Routing in Cyber Physical Systems with Application for Voltage Control in Microgrids: A Hybrid System Approach

A key challenge of cyber physical system is how to design the communication system. In this paper, the framework of hybrid system which consists of both continuous and discrete system states is adopted for the communication system design, particularly on the routing problem. The mapping between the routing scheme and the system dynamics mode is established by analyzing the impact of delay on the system dynamics. A heuristic algorithm is then proposed to choose the set of routing schemes, based on a sufficient condition of the stability of hybrid systems. The proposed approach is then applied in the voltage control of distributed energy generations in microgrids, whose validity is demonstrated by numerical simulations.
