Abstract:
Recently, we have introduced a distributed version of Han's method
that can be used for distributed model predictive control (DMPC) of
dynamically coupled linear systems, under coupling constraints (see
"A distributed version of Han's method for DMPC using local
communications only" by D. Doan, T. Keviczky, I. Necoara, M. Diehl,
and B. De Schutter, Control Engineering and Applied
Informatics, vol. 11, no. 3, pp. 6-15, 2009). Some DMPC problems
of water networks can be cast into this type. In this paper, we
propose an improved version of this method and apply it to a canal
system. The simulation results show that the modifications lead to
faster convergence of the method, thus making it more practical in
control of water networks.
