This paper investigates a new method for consensus in a group of nonlinear complex multi-agent systems using fixed-order non-fragile dynamic output feedback controller, via an LMI approach. The proposed scheme is decentralized in the sense that each agent relies on the relative output information among the adjacent agents. The consensus based controllers are designed to minimize the effects of nonlinear terms of the agents as well as external disturbances. Converting consensus problem to stabilization of an equivalent augmented system using proper transformations, Lyapunov stability theorem is applied to obtain unknown controller parameters in order to guarantee consensus and simultaneously acquire considered control objectives. Finally, to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm and compare with similar earlier researches, a numerical example on a multi-agent system consisting of single link flexible manipulators is carried out.
This paper presents a novel load frequency control (LFC) design using integral-based decentralize fixed-order perturbed dynamic output tracking scheme in a delay dependent nonlinear interconnected multi-area power system via LMI approach. The tracking controller is designed such that the effects of the parameter variations of the plant and dynamic output controller as well as load disturbances are minimized. The inputs and outputs of each controller are local, and these independent controllers are designed such that the robust stability of the overall closed-loop system is guaranteed. Simulation results for both two-and three-area power systems are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed design scheme. The simulation results show that the decentralized controlled system behaves well even when there are large parameter perturbations and unpredictable disturbances on the power system.
