文摘Distributed matrix-scaled consensus is a kind of generalized cooperative control problem and has broad applications in the field of social network and engineering.This paper addresses the robust distributed matrix-scaled consensus of perturbed multi-agent systems suffering from unknown disturbances.Distributed discontinuous protocols are first proposed to drive agents to achieve cluster consensus and suppress the effect of disturbances.Adaptive protocols with time-varying gains obeying differential equations are also designed,which are completely distributed and rely on no global information.Using the boundary layer technique,smooth protocols are proposed to avoid the unexpected chattering effect due to discontinuous functions.As a cost,under the designed smooth protocols,the defined matrix-scaled consensus error tends to a residual set rather than zero,in which the residual bound is arbitrary small by choosing proper parameters.Moreover,distributed dynamic event-based matrix-scalar consensus controllers are also proposed to avoid continuous communications.Simulation examples are provided to further verify the designed algorithms.

文摘Congestion control is an inherent challenge of V2X(Vehicle to Everything)technologies.Due to the use of a broadcasting mechanism,channel congestion becomes severe with the increase in vehicle density.The researchers suggested reducing the frequency of packet dissemination to relieve congestion,which caused a rise in road driving risk.Obviously,high-risk vehicles should be able to send messages timely to alarm surrounding vehicles.Therefore,packet dissemination frequency should be set according to the corresponding vehicle’s risk level,which is hard to evaluate.In this paper,a two-stage fuzzy inference model is constructed to evaluate a vehicle’s risk level,while a congestion control algorithm DRG-DCC(Driving Risk Game-Distributed Congestion Control)is proposed.Moreover,HPSO is employed to find optimal solutions.The simulation results show that the proposed method adjusts the transmission frequency based on driving risk,effectively striking a balance between transmission delay and channel busy rate.

文摘A chance-constrained energy dispatch model based on the distributed stochastic model predictive control(DSMPC)approach for an islanded multi-microgrid system is proposed.An ambiguity set considering the inherent uncertainties of renewable energy sources(RESs)is constructed without requiring the full distribution knowledge of the uncertainties.The power balance chance constraint is reformulated within the framework of the distributionally robust optimization(DRO)approach.With the exchange of information and energy flow,each microgrid can achieve its local supply-demand balance.Furthermore,the closed-loop stability and recursive feasibility of the proposed algorithm are proved.The comparative results with other DSMPC methods show that a trade-off between robustness and economy can be achieved.

文摘The cooperative control and stability analysis problems for the multi-agent system with sampled com- munication are investigated. Distributed state feedback controllers are adopted for the cooperation of networked agents. A theorem in the form of linear matrix inequalities（LMI） is derived to analyze the system stability. An- other theorem in the form of optimization problem subject to LMI constraints is proposed to design the controller, and then the algorithm is presented. The simulation results verify the validity and the effectiveness of the pro- posed approach.

文摘This paper considers the human-in-the-loop leader-following consensus control problem of multi-agent systems(MASs)with unknown matched nonlinear functions and actuator faults.It is assumed that a human operator controls the MASs via sending the command signal to a non-autonomous leader which generates the desired trajectory.Moreover,the leader’s input is nonzero and not available to all followers.By using neural networks and fault estimators to approximate unknown nonlinear dynamics and identify the actuator faults,respectively,the neighborhood observer-based neural fault-tolerant controller with dynamic coupling gains is designed.It is proved that the state of each follower can synchronize with the leader’s state under a directed graph and all signals in the closed-loop system are guaranteed to be cooperatively uniformly ultimately bounded.Finally,simulation results are presented for verifying the effectiveness of the proposed control method.

文摘In this paper, we focus on circle formation control of multi-agent systems （MAS） with a leader. The circle formation is achieved based on the lead-following and the artificial potential field method. A distributed control law is given to make a group of agents form a circle and consequently achieve an expected angle. Finally, simulation results show that the proposed circle formation strategies are effective.

文摘In this paper,periodic event-triggered formation control problems with collision avoidance are studied for leader–follower multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAVs).Firstly,based on the Artificial Potential Field(APF)method,a novel sliding manifold is proposed for controller design,which can solve the problem of collision avoidance.Then,the event-triggered strategy is applied to the distributed formation control of multi-UAV systems,where the evaluation of the event condition is continuous.In addition,the exclusion of Zeno behavior can be guaranteed by the inter-event time between two successive trigger events have a positive lower bound.Next,a periodic event-triggered mechanism is developed for formation control based on the continuous eventtriggered mechanism.The periodic trigger mechanism does not need additional hardware circuits and sophisticated sensors,which can reduce the control cost.The stability of the control system is proved by the Lyapunov function method.Finally,some numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control protocol.

文摘This paper considers a fault-tolerant control and vibration suppression problem of flexible spacecraft.The attitude dynamics is modeled by an interconnected system,in which the rigid part and the flexible part are coupled with each other.Such a model allows us to use the interconnected system approach to analyze the flexible spacecraft.Both distributed and decentralized observer-based fault-tolerant control schemes are developed,under which the closed-loop stability of flexible spacecraft can be ensured by using the cycle-small-gain theorem.Compared with the traditional method,this paper considers the faults occurred not only in the rigid parts,but also in the flexible parts.In addition,the application of the interconnected system approach simplifies the system model of flexible spacecraft,thereby the difficulty of theoretical analysis and engineering practice of fault-tolerant control of flexible spacecraft are greatly reduced.Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed methods and the comparison of different fault-tolerant control approach.

文摘This paper investigates the distributed fault-tolerant containment control(FTCC)problem of nonlinear multi-agent systems(MASs)under a directed network topology.The proposed control framework which is independent on the global information about the communication topology consists of two layers.Different from most existing distributed fault-tolerant control(FTC)protocols where the fault in one agent may propagate over network,the developed control method can eliminate the phenomenon of fault propagation.Based on the hierarchical control strategy,the FTCC problem with a directed graph can be simplified to the distributed containment control of the upper layer and the fault-tolerant tracking control of the lower layer.Finally,simulation results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control protocol.
