Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a rigorous framework in which to study problems in the analysis, stability and design of networked control systems. Four dominant sources of difficulty are considered: packet dropouts, communication bandwidth constraints, parametric uncertainty, and time delays. Past methods and results are reviewed from a contemporary perspective, present trends are examined, and future possibilities proposed. Emphasis is placed on robust and reliable design methods. New control strategies for improving the efficiency of sensor data processing and reducing associated time delay are presented. The coverage provided features: · an overall assessment of recent and current fault-tolerant control algorithms; · treatment of several issues arising at the junction of control and communications; · key concepts followed by their proofs and efficient computational methods for their implementation; and · simulation examples (including TrueTime simulations) to provide hands-on experience. In addition to the theoretical coverage, the author describes a number of applications that demonstrate the real-world relevance of this material, and these include: · a servo system; · a triple inverted pendulum; · power system control; · wireless control of a cart with inverted pendulum and wireless servo application with emphasis on controller area networks; and · switched ethernet and wireless area networks. Researchers and graduate students working in networked and distributed control will find this text a useful guide in avoiding and ameliorating common and serious problems with these systems. The increasing prevalence of networks in many fields of engineering will make Control and Estimation Methods over Communication Networks of interest to practitioners with backgrounds in communications, process engineering, robotics, power, automotive and other areas.

Download or read book Estimation and Control in Energy Harvesting Wireless Communication Networks written by Miguel Calvo Fullana and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long thought to be an unattainable ambition, self-sustainable and green-powered wireless networks are rapidly becoming a reality. This is driven by recent hardware improvements in what is known as Energy Harvesting (EH). This technology makes it possible for devices to scavenge energy from the environment, be it from solar, thermal, kinetic or other sources. One area where this idea has shown considerable promise is in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). These networks consist of inexpensive, small and low-power sensors, making them a prime candidate for the deployment of energy harvesting technologies. However, when devices are equipped with these new technologies, the intermittent and random nature of the energy supply makes it necessary to take a new approach to the design of communication policies. It is the main objective of this dissertation to study, evaluate and solve problems that arise in wireless sensor networks with energy harvesting capabilities. The nature of the problems studied can be grouped into two categories. On one hand, we address problems of estimation, which arise when EH sensors collect measurements of some physical phenomenon. On the other hand, we study problems of control, which emerge when EH sensors are part of a dynamical system. First, we address the estimation problem in EH-powered wireless sensor networks. We approach the problem in a coded manner, where sensors transit their measurements to a Fusion Center (FC) digitally. We consider a point-to-point sensor-to-FC communication scenario, where the measured sources are time-correlated. We derive the transmission policies minimizing the average reconstruction distortion for both delay-constrained and delay-tolerant scenarios. Next, we study the case in which multiple sensors collaborate in the estimation of a source. In this problem, only a limited number of sensors can transmit simultaneously, due to the reduced number of sensor-to-FC channels. The goal is to jointly design the power allocation and sensor selection policies that minimize the average reconstruction distortion. However, this problem is not convex. To overcome this, we propose two policies, an iterative joint policy that finds a stationary solution of the original problem; and a heuristic separate policy in which the optimal power allocation is given by a convex optimization problem. Both policies are related to each other in the fact that the latter can be used as an initialization point of the former iterative policy. Further, as an alternative approach to the problem, we have also proposed the use of sparsity-promoting techniques. Then, we turn our attention to problems of a control nature in energy harvesting communication networks. First, we study the problem of jointly routing and scheduling traffic in a communication network with EH-powered nodes. The routing-scheduling policies proposed act as a generalization the stochastic backpressure policies to energy harvesting communication networks. Specifically, we provide two policies, an easy to compute policy and a randomized policy with improved stability guarantees. Furthermore, we ensure that given sustainable data and energy arrivals, the proposed policies stabilize the data queues over all the network. Finally, we study a more general control problem in which energy harvesting sensors share a wireless medium over which they transmit measurements to their respective controllers. Since the medium is shared, simultaneous transmissions might lead to packet collisions. To overcome this issue, we propose the use of a random access scheduling policy. Furthermore, we show that given sustainable energy and stability requirements, the policies stabilize all the control systems while satisfying the energy harvesting constraints.

