Fault detection for discrete-time LPV systems using interval observers

This paper is concerned with the fault detection (FD) problem for discrete-time linear parameter-varying systems subject to bounded disturbances. A parameter-dependent FD interval observer is designed based on parameter-dependent Lyapunov and slack matrices. The design method is presented by translating the parameter-dependent linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) into finite ones. In contrast to the existing results based on parameter-independent and diagonal Lyapunov matrices, the derived disturbance attenuation, fault sensitivity and nonnegative conditions lead to less conservative LMI characterisations. Furthermore, without the need to design the residual evaluation functions and thresholds, the residual intervals generated by the interval observers are used directly for FD decision. Finally, simulation results are presented for showing the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.     

Delay-scheduled state-feedback design for time-delay systems with time-varying delays—A LPV approach

This paper is concerned with the synthesis of delay-scheduled state-feedback controllers which stabilize linear systems with time-varying delays. In this framework, it is assumed that the delay is approximately known in real-time and used in the controller in a scheduling fashion. First, a new model transformation turning a time-delay system into an uncertain LPV system is introduced. Using this transformation, a new delay-dependent stability test based on the so-called full block -procedure is developed and from this result, a new delay-dependent stabilization result is derived. Since the resulting LMI conditions depend polynomially on the parameters, a relaxation result is then applied in order to obtain a tractable finite set of finite-dimensional LMIs. The interest of the approach resides in (1) the synthesis of a new type of controller scheduled by the delay value which has a lower memory consumption than controllers with memory (since it is not necessary to store past values of the state), and (2) an easy consideration of uncertainties on the delay knowledge.

Hankel-norm model approximation for LPV systems with parameter-varying time delays

This article is concerned with Hankel-norm model approximation (HNMA) for linear parameter-varying systems with parameter-varying time delays. For a given stable system, our attention is focussed on the construction of reduced-order models, which approximate the original system well in a Hankel-norm sense. By applying the slack matrix approach, a delay-dependent sufficient condition is proposed for the robustly asymptotic stability with a Hankel-norm error performance for the error system. Then, the HNMA problem is solved by using the projection approach, which casts the model approximation into a sequential minimisation problem subject to linear matrix inequality constraints by employing the cone complementary linearisation algorithm. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Asynchronous fault detection filter design approach for discrete‐time switched linear systems

This paper is concerned with the problem of the fault detection filter design for discrete‐time switched linear systems with average dwell‐time. The designed fault detection filters are also switched systems, which are assumed to be asynchronously switched with the original switched systems. Improved results on the weighted l₂ performance and the H _? performance are first given, and the multiple Lyaounov‐like functions during matched period and unmatched period for the running time of one subsystem are used. By the aid of multiple Lyapunov‐like functions combined with Projection Lemma, the FD filters are designed such that the augmented systems under asynchronous switching are exponentially stable, and the residual signal generated by the filters achieves the weighted l₂‐gain for disturbances and guarantees the H _? performance for faults. Sufficient conditions are formulated by linear matrix inequalities, and the filter gains are characterized in terms of the solution of a convex optimization problem. Finally, examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A novel approach to L1 filter design for asynchronously switched positive linear systems with dwell time

In this paper, the L₁ filtering problem is studied for continuous‐time switched positive linear systems (SPLSs) with a small delay existing in the switching of the filter and the subsystem. Unlike the existing literature concerned with asynchronous problems of SPLSs, the synchronous and asynchronous filters will be designed separately, which implies less conservative results. By introducing a class of clock‐dependent Lyapunov function (CDLF), which jumps down when the modes of the filter or the subsystem change and may increase or decrease during the asynchronous interval, clock‐dependent sufficient conditions characterizing a nonweighted L₁‐gain performance of the filter error systems are established. Then, based on the L₁ analysis results, a pair of error‐bounding filters are designed to estimate the outputs of SPLSs. The filter gains can be obtained by solving a set of linear programming. Finally, two numerical examples are presented to show the effectiveness and advantages of the results.     

