Abstract

In this paper, a novel event-triggered control (ETC) strategy is proposed by striking a balance between periodic sampled-data control and ETC. This leads to so-called periodic event-triggered control (PETC), in which the advantage of reduced resource utilisation is preserved on the one hand, while, on the other hand, the conditions that trigger the events still have a periodic character. The latter aspect has the advantage that the event-triggering condition has to be verified only at the periodic sampling times, instead of continuously, as in conventional ETC. To analyse the stability and the L 2 -gain properties of the resulting PETC systems, two different approaches will be presented based on (i) piecewise linear systems, and (ii) impulsive systems, respectively. Moreover, the advantages and disadvantages of each of the methods will be highlighted. The developed theory will be illustrated using a numerical example.
