Robust distributed model predictive control

Richards, A., How, J. P.·2007·International Journal of Control

Abstract

This paper presents a formulation for distributed model predictive control (DMPC) of systems with coupled constraints. The approach divides the single large planning optimization into smaller sub-problems, each planning only for the controls of a particular subsystem. Relevant plan data is communicated between sub-problems to ensure that all decisions satisfy the coupled constraints. The new algorithm guarantees that all optimizations remain feasible, that the coupled constraints will be satisfied, and that each subsystem will converge to its target, despite the action of unknown but bounded disturbances. Simulation results are presented showing that the new algorithm offers significant reductions in computation time for only a small degradation in performance in comparison with centralized MPC.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
