Decentralized Static Output Feedback Controller Design for Large Scale Switched T-S Systems
This paper investigates the design of decentralized output-feedback controllers for a class of a large scale switched nonlinear systems under arbitrary switching laws. A global large scale switched system can be split into a set of smaller interconnected switched Takagi Sugeno fuzzy subsystems. Then, in order to stabilize the overall closed-loop system, a set of switched non-PDC static output controllers is employed. The latter is designed based on Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) conditions obtained from a multiple switched non quadratic-like Lyapunov candidate function. The controllers proposed herein are synthesized to satisfy $H_\infty$ performance for disturbance attenuation. Finally, a numerical example is proposed to illustrate the effectiveness of the suggested decentralized switched controller design approach.
