Abstract:
This work deals with the formulation of a distributed model predictive
control scheme as a decision problem in which the decisions of each
subsystem affect the decisions of the other subsystems and the
performance of the whole system. This decision problem is formulated
as a bargaining game. This formulation allows each subsystem to decide
whether to cooperate or not depending on the benefits that the
subsystem can gain from the cooperation. A solution based on game
theory is proposed. The convexity and feasibility properties of the
proposed solution are also presented. The proposed control scheme is
tested on a case study with a chain of two continuous stirred tank
reactors followed by a non-adiabatic flash separator.
