From Gain-Scheduling to Distributed Control
Carsten Scherer, Delft University of Technology
Abstract:
We reconsider a well-known approach to distributed controller synthesis which is based on describing the system interconnections by dissipation constraints. This reduces the design problem to one of gain-scheduled controller synthesis with integral quadratic constraints. All known complete synthesis procedures require the multipliers to be non-dynamic which causes substantial conservatism. In this talk we present our recent efforts towards overcoming this severe limitation.
