This study investigates the problem of event-triggered output consensus disturbance rejection for multi-agent systems subject to time-varying disturbances. By virtue of the reduced-order generalized proportional-integral observer (GPIO) technique, a new output consensus disturbance rejection protocol is developed based on the measurement outputs. Taking the limited communication bandwidth into account, the multi-agent system closes the loop under the proposed consensus protocol only when a distributed event-triggering mechanism decides to transmit agent's current output to its neighbors. The proposed output consensus protocol can effectively enhance the robustness against the time-varying disturbances and save the communication resource, since the time-varying disturbances are accurately estimated and compensated. Furthermore, the proposed consensus algorithm does not require continuous communication among the neighboring agents and can successfully avoid the Zeno phenomenon. Finally, the numerical simulation results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed output consensus protocol.
