Network-Based Event-Triggered Control for Singular Systems With Quantizations

This paper investigates the problem of event-triggered H ∞ control for a networked singular system with both state and input subject to quantizations. First, a discrete event-triggered scheme, which activates only at each sampling instance, is presented. Next, two new sector bound conditions of quantizers are proposed to provide a more intuitive stability analysis and controller design. Then, network conditions, quantizations, and the event-triggered scheme are modeled as a time-delay system. With this model, the criteria are derived for H ∞ performance analysis, and codesigning methods are developed for the event trigger and the quantized state feedback controller. An inverted pendulum controlled through the network is given to demonstrate the effectiveness and potential of the new design techniques.
