Periodic sampled-data-based dynamic model control of switched linear systems

Abstract

Sampled-data control as an effective mean of digital control has shown its prominent superiority in most practical industries and a zero-order holder (ZOH) is often introduced to maintain continuity of control in the field of sampled-data control system. However, it decreases the control accuracy in a certain extent since the state will be held invariably within each sampling interval. In order to improve the control accuracy, this paper proposes a dynamic model-based control strategy instead of ZOH for a class of switched sampled-data control systems. The model, which is built by abstracting the plant knowledge, is located at the controller side. The controller is set up based on the model state and it provides control input to the switched system. A fixed sampling period is adopted, under which a hybrid-dwell time switching condition is revealed by taking into account asynchronous switching. With reasonable design of switching condition, exponential stability of the closed-loop system can be guaranteed. Finally, advantages of our proposed method are presented through a numerical example by comparing with the result of ZOH-based control.
