This paper studies the event-triggered consensus problem of multi-agent system with general linear dynamics. A novel dynamic event-triggering mechanism (ETM) is proposed, and it is formally shown that the proposed dynamic ETM can achieve larger triggering intervals than the existing ones. Then, a distributed adaptive control protocol is developed with the updating law of coupling strength. With the proposed adaptive control protocol and dynamic ETM, the event-triggered consensus control protocol can be implemented in a fully distributed way. Moreover, Zeno behavior can be ensured to be excluded, and an algorithm is developed such that the implementation of the proposed consensus control protocol does not need continuous communication between neighboring agents. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed methods is illustrated by a numerical example.
The microbial fuel cell is one of the most important tools in the supply of renewable energy and its controller plays an important role in improving the performance and stability of its output. Using the advantages of adaptive and sliding mode methods, this paper presents a combined technique to ensure the stability and output voltage stabilization of the fuel cell in the presence of parametric uncertainties and nonlinear terms. The proposed control method is compared with classical control approaches and the simulation results confirm its efficiency.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
