The present study examines an efficient congestion management system compatible with the evolving environment. The key is to build an information model shared and exchanged for marketbased solutions to alleviate congestion. Traditional methods for congestion management can be classified into two categories, i.e., the centralized scheme and the decentralized scheme, depending on the extent to which the independent system operator (ISO) is involved in market participants' (MPs) activities. Although the centralized scheme is more appropriate for providing reliable system operation and relieving congestion in near real-time, the decentralized scheme is preferred for supporting efficient market operation. The minimum set of information between the ISO and MPs for decentralized scheme is identified: i) congestion-based zone, ii) Power Transfer Distribution Factors, and iii) transmission congestion cost. The mathematical modeling of the proposed information is expressed, considering its process of making effective use of information. Numerical analysis is conducted to demonstrate both cost minimization from the MP perspective and the reliability enhancement from the ISO perspective based on the proposed information exchange scheme.

Considerable achievements in developing structural regulators as an important method for vibration control have been made over the last few decades. The use of large quantities of cables in traditional wired control systems to connect sensors, controllers, and actuators makes the structural regulators complicated and expensive. A wireless decentralized control experimental platform based on Wi-Fi unit is designed and implemented in this study. Centralized and decentralized control strategies as sample controllers are employed in this control system. An optimal control algorithm based on Kalman estimator is embedded in the dSPACE controller and the DSP controller. To examine the performance of this control scheme, a three-story steel structure is developed with active mass dampers installed on each floor as the wireless communication platform. Experimental results show that the wireless decentralized control exhibits good control performance and has various potential applications in industrial control systems. The proposed experimental system may become a benchmark platform for the validation of the corresponding wireless control algorithm.

We consider a class of large-scale interconnected time delay systems and investigate a decentralized robust passive control problem. sufficient conditions for unforced interconnected uncertain systems with time delay to be robustly stable with extended strictly passivity is given in terms of algebraic Riccati inequality and linear matrix inequality. The decentralized robust passive control problem for norm-bounded and positive real uncertainty is shown to be converted to extended strictly positive real control problem for a modified system which contains neither time delay nor uncertainty.

This paper presents a decentralized adaptive controller design for a robot manipulator to track the given desired trajectory in the joint space. The controller is of distributed structure and does not require the complex manipulator dynamic model, thereby it is computationally very efficient. Each joint is independently controlled by a PID feedback part and a velocity-acceleration feedforward part. Simulation results for a two-link direct drive manipulator conform that the proposed decentralized scheme is feasible.

In this paper, a family of decentralized adaptive controller is proposed to control robot manipulators which are governed by highly nonlinear dynamic equations. The controller is computationally efficient since it does not require mathematical model or parameter values of the manipulators. The stability of the manipulators with the controller is proved by Lyapunov theory. The results of numerical simulations show that the system is stable, and has excellent trajectory tracking performance.

We study the decentralized stabilization problem of linear time-invariant large-scale interconnected systems with delays without any system structure. We obtain sufficient stability conditions for interconnected systems which are equivalent to disturbance attenuation of some scaled system. A decentralized output-feedback controller is obtained using standard H$\infty$ control theory. The obtained controller is delay-independent. We also obtain an observer for the interconnected system.

This paper presents a decentralized input-output feedback linearizing controller for a multi-machine power system. Firstly, the controller is designed using input-output feedback linearization for modified outputs. Then we present a guideline for selecting gains of the controller and parameters in the modified outputs. Simulations illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme and the selection guideline.

This paper presents design criteria of an overlapping decentralized controller by investigating the controllability and closed loop stability of the expanded system. To determine the criteria we classify the overlapping decentralized controller into an overlapping expanded controller and a contractible controller. It is shown that conditions of system expansion to design these controllers are differently used. The overlapping expanded controller needs the aggregation conditions due to the importance of a structure of the expanded system. The contractible controller which intends to use in the original space needs the restriction because of stability of the original system.

This paper presents the robust control of robot manipulators using a decentralized control scheme. The control scheme decouples the coupling dynamics between the joints and compensates the joint variable errors without any computation of the dynamics. The performance of the control scheme is compared with that of other control schemes such as the computed torque scheme and the adaptive control scheme by simulation.

An LMI based method to construct a decentralized control law for large scale systems is discussed. It is extended to assure the stability not only of the overall system but also of each subsystem without interconnection. Then, it is simplified to have local feedback loops only for some selected subsystems.
