Abstract

A well-established distributed LQR method for decoupled systems is extended to the dynamically coupled case where the open-loop systems are dynamically dependent. First, a fully centralized controller is designed which is subsequently substituted by a distributed state-feedback gain with sparse structure. The control scheme is obtained by optimizing an LQR performance index with a tuning parameter utilized to emphasize/de-emphasize relative state difference between interconnected systems. Overall stability is guaranteed via a simple test applied to a convex combination of Hurwitz matrices, the validity of which leads to stable global operation for a class of interconnection schemes. It is also shown that the suboptimality of the method can be assessed by measuring a certain distance between two positive definite matrices which can be obtained by solving two Lyapunov equations.
