Event-Triggered Cooperative Predictive Control for Networked Multi-Agent Systems with Random Delays and Packet Dropouts
Abstract
:1. Introduction
- (i)
- An event-triggering transmission mechanism is introduced in the feedback channel of each agent to reduce data transmission times. Furthermore, the state observer is placed at the plant side of each agent, and thus, only a single state estimate is needed to be transmitted to the controller. The effect of the network on the state estimates is eliminated.
- (ii)
- A novel cooperative output tracking predictive control protocol with proportional and integral actions is designed, where predicted system estimate increments and output tracking errors are used, and a necessary and sufficient condition is obtained for the stability of the resulting closed-loop system.
- (iii)
- Numerical simulation is carried out for an NMAS consisting of three DC motor systems, and four cases of simulation results are provided and compared, which illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
