Robust Bumpless Transfer Control for Switched Systems with Unmatched Uncertainties Based on the Common Robust Integral Sliding Mode Under Arbitrary Switching Rules

In this paper, a robust bumpless transfer control scheme for tracking control is proposed to avoid large jumps in the control signals for a switched system (SS) with unmatched uncertainty and disturbance. The robust bumpless controller comprises a robust linear feedback control (RLFC) and a continuous sliding mode control (CSMC) based on the given robust integral sliding mode (RISM). The RLFC meets the requirement of bumpless indices, and the CSMC suppresses the unmatched uncertainty and disturbance. First, the RLFC design is proposed, and the linear feedback coefficients satisfy the bumpless indices, despite the uncertainty and disturbance. Then, a RISM surface design is proposed, in which the uncertain SS satisfies the given H-infinity robust performance index, and can resist the unmatched uncertainty. Consequently, the CSMC ensures that the RISM surface can be reached in finite time from the initial time instant. By composing the CSMC with the RLFC, the control scheme achieves the robust trajectory tracking and the suppression of the control signal bumps during switching. Finally, the proposed robust bumpless transfer control scheme was applied to the different examples, and the simulation results verified its effectiveness.

Bumpless transfer control of switched systems: A dynamic event-triggering switching control approach

This paper studies the bumpless transfer (BT) control issue for switched systems with event-triggered (ET) control input. The aim is to reduce the jumps in control input at both switching and triggering points, while capturing the stability of the switched systems. First, a dynamic ET program is constructed with the triggering condition based on the level of suppression of input signal jumps. This not only reduces input jumps at triggering points, but also prevents Zeno behavior caused by triggering within the operation time interval of subsystems. Second, a sampled state-dependent switching signal is designed to ensure a dwell time for subsystems to prevent Zeno phenomenon induced by switching. Further, a switched ET controller with alleviated jumps is designed. Third, conditions are obtained to simultaneously reach both stabilization and BT of switched systems. Finally, the effectiveness of the theoretical results is demonstrated through a simulation of an engine model.

H ∞ bumpless transfer control for switched affine systems with its application to turbofan engine model

Switched affine systems (SASs) are a special class of switched systems. The existing works about SASs predominantly focuses on steady-state performance. There exist limited attention given to transient performance, particularly the transient performance induced by switchings. The inappropriate switchings can induce severe signal jumps, degrade the steady-state performance of the system, and even lead to instability. The bumpless transfer control (BTC) represents an effective strategy for mitigating signal jumps. However, the existing BTC methods are primarily designed for general switched systems, and these approaches are often not applicable to SASs. This article is focussed on the issue of H ∞ BTC for SASs under unmodeled disturbances. Firstly, an affine term (AT) related to H ∞ bumpless transfer (BT) performance definition is introduced for the SAS to characterise the alleviation level of the bumps in the control input signal at switching points. Secondly, a criterion is established to enable the solvability of the H ∞ BTC problem for the SAS. Thirdly, an H ∞ BT controller and a switching signal are co-designed to drive the SAS to satisfy the H ∞ BT performance which may not be shared by the subsystems. Finally, a turbofan engine model example is implemented to illustrate the availability and rationality of the suggested H ∞ BTC scheme.

Bumpless transfer control for switched time-delay systems with application to aero-engine control

For switched time-delay systems, the bumpless transfer control issue is investigated by utilizing the multiple piecewise Lyapunov–Krasovskii function approach. First, a time-delay-dependent bumpless transfer concept is put forward to depict the transient performance of switched time-delay systems, which restricts the bumps in the amplitude of the present state and the time-delay state, simultaneously. Second, a state-dependent switching signal with a prescribed time is designed to avoid switching frequently. A time-varying switching controller is developed to decrease control bumps. Third, under the premise of achieving asymptotic stability, a solvability condition ensuring a satisfactory bumpless transfer performance is derived through relaxing the traditional bumpless transfer condition. Finally, an instance of the aero-engine control system is used for exhibiting the validity of the presented method.

Secure consensus for positive multi‐agent systems with bumpless transfer control under Denial‐of‐Service attacks

AbstractThis article investigates the secure consensus control problem of positive multi‐agent systems under multiple‐mode Denial‐of‐Service (DoS) attacks. A bumpless transfer (BT) control based secure mode strategy is proposed to improve the switching transient performance due to the system being actively switched to secure mode when attack is detected. Considering possible time delays for agents dealing with the issues of DoS attacks, an asynchronous switching model is established between system models and communication topology. With the stability theory of positive systems, sufficient and necessary conditions are established to guarantee the positivity of multi‐agent systems under the secure mode strategy. Because the switching law caused by external attacks is unknown in advance, the BT control is specifically implemented through the controller gain interpolation technique. By multiple Lyapunov functions (MLFs) approach, secure consensus is achieved with a trade‐off among controller performance, attack parameters, and switching delays. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.

Bumpless transfer control for switched positive time-delay systems with linear-type dissipative inequalities

In this paper, a family of amplitude limited controllers and a hysteresis switching paradigm, for switched positive systems with time-varying delays, are simultaneously determined to achieve strict (q,r) -α-dissipativity. The concept of strictly (q,r)-α-dissipative, induced by linear-type dissipative inequalities, is introduced. The main feature of the presented method lies in two aspects. The first one is that the magnitude of controller discontinuities, at the occurrence of switching, is here restricted. The other one is that the high switching frequency is refrained commonly the appearance of in state-dependent switching schemes. Moreover, dissipativity analysis as well as feedback dissipativity are taken into account. Novel criteria are derived for the considered systems to be dissipativity by resorting to multi-linear copositive storage functionals. Eventually, the validity and superiority of the presented control strategy are demonstrated through two illustrative examples.

