Network Realization Functions for Optimal Distributed Control

Abstract

In this paper, we discuss a distributed control architecture, aimed at networks with linear and time-invariant dynamics, which is amenable to convex formulations for controller design. The proposed approach is well suited for large scale systems, since the resulting feedback schemes completely avoid the exchange of internal states, i.e., plant or controller states, among sub-controllers. Additionally, we provide state-space formulas for these sub-controllers, able to be implemented in a distributed manner.
