PID Control and PI State Estimation for Complex Networked Systems

This book explores PID control and PI state estimation for complex networked systems facing network-enhanced challenges including fading measurements, time-delays, packet dropouts, and cyber-attacks including PID control problems, PI state estimation and neural networks.

It addresses output-feedback control, observer-based control, tracking control, and state estimation across different network conditions, implementing solutions for resource constraints, outlier resistance, and partial measurement scenarios using MATLAB simulations.

Key features

• Presents systematic research on the PID control problem based on the state space method for networked systems
• Contains everything needed to capture the essence of design and performance evaluation for PID controllers and PI estimators
• Covers security aspects of encoded transmissions, encompassing encryption protocols and cyber-physical attack resilience
• Addresses issues such as network-induced complexities, cybersecurity threats, and adaptive control strategies
• Emphasizes flexible, reliable, and practical solutions for real-world systems, bridging theoretical rigor with engineering applications

This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in control science and engineering, signal processing, and computer science.