Anti-Disturbance Bumpless Transfer Control for a Switched Systems via a Switched Equivalent-Input-Disturbance Approach

This paper concentrates on the issue of anti-disturbance bumpless transfer (ADBT) control design for switched systems. The ADBT control design problem refers to designing a continuous controller and a switching rule to ensure the switched system satisfies the ADBT property. First, the concept of the ADBT property is introduced. Then, via a switched equivalent-input-disturbance (EID) methodology, a switched EID estimator is formulated to estimate the impact of external disturbances within the switched system. Second, a bumpless transfer control is then constructed via a compensator integrating an EID estimation. Finally, the effectiveness of the presented control scheme is verified by controlling a switching resistor–inductor–capacitor circuit on the Matlab platform. Above all, a new configuration for ADBT control of switched systems is established via a switched EID methodology.

Double-Observer-Based Bumpless Transfer Control of Switched Positive Systems

This paper investigates the bumpless transfer control of linear switched positive systems based on state and disturbance observers. First, state and disturbance observers are designed for linear switched positive systems to estimate the state and the disturbance. By combining the designed state observer, the disturbance observer, and the output, a new controller is constructed for the systems. All gain matrices are described in the form of linear programming. By using co-positive Lyapunov functions, the positivity and stability of the closed-loop system can be ensured. In order to achieve the bumpless transfer property, some additional sufficient conditions are imposed on the control conditions. The novelties of this paper lie in that (i) a novel framework is presented for positive disturbance observer, (ii) double observers are constructed for linear switched positive systems, and (iii) a bumpless transfer controller is proposed in terms of linear programming. Finally, two examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed results.

Bumpless transfer control for switched impulsive positive systems with [formula omitted]-gain performance

This paper investigates the problem of bumpless transfer control for switched impulsive positive systems with L1-gain performance. For switched impulsive positive systems, the control bump is brought from both switching behavior and impulsive effects. First, the concept of bumpless transfer performance is proposed by imposing magnitude constraints on the control signal to measure the level of bumpless transfer in the switched impulsive positive system. Then, based on a new class of multiple piecewise-continuous copositive Lyapunov function, a tighter mode-dependent average dwell time switching signal bound and bumpless transfer controller are designed to realize positive property, bumpless transfer and L1-gain performance of the closed-loop systems. Finally, the feasibility and superiority of the proposed control strategy are illustrated by simulations.

Finite-time bumpless transfer control problem for switched LPV systems with guaranteed switching frequency

For the switched linear parameter-varying (LPV) systems, the finite-time bumpless transfer control (FTBTC) issue is addressed by utilising the parameter-dependent multiple piecewise Lyapunov function method. First, for the switched LPV systems, a finite-time bumpless transfer performance is proposed, which only demands that bumpless transfer inequation holds in the activated interval in place of entire intervals. Second, a switching law depending on external parameters, system state, dwell time is designed to guarantee switching frequency. Third, a time-varying switching controller is designed, under which a solvable condition of the FTBTC issue is presented. It allows the FTBTC issue of each subsystem to be unsolvable. Finally, an aero-engine model is established to confirm the availability of the proposed scheme.

AI‐enabled bumpless transfer control strategy for legged robot with hybrid energy storage system

AbstractDesigning Hybrid energy storage system (HESS) for a legged robot is significant to improve the motion performance and energy efficiency of the robot. However, switching between the driving mode and regenerative braking mode in the HESS may generate a torque bump, which has brought significant challenges to the stability of the robot locomotion. To address this issue, an AI‐enabled control strategy for bumpless transfer switching is proposed, which is composed of a Proximal Policy Optimisation (PPO)‐based non‐linear active disturbance rejection controller and Deep neural network (DNN)‐based bumpless transfer strategy. We indicate that the proposed intelligent strategy solves bumpless transfer by reducing the torque bump during the system switching process. Meanwhile, the authors analyse the energy driving subsystem and the energy regenerating subsystem based on operational modes and the energy flow. Via the parameters tuning criterion, the authors adopt a PPO algorithm to adaptively tune the parameters of the non‐linear active disturbance rejection controller, which can improve the performance of the primary torque control. A DNN‐based intelligent bumpless transfer strategy is proposed to set the initial value of two switching controllers at a switching moment. Simulations and experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

Output reachable set synthesis for singular Markovian jump systems with time-varying delay: a PD bumpless transfer control scheme

PurposeThis paper aims to study the issues of output reachable set estimation for the linear singular Markovian jump systems (SMJSs) with time-varying delay based on a proportional plus derivative (PD) bumpless transfer (BT) output feedback (OF) control scheme.Design/methodology/approachTo begin with, a sufficient criterion is given in the form of a linear matrix inequality based on the Lyapunov stability theory. Then, a PD-BT OF controller is designed to keep all the output signs of the system are maintain within a predetermined ellipsoid. Finally, numerical and practical examples are used to demonstrate the efficiency of the approach.FindingsBased on PD control and BT control method, an OF control strategy for the linear SMJSs with time-varying delay is proposed.Originality/valueThe output reachable set synthesis of linear SMJSs with time-varying delay can be solved by using the proposed approach. Besides, to obtain more general results, the restrictive assumptions of some parameters are removed. Furthermore, a sufficiently small ellipsoid can be obtained by the design scheme adopted in this paper, which reduces the conservatism of the existing results.
