Stability Analysis for Amplidyne Electrical Systems with Time-Varying Delay via a Negative-Determination Quadratic Function Lemma

In this paper, the stability of Amplidyne Electrical Systems (AESs) with a time-varying delay is studied. Firstly, the model of AESs with a time-varying delay is established. Secondly, an augmented Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) is constructed. Then, a less conservative delay-dependent stability criterion for AESs with a time-varying delay is obtained by utilizing the generalized reciprocally convex combination and an advanced negative-determination quadratic function lemma. Finally, the superiority and effectiveness of the proposed criterion is verified by a numerical example.
