Introduction

Most large-scale systems consist of networks of


interconnected/interacting subsystems
Chemical plants, water distribution networks, power grids etc.

Traditional approach: Decentralized control


Wealth of literature from the early 1970’s on improved decentralized
control (Sandell-Jr. et al. [1978], Siljak [1991], Lunze [1992])
Well-known that poor performance may result if the interconnections
are not negligible

Rawlings, Venkat and Wright (Wisconsin) Distributed, Large-scale MPC 2005 NMPC Workshop 3 / 39
Introduction

Steady increase in available computational power has provided the


opportunity for centralized control
Most practitioners view centralized control of large, networked
systems as impractical and unrealistic
Centralized control law grows exponentially with system size
Difficult to tailor a centralized controller to meet operational objectives
A divide and conquer strategy is essential for control of large,
networked systems (Ho [2005])
Centralized control: A benchmark control framework for comparing
and assessing other control formulations

Rawlings, Venkat and Wright (Wisconsin) Distributed, Large-scale MPC 2005 NMPC Workshop 4 / 39
Introduction

Linear MPC
Mid-Late 90’s: Linear MPC became a dominant advanced control
technology (Morari and Lee [1997], Young et al. [2001], Qin and
Badgwell [2003])
Properties of centralized linear MPCs well established (Sznaier and
Damborg [1990], Rawlings and Muske [1993], Mayne et al. [2000],
Bemporad et al. [2002])
Efficient large-scale solution strategies available (Antwerp and Braatz
[2000], Bartlett et al. [2002])

Current focus
Possibility of horizontal integration of subsystems’ MPCs to improve
overall system performance

Rawlings, Venkat and Wright (Wisconsin) Distributed, Large-scale MPC 2005 NMPC Workshop 5 / 39
Introduction

Integrating subsystem-based MPCs


Notion of Nash equilibrium and Pareto optimality in multi-agent
games (Li and Başar [1987], Cohen [1998], Başar and Olsder [1999])
Distributed optimization algorithms (Bertsekas and Tsitsiklis [1989])
Potential benefits and requirements of cross-integration within the
MPC framework (Kulhavý et al. [2001], Lu [2003])
Available discrete time distributed MPC formulations in the literature
(Camponogara et al. [2002], Jia and Krogh [2002], Keviczky et al.
[2004])
Nominal properties (feasibility, optimality, closed-loop stability) have
not all been established for any single distributed MPC framework

Conclusions

The explicit model and prediction horizon of MPC provide a wealth of


opportunities for integrating unit level MPCs.
In this talk we used communication and cooperation to achieve
distributed control that approaches the performance of centralized
optimal control while maintaining the unit control structure.

Rawlings, Venkat and Wright (Wisconsin) Distributed, Large-scale MPC 2005 NMPC Workshop 33 / 39
Conclusions

The explicit model and prediction horizon of MPC provide a wealth of


opportunities for integrating unit level MPCs.
In this talk we used communication and cooperation to achieve
distributed control that approaches the performance of centralized
optimal control while maintaining the unit control structure.
Intermediate termination of the cooperation control law retains
nominal closed-loop stability and robustness to disturbances.

Conclusions

The explicit model and prediction horizon of MPC provide a wealth of

In this talk we used communication and cooperation to achieve
distributed control that approaches the performance of centralized

Intermediate termination of the cooperation control law retains
nominal closed-loop stability and robustness to disturbances.
Structured cooperation (modular control) is also transparently
implemented, but its general closed-loop properties remain unclear.
