On a Limitation in Networked Flow Control

چکیده

The paper analyzes a continuous time flow control system, with flow of a general quantity from a source node to a sink node. The flow is one-directional, meaning that there is a saturation between the nodes that limits the flow to be positive and below a maximum. The controlled plant is located in the sink node and the controller is located in the source node. The plant and the controller are modeled by linear filters parameterized with poles and zeros. Feed forward control from measured disturbances is included. Delays affect both the downlink control signal and the uplink measurement signals. The paper proves that for large delays, L2-stability does not follow from the Popov criterion unless the quotient of the products of all zeros and the product of all poles is less than 1/kGp, where k is the slope of the saturation and Gp is the gain constant of the loop gain. In case the plant models a leaky reservoir, the conclusion is that the amount of low frequency gain of the controller cannot be arbitrarily high at the same time as the amount of leakage of the reservoir is arbitrarily low. In communications this means that an increased requirement to regulate static errors of the reservoir needs to be accompanied by a reduced flow capacity.

Modelling and Compensation of uncertain time-delays in networked control systems with plant uncertainty using an Improved RMPC Method

Control systems with digital communication between sensors, controllers and actuators are called as Networked Control Systems (NCSs). In general, NCSs encounter with some problems such as packet dropouts and network induced delays. When plant uncertainty is added to the aforementioned problems, the design of the robust controller that is able to guarantee the stability, becomes more complex. In...

Designinga Neuro-Sliding Mode Controller for Networked Control Systems with Packet Dropout

This paper addresses control design in networked control system by considering stochastic packet dropouts in the forward path of the control loop. The packet dropouts are modelled by mutually independent stochastic variables satisfying Bernoulli binary distribution. A sliding mode controller is utilized to overcome the adverse influences of stochastic packet dropouts in networked control system...

Time Delay and Data Dropout Compensation in Networked Control Systems Using Extended Kalman Filter

In networked control systems, time delay and data dropout can degrade the performance of the control system and even destabilize the system. In the present paper, the Extended Kalman filter is employed to compensate the effects of time delay and data dropout in feedforward and feedback paths of networked control systems. In the proposed method, the extended Kalman filter is used as an observer ...

Robust Model for Networked Control System with Packet Loss

The Networked Control System in modern control widely uses to decrease the implementation cost and increasing the performance. NCS in addition to its advantages is inevitable. Nevertheless they suffer of some limitations and deficiencies. Packet loss is one of the main limitations which affect the control system in different conditions and finally may lead to system instability. For this reason...

Stabilization of Networked Control Systems with Variable Delays and Saturating Inputs

In this paper, improved conditions for the synthesis of static state-feedback controller are derived to stabilize networked control systems (NCSs) subject to actuator saturation. Both of the data packet latency and dropout which deteriorate the performance of the closed-loop system are considered in the NCS model via variable delays. Two different techniques are employed to incorporate actuator...
