The objective is to coordinate the impact time of a group of interceptor missiles against the stationary target. The framework of a distributed RHC scheme is developed, in which each interceptor missile is assigned its own finite-horizon optimal control problem (FHOCP) and only shares the information with its neighbors. The solution of the local FHOCP is obtained by the constrained particle swarm optimization (PSO) method that is integrated into the distributed RHC framework with enhanced equality and inequality constraints. The numerical simulations show that the proposed guidance approach is feasible to implement the cooperative engagement with satisfied accuracy of target capture. Finally, the computation efficiency of the distributed RHC scheme is discussed in consideration of the PSO parameters, control update period and prediction horizon.

To overcome the challenges of microgrid control, advanced controllers need to be developed.In this paper, a distributed, two-level, communication-economic control scheme is presented for multiple-bus microgrids with each bus having multiple distributed generators(DGs) connected in parallel. The control objective of the upper level is to calculate the voltage references for one-bus subsystems. The objectives of the lower control level are to make the subsystems' bus voltages track the voltage references and to enhance load current sharing accuracy among the local DGs. Firstly, a distributed consensusbased power sharing algorithm is introduced to determine the power generations of the subsystems. Secondly, a discrete-time droop equation is used to adjust subsystem frequencies for voltage reference calculations. Finally, a Lyapunov-based decentralized control algorithm is designed for bus voltage regulation and proportional load current sharing. Extensive simulation studies with microgrid models of different levels of detail are performed to demonstrate the merits of the proposed control scheme.展开更多

Currently, Newton-Raphson algorithm is applied to load distribution of hot tandem mills in many hot rolling plants and has some serious defects such as having a strict restriction on initial iterative calculation value and requiring coefficient matrix of nonlinear equations to be nonsingular. To eliminate these defects and improve the online performance of the process control computer, Newton descendent numeric algorithm is introduced to this field to widen the initial value range and a new model named error conversion algorithm is put forth to deal with special conditions when the coefficient matrix is singular. Furthermore, considering the characteristics of load distribution, a condition of strip thickness distribution abnormality and corresponding solutions are provided which ensure that rolling parameters can be calculated normally. Simulation results show that the improved algorithm has overcome the defects of the Newton-Raphson algorithm and is suitable for online application.展开更多

文摘This paper deals with the distributed solving problem of a specific class of linear algebraic equations(LAEs)with block Toeplitz structures.To reduce the communication burden and achieve computation efficiency,a distributed iterative algorithm from the communication-efficient perspective is proposed by incorporating the specific structure of the coefficient matrix tied to any given LAE over a multi-agent network.Each agent possesses a state vector of size smaller than the dimensions of unknown variables related to the LAE and receives information from its neighbors.It is shown that the presented distributed iterative algorithm can solve the specific class of LAEs without requiring any initialization conditions,irrespective of whether it admits a unique solution or multiple solutions.Moreover,an equivalent relation is established between the problem of solving LAEs and the tracking problem of iterative learning control(ILC)systems.The proposed distributed iterative algorithm is leveraged to obtain the distributed control law for ILC systems to realize the tracking objective.Theoretical guarantees are provided for our developed solution results of LAEs,and the effectiveness of them is also verified through simulation examples.

文摘In recent years,a significant number of distributed small-capacity energy storage(ES)systems have been integrated into power grids to support grid fre-quency regulation.However,the challenges associated with high-dimensional control and synergistic operation alongside conventional generators remain unsolved.In this paper,a partitioning-based control approach is developed for the participation of widespread distributed ES systems on frequency control in power systems.The approach comprises a network partitioning method and a two-layer frequency control scheme.The partitioning method utilizes a community detection algorithm in which the weights between the buses are calculated based on the electrical distances.After partitioning the buses into different groups,an optimization-based frequency control system with two layers is established to aggregate and dis-aggregate the inertia and droop coefficients so that frequency regulation and economical operation can be achieved.The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through numerical simulations on an IEEE 39-bus system.The results confirm the successful elimination of frequency deviations and low operating cost of the proposed approach.

文摘This paper investigates the distributed model predictive control(MPC)problem of linear systems where the network topology is changeable by the way of inserting new subsystems,disconnecting existing subsystems,or merely modifying the couplings between different subsystems.To equip live systems with a quick response ability when modifying network topology,while keeping a satisfactory dynamic performance,a novel reconfiguration control scheme based on the alternating direction method of multipliers(ADMM)is presented.In this scheme,the local controllers directly influenced by the structure realignment are redesigned in the reconfiguration control.Meanwhile,by employing the powerful ADMM algorithm,the iterative formulas for solving the reconfigured optimization problem are obtained,which significantly accelerate the computation speed and ensure a timely output of the reconfigured optimal control response.Ultimately,the presented reconfiguration scheme is applied to the level control of a benchmark four-tank plant to illustrate its effectiveness and main characteristics.
