H ∞ sliding mode observer design for a class of nonlinear discrete time-delay systems: A delay-fractioning approach

Copyright @ 2012 John Wiley & SonsIn this paper, the H ∞  sliding mode observer (SMO) design problem is investigated for a class of nonlinear discrete time-delay systems. The nonlinear descriptions quantify the maximum possible derivations from a linear model, and the system states are allowed to be immeasurable. Attention is focused on the design of a discrete-time SMO such that the asymptotic stability as well as the H ∞  performance requirement of the error dynamics can be guaranteed in the presence of nonlinearities, time delay and external disturbances. Firstly, a discrete-time discontinuous switched term is proposed to make sure that the reaching condition holds. Then, by constructing a new Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional based on the idea of ‘delay fractioning’ and by introducing some appropriate free-weighting matrices, a sufficient condition is established to guarantee the desired performance of the error dynamics in the specified sliding mode surface by solving a minimization problem. Finally, an illustrative example is given to show the effectiveness of the designed SMO design scheme

Infinite horizon control and minimax observer design for linear DAEs

In this paper we construct an infinite horizon minimax state observer for a linear stationary differential-algebraic equation (DAE) with uncertain but bounded input and noisy output. We do not assume regularity or existence of a (unique) solution for any initial state of the DAE. Our approach is based on a generalization of Kalman's duality principle. The latter allows us to transform minimax state estimation problem into a dual control problem for the adjoint DAE: the state estimate in the original problem becomes the control input for the dual problem and the cost function of the latter is, in fact, the worst-case estimation error. Using geometric control theory, we construct an optimal control in the feed-back form and represent it as an output of a stable LTI system. The latter gives the minimax state estimator. In addition, we obtain a solution of infinite-horizon linear quadratic optimal control problem for DAEs.Comment: This is an extended version of the paper which is to appear in the proceedings of the 52nd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control, Florence, Italy, December 10-13, 201

Sampled-data sliding mode observer for robust fault reconstruction: A time-delay approach

A sliding mode observer in the presence of sampled output information and its application to robust fault reconstruction is studied. The observer is designed by using the delayed continuous-time representation of the sampled-data system, for which sufficient conditions are given in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) to guarantee the ultimate boundedness of the error dynamics. Though an ideal sliding motion cannot be achieved in the observer when the outputs are sampled, ultimately bounded solutions can be obtained provided the sampling frequency is fast enough. The bound on the solution is proportional to the sampling interval and the magnitude of the switching gain. The proposed observer design is applied to the problem of fault reconstruction under sampled outputs and system uncertainties. It is shown that actuator or sensor faults can be reconstructed reliably from the output error dynamics. An example of observer design for an inverted pendulum system is used to demonstrate the merit of the proposed methodology compared to existing sliding mode observer design approaches

Guaranteed passive parameterized macromodeling by using Sylvester state-space realizations

A novel state-space realization for parameterized macromodeling is proposed in this paper. A judicious choice of the state-space realization is required in order to account for the assumed smoothness of the state-space matrices with respect to the design parameters. This technique is used in combination with suitable interpolation schemes to interpolate a set of state-space matrices, and hence the poles and residues indirectly, in order to build accurate parameterized macromodels. The key points of the novel state-space realizations are the choice of a proper pivot matrix and a well-conditioned solution of a Sylvester equation. Stability and passivity are guaranteed by construction over the design space of interest. Pertinent numerical examples validate the proposed Sylvester realization for parameterized macromodeling

The considered system has a time-varying state delay and its matrices are dependent on some parameters that are measurable online. It is assumed that the measured parameters are inexact due to the existence of noise in real situations. The system with inexact measured parameters is converted to an uncertain system. Actuator fault diagnosis is carried out based on fault size estimation. For this purpose, the system is transformed to a polytopic representation and then a polytopic proportional integral unknown input observer (PI-UIO) is designed. The proposed observer provides simultaneous state and actuator fault estimation while attenuating, in the H8H8 sense, the effects of input disturbance, output noise and the uncertainty caused by inexact measured parameters. The design procedure of PI-UIO is formulated as a convex optimisation problem with a set of Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) constraints in the vertices of the parameter domain, guaranteeing robust exponential convergence of the PI-UIO. The efficiency of the proposed method is illustrated with an electrical circuit example modelled as an SDLPV system.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft

Cooperative optimal preview tracking for linear descriptor multi-agent systems

© 2018 The Franklin Institute. In this paper, a cooperative optimal preview tracking problem is considered for continuous-time descriptor multi-agent systems with a directed topology containing a spanning tree. By the acyclic assumption and state augmentation technique, it is shown that the cooperative tracking problem is equivalent to local optimal regulation problems of a set of low-dimensional descriptor augmented subsystems. To design distributed optimal preview controllers, restricted system equivalent (r.s.e.) and preview control theory are first exploited to obtain optimal preview controllers for reduced-order normal subsystems. Then, by using the invertibility of restricted equivalent relations, a constructive method for designing distributed controller is presented which also yields an explicit admissible solution for the generalized algebraic Riccati equation. Sufficient conditions for achieving global cooperative preview tracking are proposed proving that the distributed controllers are able to stabilize the descriptor augmented subsystems asymptotically. Finally, the validity of the theoretical results is illustrated via numerical simulation

Robust Output Feedback Disturbance Rejection Control by Simultaneously Estimating State and Disturbance

This paper tackles the problem of simultaneous estimation of the state and the unknown disturbance of an MIMO disturbed system and designs the disturbance rejection controller according to the estimation information. Through a series of transformations, we can transform the original system into two subsystems and then propose a sliding mode observer and a descriptor system form observer, respectively. Our algorithm can simultaneously estimate the state and the unknown disturbance. The estimation error is shown to be bounded within a small region. Moreover, the controller algorithm developed in this paper can effectively avoid the peaking phenomenon. Finally, the feasibility and the performance using the proposed method are analyzed and demonstrated with two simulated examples

Observer synthesis for the T-S fuzzy system with uncertainty and output disturbance

[[abstract]]The paper proposes a novel fuzzy observer synthesis for the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy system with uncertainty and output disturbance. First, an augmented fuzzy model is built by integrating the system state and the output disturbance into a new variable. Then, based on Lyapunov theory and LMIs tools, two main theorems are derived for particular and general cases of fuzzy systems, respectively. In each main theorem, three key conditions are proposed, under which the fuzzy observer is synthesized to estimate the system state and the output disturbance simultaneously. According to the main theorems, a methodical procedure for the fuzzy observer synthesis is also provided. Finally, the effectiveness of the observer is demonstrated by a numerical example.[[notice]]補正完畢[[incitationindex]]SCI[[booktype]]紙
