This paper presents a new method for the optimal control of the distributed parameter systems by a decentralized computational procedure. Approximate lumped parameter models are derived by using the Galerkin method employing the Legendre polynomials as the basis functions. The distributed parameter systems, however, are transformed into the large scale lumped parameter models. And thus, the decentralized control scheme is introduced to determine the optimal control inputs for the obtained lumped parameter models. In addition, an approach to block pulse functions is applied to solve the optimal control problems of the obtained lumped parameter models. The proposed method is simple and efficient in computation for the optimal control of distributed paramter systems. Illustrative examples given to demonstrate the validity of the presently proposed method.

This paper presents on approach to the position control of a robot manipulator by using a decentralized adaptive control scheme. The large scale system is regarded as the system which consists of many subsystems having interconnection. In each subsystem, a local control system is composed by feedforward and feedback component, one computes the nominal torque from the Newton-Euler equation, the other computes the perturbation equation which reduce the position error of the manipulator along the nominal trajectory. A computer simulation studies was conducted to evaluate and compare the performances of the proposed manipulator control scheme with those of the PD control and centralized control schemes.

The mobile platform-manipulator discussed in this paper is a three link manipulator mounted on a mobile platform. This mobile manipulator is used for welding operation and it is able to operate in a narrow space. The task of the torch, which is mounted at the end effector of the manipulator, is to track along the seam line and the task of the mobile platform is to move the origin point of the manipulator in order to go away from the singularity of the manipulator’s configuration. In this paper, the path planning for the motion of two subsystems (i.e., the manipulator and the mobile platform) was presented by the decentralized control method. Two controllers for the mobile platform and the manipulator were designed, and the relationship between the independent controllers is its state information. The simulation results are also presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the control method.

This paper presents a decentralized control scheme for interconnected systems with unmodeled nonlinearities and interactions using a neural coordinator. The interactions due to the interconnection and the unmodeled nonlinearity associated with each subsystem are represented by the deviations from linearized states of decomposed subsystems. the decentralized controller is composed of local controllers and a neural coordinator. The local controller for each subsystem is derived from linearized local system parameters y linear optimal control theory. the neural cooridnator generates a corrective control signal to cancel the effect of deviation sthrough the backpropagation learning with the rrors obtained form the difference of the local system outputs and reference model outputs. the reference model consists of the part of local system without deviations. The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is demonstrated by simulation studies.

In this paper, the decentralized adaptive control scheme is applied to the control of drum type boiler system. Because the scheme requires the stability of interconnections, static feedback is used to satisfy the requirement of the scheme. From a priori knowledge of the system, system parameter estimates are bounded to prevent parameter drifting. Computer simulation shows that the decentralized adaptive control is suitable for the control of drum type boiler system and robust in the presence of disturbance.

In this paper, we propose a method using neural network (NN) to improve the motion control of a decentralized control system for cooperative transportation. In our former work, a decentralized control system for transporting a single object by multiple nonholonomic mobile robots has been developed. One of these mobile robots acts as a leader, who is assumed to be able to plan and to manipulate the omnidirectional motion of the object. Other robots, referred to as followers, cooperatively transport the object by keeping a constant position relative to the object. in this work, it is assumed that the leader can not only plan but also broadcast the local velocity of the object. Then...

The present work is to estimate the stability region of the State-Dependent Riccati Equation (SDRE) controlled system, which is used for a decentralized coordinated attitude control in satellite formation flying. In this research, currently emerging methods which estimate region of attraction for the SDRE controllers are introduced and the methods are applied to attitude control systems. The results guarantee the stability of the given decentralized coordinated attitude control system in satellite formation flying.

An extension of interaction matrix formulation to the problem of system and disturbance identification for a plant that is corrupted by both process and output disturbances is presented. The teaming control develops controllers that learn to improve their performance at executing a given task, based on experience performing this task. The simplest forms of loaming control are based on the same concept as integral control, but operating in the domain of the repetitions of the task. This paper studies the use of such controllers in a decentralized system, such as a robot moving on the vertical plane with the controller for each link acting independently. The basic result of the paper is to show that stability and iterative precision of the learning controllers for all subsystems when the coupling between subsystems is turned off, assures stability of the decentralized teaming in the coupled system, provided that the sample time in the digital teaming controller is sufficiently short. The methods of teaming system are shown up for the iterative precision of each link.

The purpose of this study is to draw out objective bases for selecting various applicable facilities in case of the establishment of rainwater management strategies. To do so, sixteen facilities were selected from decentralized rainwater management systems that induce rainwater infiltration and detention as well as centralized end-of-pipe type infiltration and detention facilities in local areas. With these facilities, it attempted to evaluate them in terms of sustainability, pollutant elimination, flood control capacity and costs and subsequently analyzed correlations between each characteristic. The outcomes of the analysis were as follows: First was the analysis of characteristics between decentralized rainwater management systems and end-of-pipe rainwater management systems. From the decentralized rainwater management systems, the mulden-rigolen system and grass swale at street level had the highest in the total of the four items while the totals of the underground detention tank and temporary detention site were highest in end-of-pipe rainwater management systems. After analyzing the correlation between different types of facilities and each variable, it can be said that decentralized rainwater management systems have a higher correlation than end-of-pipe rainwater management systems in terms of sustainability whereas the latter are better in flood control capacity than the former. Second, the analysis of correlation in variables of each facility is as follows: first, there is a negative correlation between sustainability value and flood control capacity value; and there is a positive correlation between flood control capability and pollutants elimination. In addition, it revealed that the higher the flood control and pollutant elimination capability the higher the facility costs. Based on these assessments, it is possible to use them as objective selection criteria for facility application in case of site development project or complex plan.

This paper proposes an autonomous decentralized control for a parallel connected uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system based on a fast power detection method using a FPGA based hardware controller for a single phase system. Each UPS unit detects only its output voltage and current without communications signal exchange and a quasi dq transformation method is applied to detect the phase and amplitude of the output voltage and the output current for the single phase system. Fast power detection can be achieved based on a quasi dq transformation, which results in a realization of very fast transient response under rapid load change. In the proposed method, the entire control system is implemented in one FPGA chip. Complicated calculations are assigned to hardware calculation logic, and the parallel processing circuit makes it possible to realize minimized calculation time. Also, an Nios II CPU core is implemented in the same FPGA chip, and the software can be applied for non-time critical calculations. Applying this control system, an autonomous decentralized UPS system with very fast transient response is realized. Feasibility and stable operation are confirmed by means of an experimental setup with three UPSs connected in parallel. Also, rapid load change is applied and excellent performance of the system is confirmed in terms of transient response and stability.