This book was released on 2009-09-02 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paradigm of complexity is pervading both science and engineering, le- ing to the emergence of novel approaches oriented at the development of a systemic view of the phenomena under study; the de?nition of powerful tools for modelling, estimation, and control; and the cross-fertilization of di?erent disciplines and approaches. One of the most promising paradigms to cope with complexity is that of networked systems. Complex, dynamical networks are powerful tools to model, estimate, and control many interesting phenomena, like agent coordination, synch- nization, social and economics events, networks of critical infrastructures, resourcesallocation,informationprocessing,controlovercommunicationn- works, etc. Advances in this ?eld are highlighting approaches that are more and more oftenbasedondynamicalandtime-varyingnetworks,i.e.networksconsisting of dynamical nodes with links that can change over time. Moreover, recent technological advances in wireless communication and decreasing cost and size of electronic devices are promoting the appearance of large inexpensive interconnected systems, each with computational, sensing and mobile ca- bilities. This is fostering the development of many engineering applications, which exploit the availability of these systems of systems to monitor and control very large-scale phenomena with ?ne resolution.

Download or read book Optimal Control of Energy Resources for State Estimation Over Wireless Channels written by Alex S. Leong and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-16 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This brief introduces wireless communications ideas and techniques into the study of networked control systems. It focuses on state estimation problems in which sensor measurements (or related quantities) are transmitted over wireless links to a central observer. Wireless communications techniques are used for energy resource management in order to improve the performance of the estimator when transmission occurs over packet dropping links, taking energy use into account explicitly in Kalman filtering and control. The brief allows a reduction in the conservatism of control designs by taking advantage of the assumed. The brief shows how energy-harvesting-based rechargeable batteries or storage devices can offer significant advantages in the deployment of large-scale wireless sensor and actuator networks by avoiding the cost-prohibitive task of battery replacement and allowing self-sustaining sensor to be operation. In contrast with research on energy harvesting largely focused on resource allocation for wireless communication systems design, this brief optimizes estimation objectives such as minimizing the expected estimation error covariance. The resulting power control problems are often stochastic control problems which take into account both system and channel dynamics. The authors show how to pose and solve such design problems using dynamic programming techniques. Researchers and graduate students studying networked control systems will find this brief a helpful source of new ideas and research approaches.

Download or read book Control over Communication Networks written by Jianying Zheng and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-05-03 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Control over Communication Networks Advanced and systematic examination of the design and analysis of networked control systems and multi-agent systems Control Over Communication Networks provides a systematic and nearly self-contained description of the analysis and design of networked control systems (NCSs) and multi-agent systems (MASs) over imperfect communication networks, with a primary focus on fading channels and delayed channels. The text characterizes the effect of communication channels on the stability and performance of NCSs, and further studies the joint impact of communication channels and network topology on the consensus of MASs. By integrating communication and control theory, the four highly-qualified authors present fundamental results concerning the stabilization of NCSs over power-constrained fading channels and Gaussian finite-state Markov channels, linear-quadratic optimal control of NCSs with random input gains, optimal state estimation with intermittent observations, consensus of MASs with communication delay and packet dropouts, and synchronization of delayed Vicsek models. Simulation results are given in each chapter to demonstrate the developed analysis and synthesis approaches. The references are comprehensive and up-to-date, enabling further study for readers. Topics covered in Control Over Communication Networks include: Basic foundational knowledge, including control theory, communication theory, and graph theory, to enable readers to understand more complex topics The stabilization, optimal control, and remote state estimation problems of linear systems over channels with fading, signal-to-noise constraints, or intermittent measurements Consensus problems of MASs over fading/delayed channels, with directed and undirected communication graphs Control Over Communication Networks provides a valuable unified platform for understanding the analysis and design of NCSs and MASs for researchers, control engineers working on control systems over communication networks, and mechanical engineers working on unmanned systems. Preliminary knowledge of linear system theory and matrix analysis is required.
