Data-Driven Communication Topology and Distributed Controller Synthesis: Control-Aware and Co-Design
Michael C. A. Nestor, Jiaxin Wang, Fei Teng
In distributed control schemes, the communication topology that defines information sharing between agents must be designed prior to online control execution. Previous data-driven…
Distributed Synthesis of Gray-Box Distributed H2 Controllers
Michael C. A. Nestor, Fei Teng
Distributed controller synthesis offers scalable and privacy-preserving control design, but typical state-of-the-art approaches either assume white-box models or resort to centrali…
Data-driven Communication and Control Design for Distributed Frequency Regulation with Black-box Inverters
Michael Nestor, Jiaxin Wang, Ning Zhang +1
The increasing penetration of inverter-based resources into the power grid, with often only black-box models available, challenges long-standing frequency control methods. Most rec…
Value of Communication: Data-Driven Topology Optimization for Distributed Linear Cyber-Physical Systems
Michael Nestor, Fei Teng
Communication topology is a crucial part of a distributed control implementation for cyber-physical systems, yet is typically treated as a constraint within control design problems…
