Passive Control andε-Bound Estimation of Singularly Perturbed Systems with Nonlinear Nonlinearities

Abstract

This paper considers the problems of passivity analysis and synthesis of singularly perturbed systems with nonlinear uncertainties. By a novel storage function depending on the singular perturbation parameterε, a new method is proposed to estimate theε-bound, such that the system is passive when the singular perturbation parameter is lower than theε-bound. Furthermore, a controller design method is proposed to achieve a predefinedε-bound. The proposed results are shown to be less conservative than the existing ones because the adopted storage function is more general. Finally, an RLC circuit is presented to illustrate the advantages and effectiveness of the proposed methods.
