An Energy Framework for Decentralized Market- Based Structural Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
The current state-of-practice in structural control uses the centralized Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) approach to determine optimal control forces. The centralized architecture of the LQR control approach does not easily scale to complex systems characterized by high sensor and actuator densities. In this paper, a decentralized control approach is proposed for application in structural control systems. Termed energy market-based control (EMBC), the control system’s decision process is modeled after the laws of supply and demand that govern free-market economies. The demand function of system actuators reflect the real-time kinetic and strain energy response of the structural system while the supply function of the system power sources are influenced by the structure’s external input energy. The approach is shown to yield control results comparable to those obtained from the centralized LQR solution.

Decentralized Control Strategy for Optimal Energy Management in Grid-Connected and Islanded DC Microgrids
This paper proposes a decentralized control technique to minimize the total operation cost of a DC microgrid in both grid-connected and islanded modes. In this study, a cost-based droop control scheme based on the hourly bids of all participant distributed generators (DGs) and the hourly energy price of the utility is presented. An economic power sharing technique among various types of DG unit...
