Event-triggered networked cascade control systems design subject to hybrid attacks

This paper deals with the design problem of networked cascade control systems (NCCSs) with two different event-triggered mechanisms (ETMs) for the feedback loops. A combination of stochastic denial-of-service (DoS) attack and deception attack has been considered for the communication network. To comply with the practical point of view, the primary and the secondary systems have been considered with distinct disturbances. First, the closed-loop system with state feedback controllers is provided in a unified stochastic delayed system. Then, the Lyapunov-Krasovskii stability theory and stochastic analysis techniques are employed to derive and formulate H infinity$$ {\mathcal{H}}_{\infty } $$ control design conditions in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, a superheater steam temperature control is utilized to assess the applicability of the proposed method.

This paper addresses the design problem of networked cascade control systems with two different event-triggered mechanisms for the feedback loops, considering a combination of stochastic denial-of-service attack and deception attack in the communication network. The stability theory and stochastic analysis techniques are employed to derive and formulate H infinity control design conditions in terms of linear matrix inequalities. The proposed method is evaluated using a superheater steam temperature control.
