see text] observer-based controller is then transformed into an optimization problem of coupled set of linear matrix equalities/inequality that can be solved iteratively by use of numerical software such as Scilab. Finally, concerning the evaluation of the performance of the controller, the control system is implemented in real time on a mechanical system, aiming at vibration suppression. The plant under study is a multi-input single-output clamped-free piezo-laminated smart beam. The nominal mathematical reduced-order model of the beam with piezo-actuators is used to design the proposed controller and then the control system is implemented experimentally on the full-order real-time system. The results show that the closed-loop system has a robust performance in rejecting the disturbance in the presence of the structured uncertainty and in the presence of the unmodeled dynamics.

A correlation equation is established between open-loop test data and the desired closed-loop system characteristics permitting control system synthesis to be done on the basis of a numerical approach using experimental data. The method is applicable when the system is linear-time-invariant and open-loop stable. The major merits of the algorithm are two-fold: 1) Arbitrary placement of the closed-loop system equation is possible, and 2) explicit knowledge of an open-loop system model is not needed for the controller synthesis.

Abstract This paper is concerned with the discrete event-triggered dynamic output-feedback ${H}_{\infty }$ control problem for the uncertain networked control system, where the time-varying sampling, network-induced delay and packet losses are taken into account simultaneously. The random packet losses are described via the Bernoulli distribution. And then, the closed-loop system is modelled as an augmented time-delay system with interval time-varying delay. By using the Lyapunov stability theory and the augmented state space method, the sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system are proposed in the form of linear matrix inequalities. At the same time, the design method of the ${H}_{\infty }$ controller is created. Finally, a numerical example is employed to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The problem of state feedback optimal pole assignment is to design a feedback gain such that the closed-loop system has desired eigenvalues and such that certain quadratic performance index is minimized. Optimal pole assignment controller can guarantee both good dynamic response and well robustness properties of the closed-loop system. With the help of a class of linear matrix equations, necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution to the optimal pole assignment problem are proposed in this paper. By properly choosing the free parameters in the parametric solutions to this class of linear matrix equations, complete solutions to the optimal pole assignment problem can be obtained. A numerical example is used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

This paper studies the stabilization problem of discrete-time switched systems in the presence of a time-varying delay and parametric uncertainties. The main goal is to provide a state feedback controller to guarantee the stability of the closed-loop system with an evaluated average dwell time. In this regard, an appropriate Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional is constructed and the sufficient conditions for stability of the closed-loop system are developed in terms of feasibility testing of proposed linear matrix inequalities. These conditions only depend on the upper bounds of the time delay and uncertain parameters. Additionally, a numerical example is provided to verify the theoretical results.

The problem of reducing a multi input-multi output system to many single input-single output systems, namely the problem of input-output decoupling, is studied for the case of singular systems i.e., for systems described by dynamic and algebraic equations. The problem of input-output decoupling with simultaneous arbitrary pole assignment, via proportional plus derivative (P-D) state feedback, is extensively solved. The general explicit expression of all P-D controllers solving the decoupling problem is determined. The general form of the diagonal elements of the decoupled closed-loop system is proven to be in a form having a fixed numerator polynomial and an arbitrary denominator polynomial. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the problem of decoupling with simultaneous asymptotic stabilizability or arbitrary pole assignment are established. Furthermore, the necessary and sufficient conditions for decoupling with simultaneous impulse elimination, as well as the necessary and sufficient conditions for decoupling with arbitrary assignment of the finite and infinite poles of the closed-loop system, are established.

This paper presents an active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) technique for load frequency control of a wind integrated power system when communication delays are considered. To improve the stability of frequency control, equivalent input disturbances (EID) compensation is used to eliminate the influence of the load variation. In wind integrated power systems, two area controllers are designed to guarantee the stability of the overall closed-loop system. First, a simplified frequency response model of the wind integrated time-delay power system was established. Then the state-space model of the closed-loop system was built by employing state observers. The system stability conditions and controller parameters can be solved by some linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) forms. Finally, the case studies were tested using MATLAB/SIMULINK software and the simulation results show its robustness and effectiveness to maintain power-system stability.

A stable gain scheduled controller for a gas turbine engine that drives a variable pitch propeller is developed and described. A stability proof is developed for gain scheduled closed-loop system using global linearization and linear matrix inequality (LMI) techniques. Using convex optimization tools, a single quadratic Lyapunov function is computed for multiple linearizations near equilibrium and nonequilibrium points of the nonlinear closed-loop system. This approach guarantees stability of the closed-loop gas turbine engine system. To verify the stability of the closed-loop system on-line, an optimization problem is proposed, which is solvable using convex optimization tools. Simulation results show that the developed gain scheduled controller is capable to regulate a turboshaft engine for large thrust commands in a stable fashion with proper tracking performance.
