Event-Triggered Control of Networked Control Systems/Cyber-Physical Systems by using Adaptive Dynamic Programming

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Many real-time systems such as smart grid, automotive control systems are implemented as distributed event triggered control systems wherein the control loops are closed through a real-time communication network with limited resources. Such systems are referred to as Network Control Systems(NCS) or Cyber-physical Systems.  The interest for NCS is motivated by many benefits they offer such as the ease of maintenance and installation, large flexibility and the low cost. Adding resource constrained communication network in the feedback control loop, however, brings challenging issues which have to be investigated before the above ‌benefits are harvested. The network imperfections such as time-varying delays, packet losses, quantization, and limited network resources can degrade the performance of control systems and they can even destabilize the system. Therefore, the optimal event triggered controller design of NCS in the presence of event-based sampling has to be investigated.           

Therefore, the goal of this study is to provide time-based online adaptive critic event triggered ADP controllers forward-in-time, without utilizing policy and value iteration, but with adaptation, optimization, and learning for the control of unknown linear and nonlinear NCS, has guaranteed performance, and is supported by a rigorous and repeatable design and mathematical framework.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This effort involves development of monitoring, diagnostics and prognostics algorithms for a class of nonlinear systems.  Both data-driven and model-based schemes are being developed as part of this effort.  Online approximators such as neural networks, artificial immune systems are being considered for approximating the fault dynamics.  Fault accommodation schemes are being designed by controller reconfiguration.
