Modelling and region stability analysis of wind turbines with battery energy storage system based on switched system with multi-equilibriums
This paper deals with the modelling and control for wind turbine combined with a battery energy storage system (WT/BESS). A proportional-integral (PI) controller of pitch angle is applied to adjust the output power of WT, and a method for battery scheduling is presented for maintaining the state of charging (SOC) of BESS. When the battery level is below the lower limit, we increase the expected output power of wind turbine through raising the operation point to charge the battery. Considering the effect of charging/discharging, a switched linear system model with two equilibriums is presented firstly for such WT/BESS system. The region stability is analyzed and an approach for estimating the corresponding stable region is also given. The effectiveness of the proposed results is demonstrated by a numerical example
Almost sure stability of switching Markov Jump Linear Systems
Recently a special hybrid system called Switching
Markov Jump Linear System (SMJLS) is studied. A SMJLS is
subject to a deterministic switching and a stochastic Markovain switching. To extend the results already obtained and to investigate some new aspects of such systems, our main contributions in this paper are: (i) Transient analysis of Markov process, i.e. the expectations of the sojourn time, the activation number of any mode, and the number of switchings between any two modes; and (ii) Two sufficient conditions of the exponential almost sure stability for a general SMJLS. Different from previous work, which is a special case of our study, the transition rate matrix for the random Markov process in our study is not fixed, but varies when a deterministic switching takes place
Global exponential stabilization of language constrained switched linear discrete-time system based on the s-procedure approach
This paper considers global exponential stabilization (GES) of switched linear discrete-time system under language constraint which is generated by non-deterministic finite state automata. A technique in linear matrix inequalities called S-procedure is employed to provide sufficient conditions of GES which are less conservative than the existing Lyapunov-Metzler condition. Moreover, by revising the construction of Lyapunov matrices and the corresponding switching control policy, a more flexible result is obtained such that stabilization path at each moment might be multiple. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed results
Randomized and efficient time synchronization in dynamic wireless sensor networks: a gossip-consensus-based approach
This paper proposes novel randomized gossip-consensus-based sync (RGCS) algorithms to realize efficient time correction in dynamic wireless sensor networks (WSNs). First, the unreliable links are described by stochastic connections, reflecting the characteristic of changing connectivity gleaned from dynamicWSNs. Secondly, based on the mutual drift estimation, each pair of activated nodes fully adjusts clock rate and offset to achieve network-wide time synchronization by drawing upon the gossip consensus approach. The converge-to-max criterion is introduced to achieve a much faster convergence speed. The theoretical results on the probabilistic synchronization performance of the RGCS are presented. Thirdly, a Revised-RGCS is developed to counteract the negative impact of bounded delays, because the uncertain delays are always present in practice and would lead to a large deterioration of algorithm performances. Finally, extensive simulations are performed on the MATLAB and OMNeT++ platform for performance evaluation. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithms are not only efficient for synchronization issues required for dynamic topology changes but also give a better performance in term of converging speed, collision rate, and the robustness of resisting delay, and outperform other existing protocols

Security-based resilient event-triggered control of networked control systems under denial of service attacks
This paper is concerned with the security control problem of the networked control system (NCSs) subjected to denial of service (DoS) attacks. In order to guarantee the security performance, this paper treats the influence of packet dropouts due to DoS attacks as a uncertainty of triggering condition. Firstly, a novel resilient triggering strategy by considering the uncertainty of triggering condition caused by DoS attacks is proposed. Secondly, the event-based security controller under the resilient triggering strategy is designed while the DoS-based security performance is preserved. At last, the simulation results show that the proposed resilient triggering strategy is resilient to DoS attacks while guaranteing the security performance

Resilient control of networked control systems with stochastic denial of service attacks
This paper focuses on resilient control of networked control systems (NCSs) under the denial of service (DoS) attacks characterized by a Markov process. Firstly, based on the game between attack strategies and defense strategies, the packet dropouts induced by DoS attacks are modeled as a Markov process. Secondly, an NCS under DoS attacks is modeled as a Markovian jump linear system. Then, by use of the Lyapunov theory and the derived NCS model, four theorems are given for the system stability analysis and controller design. Finally, a numerical example is used to illustrative the effectiveness of proposed method
Synchronisation of linear continuous multi-agent systems with switching topology and communication delay
A distributed dynamic output feedback control is designed by Scardovi and Sepulchre for the synchronization of a network of identical linear systems, known as agents in literature. The design is based on some mild conditions allowing switching topology. But it assumes that there is no time delay in signal transfer between the neighbouring agents. In this paper we extend their work to include known time delay in communications. Furthermore, our design has some special features: (a) the delay can be arbitrary and only need to be uniformly bounded by a constant, (b) the conditions that time delay should be the same and sufficiently small in some literature are not required here, and (c) no local buffer is required to store past data due to time-delay effect

Nondestructive defect detection in castings by using spatial attention bilinear convolutional neural network
X-ray images of castings are widely used in manufacturing for quality assurance. This article investigates the X-ray-image-based defective detection. The main contributions in this article are twofold: first, a new full-image method is proposed to classify defective castings and nondefective ones; and second, by combining two technologies, spatial attention mechanism and bilinear pooling used in deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs), a new spatial attention bilinear CNN is proposed to enhance the representation power of CNN. To validate the above initiatives, extensive experimental studies have been carried out to show the advantages of the new method over a number of existing ones
Almost sure stability of discrete-time Markov Jump Linear Systems
This paper deals with transient analysis and almost sure stability for discrete-time Markov Jump Linear System (MJLS). The expectation of sojourn time and activation number of any mode, and switching number between any two modes of discrete-time MJLS are presented firstly. Then a result on transient behavior analysis of discrete-time MJLS is given. Finally a new deterministically testable condition for the exponential almost sure stability of discrete-time MJLS is proposed
Almost sure consensus for multi-agent systems with two level switching
In most literatures on the consensus of multi-agent systems (MASs), the agents considered are time-invariant. However in many cases, for example in airplane formation, the agents have switching dynamics and the connections between them are also changing. This is called two-level switching in this paper. We study almost sure (AS) consensus for a class of two-level switching systems. At the low level of agent dynamics, switching is determin- istic and controllable. The upper level topology switching is random and follows a Markov chain. The transition probability of the Markov chain is not fixed, but varies when low level dynamics changes. For this class of MASs, a sufficient condition for AS consensus is developed in this paper
