Firstly, employing generalized sliding mode method, we devise a sliding mode observer for evaluating state vector, actuator fault and sensor fault of the system. Secondly, according to the state estimation, we construct a sliding mode controller and prove its validity by Lyapunov's theorem. Our controller achieves satisfactory performance, and it is easier to be implemented in practical engineering than other controllers.

It is worth noting that this scenario has not been considered in the existing works. For that, a novel dynamic event-triggered output-feedback control strategy is proposed in this article.

After that, a dynamic event-triggered output-feedback controller, which has a concise linear-like form, is delicately designed to ensure that all the signals of the resulting closed-loop system are globally bounded, and the system states converge to the origin. Moreover, by enhancing the gain scaling mechanism, we further develop an improved output-feedback control strategy to counteract stronger nonlinearities.

The controller combines model-free control based on a nonlinear disturbance observer (NDOB) and adaptive integral sliding mode control. The main aim of the controller is to maintain the power system frequency close to the nominal value and achieve a balanced power exchange between tie-lines, considering the system's nonlinearities and disturbances. The proposed controller comprises four components. First, model-free intelligent PID control is implemented to overcome the complexity of the current controller, introduce the required dynamics, and reduce higher-order output derivatives. Second, a nonlinear disturbance observer is utilized to estimate the system dynamics considering uncertainties and load fluctuations. Third, fast convergence is achieved by employing an integral sliding surface. Finally, an adaptation gain dynamic is used to achieve high accuracy. The advantage of the proposed model-free adaptive robust controller lies in its simple structure and ease of regulation. The closed-loop system's stability and finite-time convergence are examined using Lyapunov stability theory.

In the related results, the controller functions are required to obey global Lipschitz condition for the suppression of sampling/execution error, and the drift and/or diffusion coefficients of the stochastic systems are restricted to polynomial or, even, linear growth. These limitations deserve overcoming for enlarged applications. To this end, a distinct framework of time/event-triggered controls is established for stochastic systems, targeted at exponential stabilization. Specifically, inclusive Lyapunov-type feasibility conditions are proposed by capturing the effect of sampling/execution error and distinguishing the role of system nonlinearities. Particularly, different from the related results, the evolution of sampling/execution error is subtly exploited via Lyapunov functions to reveal the dynamic interaction between the sampling/execution errors and system state. Then, time-triggered exponential stabilization via sampled-data controller is achieved not only in the moment sense but also in the almost sure sense. Accordingly, Lyapunov function based analysis is performed for the composite dynamics of system state and sampling error, confronted with the coupling of discontinuous and stochastic features. To further reduce execution, periodic event-triggered control is exploited to achieve exponential stabilization for stochastic nonlinear systems, by virtue of the relation with the dynamic evolution under sampled-data control.