Hierarchical design of an electro-hydraulic actuator based on robust LPV methods

The paper proposes a hierarchical control design of an electro-hydraulic actuator, which is used to improve the roll stability of vehicles. The purpose of the control system is to generate a reference torque, which is required by the vehicle dynamic control. The control-oriented model of the actuator is formulated in two subsystems. The high-level hydromotor is described in a linear form, while the low-level spool valve is a polynomial system. These subsystems require different control strategies. At the high level, a linear parameter-varying control is used to guarantee performance specifications. At the low level, a control Lyapunov-function-based algorithm, which creates discrete control input values of the valve, is proposed. The interaction between the two subsystems is guaranteed by the spool displacement, which is control input at the high level and must be tracked at the low-level control. The spool displacement has physical constraints, which must also be incorporated into the control design. The robust design of the high-level control incorporates the imprecision of the low-level control as an uncertainty of the system.     

Weighted control with ‐stability constraint for switched positive linear systems

This paper is concerned with the problem of control with ‐stability constraint for a class of switched positive linear systems. The ‐stability means that all the poles of each subsystem of the resultant closed‐loop system belong to a prescribed disk in the complex plane. A sufficient condition is derived for the existence of a set of state‐feedback controllers, which guarantees that the closed‐loop system is not only positive and exponentially stable with each subsystem ‐stable but also has a weighted performance for a class of switching signals with average dwell time greater than a certain positive constant. Both continuous‐time and discrete‐time cases are considered, and all of the obtained conditions are formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities, whose solution also yields the desired controller gains and the corresponding minimal average dwell time. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the presented approach.Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Exponential H∞ filtering for uncertain discrete‐time switched linear systems with average dwell time: A µ‐dependent approach

In this paper, the problem of exponential H_∞ filter problem for a class of discrete‐time polytopic uncertain switched linear systems with average dwell time switching is investigated. The exponential stability result of the general discrete‐time switched systems using a discontinuous piecewise Lyapunov function approach is first explored. Then, a new µ‐dependent approach is proposed, which means the analysis or synthesis of the underlying systems is dependent on the increase degree µ of the piecewise Lyapunov function at the switching instants. A mode‐dependent full‐order filter is designed such that the developed filter error system is robustly exponentially stable and achieves an exponential H_∞ performance. Sufficient existence conditions for the desired filter are derived and formulated in terms of a set of linear matrix inequalities, and consequently the minimal average dwell time and the corresponding filter are obtained from such conditions for a given system decay degree. A numerical example is presented to demonstrate the potential and effectiveness of the developed theoretical results. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Input‐to‐state stability of switched nonlinear systems with delay in the active mode detection

A switched nonlinear system subject to disturbances is considered in this paper. The switching signal admits an average dwell time and a state feedback control depending on the system operating modes, detected with a maximum time delay, is applied to the system. In this framework, the input‐to‐state stability problem of the closed‐loop system is addressed. Based on some established existence conditions of mode‐dependent Lyapunov‐like functions, the values of the maximum time delay and the average dwell time that allow to achieve the input‐to‐state stability of the closed‐loop system are determined. In order to obtain more tractable results, the existence conditions of the mode‐dependent Lyapunov‐like functions are given in terms of sum‐of‐squares programming in the case of polynomial nonlinearities. In the linear case, they are expressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities and a procedure for the synthesis of the mode‐dependent controller is provided in this situation. The established theoretical results are illustrated through a control problem of a building ventilation system and a switched control problem of a vehicle suspension system.     

Observer design with guaranteed RMS gain for discrete‐time LPV systems with Markovian jumps

In this paper we consider the problem of designing state observers with guaranteed power‐to‐power (RMS) gain for a class of stochastic discrete‐time linear systems that possess both measurable parameter variations and Markovian jumps in their dynamics. It is shown in the paper that an upper bound on the RMS gain of the observer can be characterized in terms of feasibility of a family of parameter‐dependent linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Any feasible solution to these LMIs can then be used to explicitly construct a parameter‐varying jump observer that guarantees the desired performance level. This design framework is then specialized to a problem of state estimation for a linear parameter‐varying plant whose state measurements are available through a lossy Bernoulli channel. Two numerical examples illustrate the results. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Inverse system design for LPV systems using parameter-dependent Lyapunov functions

This paper addresses the design problem of gain-scheduled inverse systems (GSISs) for linear parameter-varying (LPV) systems, whose state-space matrices are represented as parametrically affine matrices, using parameter-dependent Lyapunov functions (PDLFs), and proposes a method for them via parametrically affine linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Our method includes robust inverse system (RIS) design as a special case. For RIS design, our method theoretically encompasses the method using constant Lyapunov functions. A design example is included to illustrate our conclusions.
