H₂ controller is proposed for networked control systems with time-varying delay. The time-varying network delay is assumed to be unknown, but its lower and upper bounds are assumed to be known. The time-varying delay is treated like a parameter variation and robust control technique is used to deal with the time-varying delay. The proposed controller can be computed by solving linear matrix inequalities. Through numerical simulations, the proposed controller is verified.

This paper proposes a new method to obtain a maximum allowable delay bound for a scheduling of networked discrete control systems and event-based scheduling method. The proposed method is formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities and can give a much less conservative delay bound than the existing methods. A network scheduling method is presented based on the delay obtained through the proposed method, and it can adjust the sampling period to allocate same utilization to each control loop. The presented method can handle three types of data (sporadic, emergency data, periodic data and non real-time message) and guarantees real-time transmission of periodic and sporadic emergency data using modified EDF scheduling method.

A microgrid (MG) with integrated renewable energy resources can benefit both utility companies and customers. As a result, they are attracting a great deal of attention. The control of a MG is very important for the stable operation of a MG. The droop-control method is popular since it avoids circulating currents among the converters without using any critical communication between them. Traditional droop control methods have the drawback of an inherent trade-off between power sharing and voltage and frequency regulation. An adaptive droop control method is proposed, which can operate in both the island mode and the grid-connected mode. It can also ensure smooth switching between these two modes. Furthermore, the voltage and frequency of a MG can be restored by using the proposed droop controller. Meanwhile, the active power can be dispatched appropriately in both operating modes based on the capacity or running cost of the Distributed Generators (DGs). The global information (such as the average voltage and output active power of the MG and so on) required by the proposed droop control method to restore the voltage and frequency deviations can be acquired distributedly based on the Multi Agent System (MAS). Simulation studies in PSCAD demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control method.

This paper proposes networked swarm robotic systems with group based control scheme using spring damper impendence feature. The proposed algorithm is applied to keep system arrangement in unexpected situations based on the spring-damper impedance and fuzzy logic. Using the proposed scheme, each robot overcome collision problems efficiently. The structure of UBSR (UMPC Based Swarm Robot) system consists of user level, cognitive level, and executive level. This structure is designed to easily meet the different configuration requirements for other levels. Simulation results show an availability of the proposed method.

An $H_2$ servo controller is proposed for networked control systems. The network-induced delay is assumed to be time-varying and vary in the known range. The proposed controller guarantees stability and $H_2$ performance for all time-varying delay in the known range. The proposed controller is verified using a simple networked motor control system.

As numerous sensors and actuators are used in many automated systems, various industrial networks are adopted for real-time distributed control. In order to take advantages of the networking, however, the network implementation should be carefully designed to satisfy real-time requirements considering network induced delays. This paper presents an implementation scheme of a networked control system via Profibus-DP network fur real-time distributed control. More specifically, the effect of the network induced delay on the control performance is evaluated on a Profibus-DP testbed. Also, two conventional PID gain tuning methods are slightly modified fur fouling controllers fur the networked control system. With appropriate choices for gains, it is shown that the networked control system can perform almost as well as the traditional control system.

This paper examines the use of a wireless Fieldbus based on IEEE 802.15.4 MAC protocol. The superframe of IEEE 802.15.4 is applied to a transmission scheme of real-time mixed data. The transmission and bandwidth allocation scheme are proposed for real-time communication using a superframe. The proposed wireless Fieldbus protocol is able to transmit three types of data (periodic data, sporadic data, and non real-time messages), and guarantee realtime transmission simultaneously within a limited timeframe.

This paper presents a novel control technique to deal with networked control systems with neutral timedelay, which is known to highly degrade the control performance of the controlled system. The stability analysis and design method for a sampled-data fuzzy controller for discrete networked control systems (NCS). The neutral time-delay and sampling activity will complicate the NCS. And it make the stability analysis much more difficult than that for a continuous-time NCS. Based on the fuzzy control approach, linear matrix inequality (LMI)-based stability conditions are derived to guarantee the neutral T-S fuzzy system stability. The simulation results and practical experiments illustrate that the proposed controller design is realistic.

This paper is concerned with the stabilization problem of nonlinear networked control systems with time-delay via Takagi-Sugeno(T-S) fuzzy control approach. The T-S fuzzy models are employed to represent nonlinear systems with Markovian jump parameters and time-delay. The purpose of this paper is to design a fuzzy controller such that the closed-loop Markovian jump fuzzy system is stochastically stable. Based on a stocastic Lyapunov function, stabilization sufficient conditions using a mode-independent fuzzy controller are derived for the Markovian jump fuzzy system in terms of Linear Matrix Inequalities(LMIs). Finally, a simulation example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
