Event-Triggered Data-Driven Control for Nonlinear Systems Under Frequency-Duration-Constrained DoS Attacks

This paper addresses the event-triggered model free adaptive control (MFAC) problem for unknown nonlinear systems under denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, where the design and analysis are discussed under the data-driven framework. Firstly, by using the novel pseudo partial derivative, the nonlinear systems are converted into an equivalent data-relationship model. Then, the DoS attacks are described as limited by their frequency and duration, and without any more specific assumptions about the attack structure or strategy. Next, a novel event-triggered MFAC scheme is proposed. By employing the Lyapunov stability theory, the stability performance is analyzed. Furthermore, a compensation algorithm is designed to against the adverse impact brought by the DoS attacks. Finally, simulations including a numerical example and a load frequency control (LFC) example for multi-area power systems are given to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the proposed schemes.
