ABSTRACT
Network-induced delay often happens in networked cyber-physical systems. It is well known that such delays may lead to unsatisfactory performance, or instability. This chapter considers the renewable energy sources as the distributed connection to the common bus in a microgrid. They communicate with each other by using networks. Network-induced delays in local and interconnection are investigated, and some results for solving the stability analysis and control synthesis problems are proposed. The chapter proposes a model transformation to convert the closed-loop fuzzy control system into an interconnected formulation, such that the problem of decentralized dynamic output feedback H∞ control can be tackled by using IO stability. The IO approach proposed benefits from the application of the scaled small gain (SSG) theorem. The chapter reviews some essential ideas on the SSG theorem.
