Event-triggered control for discrete-time linear parameter-varying systems

Abstract

This paper examines a new event-triggered control design approach for discrete-time linear parameter-varying (LPV) systems to reduce the data transmission of the scheduling variables and states to the controller. A parameter dependent state-feedback controller and an event-triggering condition are designed jointly to stabilize the closed-loop system. Then, a procedure is proposed to obtain an event-based reference tracking controller for the LPV systems such that the steady-state response of the system output tends to a desired reference signal and the required tracking performance specifications are satisfied. Sufficient conditions for the design of the event-triggered controller are obtained in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMI). Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control design approach. 2016 American Automatic Control Council (AACC).
