Process operating mode monitoring : switching online the right controller
This paper presents a structure which deals with
process operating mode monitoring and allows the control law reconfiguration
by switching online the right controller. After a short
review of the advances in switching based control systems during
the last decade, we introduce our approach based on the definition
of operating modes of a plant. The control reconfiguration
strategy is achieved by online selection of an adequate controller,
in a case of active accommodation. The main contribution lies
in settling up the design steps of the multicontroller structure
and its accurate integration in the operating mode detection and
accommodation loop. Simulation results show the effectiveness
of the operating mode detection and accommodation (OMDA)
structure for which the design steps propose a method to study the
asymptotic stability, switching performances improvement, and
the tuning of the multimodel based detector
Robust H1 control for a class of switched nonlinear systems
This article is concerned with the robust H1 control problem of a class of switched nonlinear systems with norm-bounded time-varying uncertainties. The system considered in this class is composed of two parts: a uncertain linear switched part and a nonlinear part, which is also switched systems. Under the circumstances, that the H1 control problem of all subsystems are not all solvable, the switched feedback control law and the switching law are designed using the average dwell-time method. The corresponding closed-loop switched system is exponentially stable and achieves a weighted L2-gain
