Abstract

The paper proposes a distributed LQR method for the solution to regulator problems of networks composed of dynamically dependent agents. It is assumed that these dynamical couplings among agents can be expressed in a state-space form of a certain structure. Following a top-down approach we approximate a centralized LQR optimal controller by a distributed scheme the stability of which is guaranteed via a stability test applied to convex combination of Hurwitz matrices. The method is applied to N-identical-area power grid where a distributed state-feedback Load Frequency Controller (LFC) is proposed to achieve frequency regulation under power demand variations. An illustrative numerical example demonstrates the applicability of the method.
