Summary on Grant Application Form |

The proposed research is intended to investigate a distributed control methodology for the co-ordinated control of large-scale non-linear time-varying dynamical systems. The methodology would be developed for design of distributed controllers that employ a minimum number of local measurements for the control of local dynamics with estimation of system nonlinearities and perturbations to co-ordinate global system performance. The problem has been formulated from a wide range of applications in complex interconnected industrial systems, such as power systems, energy utilities, joint action robots and large-scale electronics devices, where there exists complex system structure difficult to mould, time-varying characteristics and unpredictable disturbances, strong nonlinearities which degrade control performance, local dynamics (Subsystems) interacting each other and limited number of measurable local states (in particular avoiding use of remote states) for control implementation. The project aims to (1) investigate system de-coupling by devising fictitious states for estimation of interacted nonlinearities of subsystems; (2) study boundary conditions on states and nonlinearities for stability assessment; (3) investigate co-ordination of local controllers contributing to global system performance. The application work will be concerned with the control of FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission System) devices in power system.
