H ∞ Control for a Class of Two-Time-Scale Cyber–Physical Systems: An Asynchronous Dynamic Event-Triggered Protocol

In this article, theH∞control problem is investigated for a class of two-time-scale cyber-physical systems (TTSCPSs). In order to reduce the network bandwidth occupation and lighten the computation burden, an asynchronous dynamic event-triggered protocol (ADETP) is designed to arrange the signal transmissions from sensors to the composite controllers, in which the triggering sequences of fast and slow system components are determined separately. A novel composite controller based on the proposed ADETP is designed dependent on the singular perturbation parameter (SPP) such that the closed-loop TTSCPS is asymptotically stable with meeting a requiredH∞performance index when the SPP is no more than a given upper bound. Gain matrices of the desired composite controller are parameterized in terms of the solutions to certain matrix inequalities that are readily solvable. Finally, simulation results of a nuclear reactor are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
