This article aims to derive new sufficient conditions to guarantee the stability of piecewise affine systems with time-varying delay (PWA-TVD). The set of delay-dependent linear matrix inequality (LMI) describes the novel stability criteria. This approach considers the PWA-TVD system with a time-delayed state-dependent switching signal. The newly suggested Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (L-K-F) and improved estimation of its derivative have a crucial role in decreasing the complexity and conservatism of the proposed stability results. The suggested L-K-F belongs to the current and time-delayed states, the integral of the states over the time-varying delay, and time derivation of the states. A new inequality was used to obtain an upper bound (UB) for the time derivation of the Lyapunov functional. Then based on this UB, less conservative results are achieved. The theoretical results are applied to the numerical examples. The results confirm the effectiveness of the presented method. The conservative index is the maximum admissible UB of time delay.

A hybrid AC-DC microgrid consists of an AC and a DC subgrid that are connected to each other through an interlinking converter (IC). The main function of an IC under islanded conditions is to transfer power between the two subgrids. In this paper, a scheme is presented to reduce the voltage unbalance factor in a hybrid AC-DC microgrid by using the free capacity of the IC. The free capacity of this converter is determined based on the current passing through each leg, and the amount of voltage unbalance compensation on the AC side of the microgrid is then obtained. The reference current of voltage unbalance compensation is calculated by using the positive, negative, and zero sequence components of the voltage of IC terminals. The total reference current is obtained by adding the reference current of voltage unbalance compensation and the current calculated for power transfer. Furthermore, a proportional-resonant (PR) controller is used in the control system of the four-leg inverter. Therefore, the reference current is properly tracked by the power stage of the inverter. Simulation results verify the accuracy of the proposed scheme under different conditions.

This paper presents a robust decentralized model predictive control scheme for a class of discrete-time interconnected systems subject to state and input constraints. Each subsystem is composed of a nominal LTI part and an additive time-varying perturbation function which presents the interconnections and is generally uncertain and nonlinear, but it satisfies a quadratic bound. Using the dual-mode MPC stability theory and Lyapunov theory for discrete-time systems, a sufficient condition is constructed for synthesizing the decentralized MPC’s stabilizing components; i.e. the local terminal cost function and the corresponding terminal set. To guarantee robust asymptotic stability, sufficient conditions for designing MPC stabilizing components are characterized in the form of an LMI optimization problem. The proposed control approach is applied to a system composed of five coupled inverted pendulums, which is a typical interconnected system, in a decentralized fashion. Simulation results show that the proposed robust MPC scheme is quite effective and has a remarkable performance.
