Kurzbeschreibung

This text provides various analysis and design techniques for decentralized control of large-scale systems. It contains a systematic study of multi-input, multi-output systems with a special focus on industrial applications.

Beschreibung

Large-scale system refers to a system that consists of several interconnected subsystems. In large-scale systems it is often desired to have some form of decentralization in control structure. In fact, for such systems it is not realistic to assume that all output measurements can be transmitted to every local control station. Problems of this kind appear for example in electric power systems, communication networks, large space structures, robotic systems, economic systems and traffic networks, to name only a few. Typical large-scale control systems have several local control stations which observe only local outputs and control only local outputs. All controllers are involved, however, in the control operation of the overall system.
Decentralized Control of Large-Scale Systems provides various analysis and design techniques for decentralized control of large-scale systems. A systematic study of multi-input, muti-output systems with a special focus on industrial applications is given.

Klappentext

A large-scale system is composed of several interconnected subsystems. For such a system it is often desired to have some form of decentralization in the control structure, since it is typically not realistic to assume that all output measurements can be transmitted to every local control station. Problems of this kind can appear in electric power systems, communication networks, large space structures, robotic systems, economic systems, and traffic networks, to name only a few. Typical large-scale control systems have several local control stations which observe only local outputs and control only local inputs. All controllers are involved, however, in the control operation of the overall system. The focus of this book is on the efficient control of interconnected systems, and it presents systems analysis and controller synthesis techniques using a variety of methods. A systematic study of multi-input, multi-output systems is carried out and illustrative examples are given to clarify the ideas.
