Distributed State Estimation

In this work, we consider output-feedback distributed model predictive control (DMPC) based on distributed state estimation with bounded process disturbances and output measurement noise. Specifically, a state estimation scheme based on observer-enhanced distributed moving horizon estimation (DMHE) is considered for distributed state estimation purposes. The observer-enhanced DMHE ensures that the state estimates of the system reach a small neighborhood of the actual state values quickly and then maintain within the neighborhood. This implies that the estimation error is bounded. Based on the state estimates provided by the DMHE, a DMPC algorithm is developed based on Lyapunov techniques. In the proposed design, the DMHE and the DMPC are evaluated synchronously every sampling time. The proposed output DMPC is applied to a simulated chemical process and the simulation results show the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed distributed estimation and control approach.

Following the current technological development and informational advancement, more and more physical systems have become interconnected and linked via communication networks. The objective of this work is the development of a Coalitional Distributed Model Predictive Control (C- DMPC) strategy suitable for controlling cyber-physical, multi-agent systems. The motivation behind this endeavour is to design a novel algorithm with a flexible control architecture by combining the advantages of classical DMPC with Coalitional MPC. The simulation results were achieved using a test scenario composed of four dynamically coupled sub-systems, connected through an unidirectional communication topology. The obtained results illustrate that, when the feasibility of the local optimization problem is lost, forming a coalition between neighbouring agents solves this shortcoming and maintains the functionality of the entire system. These findings successfully prove the efficiency and performance of the proposed coalitional DMPC method.
