Control Design and Performance Evaluation for a class of Switched Systems

混合动力系统的行为可以用基于事件的逻辑和微分或差分方程的混合来描述，已经引起了极大的兴趣。切换系统通常出现在混合动力系统的上下文中，当可以通过微分或差分方程描述每个模式中的行为时，基于事件的转换为不连续切换。具有不连续特性的控制器设计具有常规设计方法无法实现的巨大潜力。本研究计画探讨不连续切换之控制设计技术。所提出的设计技术的有效性进行评估，通过应用到网络控制系统和无线传感器网络的能量有效控制问题。

Hybrid dynamical systems whose behavior can be described using mixture of event-based logic and differential or difference equations have been attracting significant interest. Switched systems typically arise in the context of hybrid dynamical systems when it is possible to describe the behavior in each mode through a differential or difference equation and the event-based transitions as discontinuous switchings. Control design with discontinuous characteristics has significant potential that can not be achieved by ordinal design technique. This research project discusses control design techniques with discontinuous switchings. The effectiveness of the proposed design techniques is evaluated through applications to networked control systems and an energy efficient control problem of wireless sensor networks.
