State Feedback Control Based Networked Control System Design with Differential Evolution Algorithm

This paper will propose the state feedback control based networked control system (NCS) design with the differential evolution algorithm. For designing a networked control system, one has to overcome the problems about the random latency and the data packet dropouts. Here, we will apply the state feedback control theory to design a controller to overcome the random latency and the data packet dropouts of NCS and guarantee the stability of the overall system. To improve the control performance, the differential evolution algorithm (DE) is applied to search the optimal control parameters. In this way, one can design NCS more effectively and without need to solve a complex Lyapunov-Krasovskii stability criterion. Finally, computer simulations are given to demonstrate the proposed control strategy and to illustrate its effectiveness.
