Parameter estimation in time-triggered and event-triggered model-based control of uncertain systems

摘要

In this article on-line parameter estimation of dynamical systems is addressed in the context of model-based networked control systems (MB-NCSs). Stability conditions that are robust to parameter uncertainties and lack of feedback for extended intervals of time are presented. The updated model is used to control the real system the next time feedback information is unavailable. Additionally, new estimation models are proposed that offer better convergence properties than typical state-space parameter estimation methods; common assumptions such as availability of persistently exciting inputs and estimation of only a canonical form of the system are relaxed. The implementation of upgraded models in MB-NCSs results in better usage of the network by allowing longer intervals without the need for measurement updates.
