Event-triggered distributed average tracking in the presence of external disturbances
摘要
The focus of this paper is on distributed average tracking (DAT) in the context of external disturbances, utilizing an event-triggered control mechanism. First, an event-triggered anti-disturbance DAT (ETAD-DAT) algorithm is proposed to reduce communication load in networked control systems by redesigning existing anti-disturbance DAT algorithms and disturbance observers. Furthermore, a fully distributed event-triggering condition is employed to schedule event times for each agent. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed ETAD-DAT algorithm is able to achieve accurate average tracking of multiple time-varying reference signals despite the presence of external disturbances, while the communication efficiency can be improved obviously.
