Design of optimal PID controller for multivariable time-varying delay discrete-time systems using non-monotonic Lyapunov-Krasovskii approach

Abstract

This paper is concerned with stability analysis and stabilization of time-varying delay discrete-time systems in Lyapunov-Krasovskii stability analysis framework. In this regard, a less conservative approach is introduced based on non-monotonic Lyapunov-Krasovskii (NMLK) technique. The proposed method derives time-varying delay dependent stability conditions based on Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF), which are in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMI). Also, a PID controller designing algorithm is extracted based on obtained NMLK stability condition. The stability of the closed loop system is guaranteed using the designed controller. Another property that is important along with the stability, is the optimality of the controller. Thus, an optimal PID designing technique is introduced in this article. The proposed method can be used to design optimal PID controller for unstable multi-input multi-output time-varying delay discrete-time systems. The proposed stability and stabilization conditions are less conservative due to the use of non-monotonic decreasing technique. The novelty of the paper comes from the consideration of non-monotonic approach for stability analysis of time-varying delay discrete-time systems and using obtained stability conditions for designing PID controller. Numerical examples and simulations are given to evaluate the theoretical results and illustrate its effectiveness compared to the existing methods.
