PID Algorithm for Event-Based Network Control Systems Using Wireless Sensors

This project focuses on the development and implementation of a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control algorithm optimized for event-based networked control systems. The primary goal is to leverage the efficiency of event-based control schemes, which aim to conserve significant communication resources, a crucial aspect in modern systems. The approach addresses limitations found in previous event-based PID implementations, such as the lack of stability proofs or reliance solely on system output for event triggering. The proposed system closes the control loop over the network only when strictly necessary. It comprises a controller system featuring a state-space model of the process, and a sensor system that utilizes an Event Trigger Monitor (ETM) to compare the estimated state against the model state. When the ETM detects a discrepancy, the sensor system and controller are updated with the observer state. The methodology involves an exhaustive state-of-the-art review using databases like ScienceDirect and IEEE Xplorer to establish the concepts to be implemented in the wireless controller, with the ultimate aim of drafting and publishing a scientific article based on the achieved results.<br/><br/><b>Goal</b>: <br/>To develop and implement a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control algorithm tailored for event-based networked control systems, utilizing wireless sensors.<br/><br/><b>Research lines</b>: <br/>Telecommunications and information technologies
