A passivity-based approach to reset control systems stability

The stability of reset control systems has been mainly studied for the feedback interconnection of reset compensators with linear time-invariant systems. This work gives a stability analysis of reset compensators in feedback interconnection with passive nonlinear systems. The results are based on the passivity approach to L2-stability for feedback systems with exogenous inputs, and the fact that a reset compensator will be passive if its base compensator is passive. Several examples of full and partial reset compensations are analyzed, and a detailed case study of an in-line pH control system is given.
