An event-triggered model predictive control with exponentially stable offset free for PWA systems with model-plant mismatch

Abstract A new event-triggered model predictive control (MPC) method is proposed for PWA systems with model-plant mismatch, such that, for a given asymptotically constant reference signal, exponential stability and unbiased tracking can be achieved. Firstly, for the PWA system, an observer is designed to estimate state and the model-plant mismatch. To guarantee the exponential stability, an event is introduced, and an event-triggered model predictive controller is designed as well. By introducing state error and estimate error, an augmented model is constructed. Then, using the model-dependent average dwell time (MDADT) method and Lyapunov stability theory, exponentially stable condition of the closed-loop system is derived, which is formulated by linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), and zero offset is also guaranteed under some mild assumptions. Moreover, the MDADT of each sub-system is given simultaneously. Finally, simulations have been taken to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
