Weak Resilience of Networked Control Systems

In this paper, we propose a method to establish a networked control system that maintains its stability in the presence of certain undesirable incidents on local controllers. We call such networked control systems weakly resilient. We first derive a necessary and sufficient condition for the weak resilience of networked systems. Networked systems do not generally satisfy this condition. Therefore, we provide a method for designing a compensator which ensures the weak resilience of the compensated system. Finally, we illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method by a power system example based on the IEEE 14-bus test system
