In this paper, platoons of autonomous vehicles in urban road networks are considered. From a methodological point of view, the problem consists in characterizing vehicle state trajectory tubes by means of routing decisions complying with traffic congestion criteria. To this end, a novel distributedcontrol architecture is conceived by taking advantage of two methodologies: the routing decisions are obtained by using a distributed reinforcement learning algorithm that exploits available traffic data and a bank of modelpredictivecontrollers is in charge of computing the more adequate control action for each involved vehicle.

The development and application of distributed economic modelpredictivecontrol (DEMPC) methodologies to a catalytic reactor is considered. Two DEMPC methodologies are designed for sequential and iterative implementation, respectively. The DEMPC architectures are evaluated on the basis of the closed-loop performance and on-line computation time requirements compared to a centralized EMPC approach. For the catalytic reactor considered, DEMPC proves to be a viable option as it is able to give similar closed-loop performance while reducing the on-line computation time requirements relative to a centralized EMPC strategy.

A method to ensure recursive feasibility and asymptotic stability for a distributed model predictive control scheme in case of temporary communication failure is presented. The considered networks are made up of dynamically uncoupled nonlinear systems, coupled through constraints and objectives. The proposed method substitutes affected coupling constraints in such a way that the scheme can not become infeasible, while a decrease in the cost is guaranteed.

This paper studies the distributed event-triggered modelpredictivecontrol (DMPC) problem of coupled nonlinear systems with constraints. A novel event-triggered DMPC algorithm is proposed by designing a distributed event-triggering strategy and inventing a constraint that restricts the discrepancy between each subsystem's assumed and predicted states. With the designed triggering rule and constraint, the mutual disturbances caused by dynamical coupling are proved to be bounded, and the Zeno behavior is avoided. In addition, the suffcient conditions ensuring algorithm feasibility and closed-loop stability are provided. Finally, simulation studies are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

详细信息
This paper presents a weight tuning technique for iterative distributed model predictive control (MPC). Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) is used to optimise both the weights associated with disturbance rejection and those associated with achieving consensus between control agents. Unlike centralised MPC, where tuning focuses solely on disturbance rejection performance, iterative distributed MPC practitioners must concern themselves with the trade off between disturbance rejection and the overall communication overhead when tuning weights. This is particularly the case in large scale systems, such as power networks, where typically there will be a large communication overhead associated with control. In this paper a method for simultaneously optimising both the closed loop performance and minimising the communications overhead of iterative distributed MPC systems is proposed. Simulation experiments illustrate the potential of the proposed approach in two different power system scenarios. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A distributed model predictive control (DMPC) approach based on distributed optimization is applied to the power reference tracking problem of a hydro power valley (HPV) system. The applied optimization algorithm is based on accelerated gradient methods and achieves a convergence rate of O(1/k(2)), where k is the iteration number. Major challenges in the control of the HPV include a nonlinear and large-scale model, nonsmoothness in the power-production functions, and a globally coupled cost function that prevents distributed schemes to be applied directly. We propose a linearization and approximation approach that accommodates the proposed the DMPC framework and provides very similar performance compared to a centralized solution in simulations. The provided numerical studies also suggest that for the sparsely interconnected system at hand, the distributed algorithm we propose is faster than a centralized state-of-the-art solver such as CPLEX.

For intermittent actuator faults of large-scale system, a cooperative distributed fault-tolerant modelpredictivecontrol (DFTMPC) is presented. The actuator plug and play strategy is adopted in the interconnected systems with physical coupling making fault estimation and controller redesign unnecessary. The actuator plug and play process is modeled as a distributed switching model, and there a theoretical stability analysis is provided with switching form of modelpredictivecontrol (MPC) cost functions. The novel cooperative distributed fault-tolerant performance index is raised in a global view for distributed model predictive control. A simulation example is taken to show the electiveness of the proposed method. (C) 2019 ISA. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

This paper presents a distributed model predictive control algorithm for a discrete linear time-invariant system that involves a cooperative game approach. It is assumed that this system consists of several subsystems which are connected through inputs. The subsystems are updated one by one in a sequential manner. Once a subsystem is completed its optimization, its optimal input is shared with the next interconnected subsystem. The process of synthesizing the optimal control for each subsystem involves the computation of disagreement points for each subsystem by employing a feasible cooperation approach. Meanwhile, in the negotiation process, the subsystem can validate whether or not it should cooperate at each time step. The feasibility of the proposed approach at each iteration and time step is proven. Furthermore, the stability of the proposed method is investigated by using the convexity of the cost function. Finally, the proposed method is applied to a canal irrigation system.

We propose a distributed output-feedback modelpredictivecontrol approach for achieving consensus among multiple agents. Each agent computes a distributedcontrol action based on an output-feedback measurement of a local neighborhood tracking error and communicates information only to its neighbors, according to a communication network modeled as a directed graph. Each agent computes its distributedcontrol action by solving a local min-max optimization problem that simultaneously computes a local state estimate and control input under worst-case assumptions on unmeasured input disturbances and measurement noise. Under easily verified controllability and observability assumptions, this distributed output-feedback modelpredictivecontrol approach provides an upper bound on the group consensus error, thereby ensuring practical consensus in the presence of unmeasured disturbances and noise. A numerical example with four agents connected in a directed graph is given to illustrate the results. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

In this paper, sequential nonlinear distributed model predictive control (DMPC) algorithms for large-scale systems that can handle constraints are proposed. The proposed algorithms are based on nonlinear MPC strategy, which uses a state-dependent nonlinear model to avoid the complexity of the nonlinear programming (NLP) problem. In this distributed framework, local MPCs solve convex optimization problem and exchange information via one directional communication channel at each sampling time to achieve the global control objectives of the system. Numerical simulation results show that the performance of the proposed DMPC algorithms is close to the centralized NMPC but computationally more efficient compared to the centralized one.
