Networked reset control systems with discrete time-varying delays

This work investigates the design of reset control systems with reset actions at fixed reset instants, and their application to a class of Networked Control Systems. The reset law is simplified for the reset instants to be periodic, but on the other hand a key idea is the use of a variable reset value at each instant that minimizes the error between consecutive reset actions. Stability conditions under variable network delays will be given for these systems. Simulation results show that the proposed reset compensator may overcome fundamental limitations of linear compensation.
