Résumé
This paper proposes a novel cooperative distributed control system architecture based on unsupervised and independent Model Predictive Control (MPC) using discrete-time Laguerre functions to improve the performance of the whole system. In this distributed framework, local MPCs algorithms might exchange and require information from other sub-controllers via the communication network to achieve their task in a cooperative way. In order to reduce the computational burden in the local rolling optimization with a sufficiently large prediction horizon, the orthonormal Laguerre functions are used to approximate the predicted control trajectory. Simulation results show that the proposed architecture could guarantee satisfactory global performance even under strong interactions among the subsystems.
