Design and analysis of a network control structure with a switched PD compensator

The current paper proposes a new network control structure based on a nonlinear network transmission model recently proposed by the authors, a switched PD time delay compensator and a state feedback controller. The design methodology described for the control structure consists in a coupling between analytical tuning methods and numerical optimization methods. The stability is assessed in the framework of switched linear systems through a switched quadratic Lyapunov function. Finally, the results are validated on a numerical example.
