Incremental stability is defined as the property that the distance between every pair of solutions to the system has stable behavior (incremental stability) and approaches zero asymptotically (incremental attractivity) in terms of graphical convergence. Basic properties of the class of graphically incrementally stable systems are considered as well as those implied by the new notions are revealed. Moreover, several sufficient and necessary conditions for a hybrid system with such a property are established. Examples are presented throughout the paper to illustrate the notions and results.","PeriodicalId":308101,"journal":{"name":"2015 54th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116732149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, a sub-optimal consensus design for linear MASs is presented to provide a constructive method for solving the initial output consensus problem in heterogeneous nonlinear MASs. Finally, the proposed approach is verified through a secondary voltage control problem in smart grids revealing its effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":308101,"journal":{"name":"2015 54th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129506486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly, an integral algebraic formula for the fractional derivatives of the output is exactly obtained in continuous noise free case, using an appropriated modulating function. Unlike the improper integrals in the definitions of the fractional derivatives, the obtained formula is given by a proper integral. Then, an additional condition is added to the used modulating function in order to deal with the non zero-mean noise. After constructing the needed modulating function, a digital fractional order differentiator is proposed in discrete noisy case with some error analysis. Finally, the proposed fractional order differentiator is applied to design a fractional order PID controller for an integer order linear system.","PeriodicalId":308101,"journal":{"name":"2015 54th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129511453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We show the existence of a trade-off between individual diversification and systemic risk caused by the two factors and we provide analytical characterization of phase transition thresholds for these factors.

In particular, the proposed method works even if the system fails to satisfy the incremental version of the circle criterion and, for example, proves frequency entrainment for a piece-wise linear analog of the van der Pol oscillator whenever the input has sufficiently large amplitude.","PeriodicalId":308101,"journal":{"name":"2015 54th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC)","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128629904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This coupling arises from (a) the model mismatch between the system dynamics and the observer model as well as (b) the uncertainty arising from imperfect fault estimation. Hence, this paper deals with an approach to integrate together the designs of the observer and controller for a linear system subject to bounded actuator and sensor faults as well as disturbance. The fault estimation is achieved by using an augmented state form of an unknown input observer (UIO) which relaxes the well-known UIO rank restriction in terms the system coefficient matrices. The integrated design problem with fault compensation is an observer-based robust control system solved via H∞ optimization using single-step LMI formulation. The closed-loop system time response is improved using LMI regional pole placement. The FTC performance is illustrated using an example with both sensor and actuator faults as well as disturbance and uncertainty.","PeriodicalId":308101,"journal":{"name":"2015 54th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128648879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through sampling the low-frequency wind speed datas into separate intervals, the dynamic process of WTGS can be modelled into Markovian jump system. The traditional operating points of wind turbine are divided into separate subregions correspondingly, where the model parameters and the control mode can be fixed in each mode. However, the control designed for each operating subregion can not guarantee the whole dynamic response performance of WTGS, which is caused by the stochastic switchings between different system modes. Hence, the pole placement problem is discussed for linear Markovian jump systems, and applied on improving the dynamics response of WTGS.","PeriodicalId":308101,"journal":{"name":"2015 54th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129326919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
