Event-triggered stabilization for large-scale interconnected systems with time delays

This article addresses the event-triggered stabilization for large-scale interconnected systems in presence of time delays. Two types of event-triggering mechanisms (static event-triggering mechanism and dynamic event-triggering mechanism) are constructed. For each case, event-triggered predictor-based controller is designed to compensate time delays by using backstepping method. Via Lyapunov approach, constructive exponential stability conditions are established in the framework of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). A numerical simulation example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
