Observer-based H∞ resilient control for a class of switched LPV systems and its application

Abstract

ABSTRACTThis paper deals with the issue of observer-based H∞ resilient control for a class of switched linear parameter-varying (LPV) systems by utilising a multiple parameter-dependent Lyapunov functions method. First, attention is focused upon the design of a resilient observer, an observer-based resilient controller and a parameter and estimate state-dependent switching signal, which can stabilise and achieve the disturbance attenuation for the given systems. Then, a solvability condition of the H∞ resilient control problem is given in terms of matrix inequality for the switched LPV systems. This condition allows the H∞ resilient control problem for each individual subsystem to be unsolvable. The observer, controller, and switching signal are explicitly computed by solving linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is illustrated by its application to a turbofan engine, which can hardly be handled by the existing approaches.
