This paper presents a new robust decentralized controller based on mixed H2/H∞ control technique for the solution of Load Frequency Control (LFC) in a deregulated electricity environment. To achieve decentralization in each control area, the connections between this area and the rest of the system and the effects of possible contracts are treated as a set of new disturbance signals. It is shown...

In this paper, we consider transmitter and receiver optimization in multicarrier code-division multiple-access (MCCDMA) systems under Rayleigh fading channels. Receiver optimization is performed in a decentralized manner, while transmitter optimization can be performed through either centralized or decentralized control of the powers of different carriers. Results show that when the number of u...

The increasing integration of decentralized electrical sources is attended by problems with power quality, safe grid operation and grid stability. The concept of the Virtual Synchronous Machine (VISMA) [1] discribes an inverter to particularly connect renewable electrical sources to the grid that provides a wide variety of static an dynamic properties they are also suitable to achieve typical t...

In this Paper, a novel approach based on Cuckoo search optimization, with dominant eigen value shift for designing robust decentralized load frequency control system for interconnected power system is presented. A proportional integral – derivative (PID) controller is considered to exemplify the optimum parameter search. To demonstrate the robustness of the obtained controller, a two-area non r...

Decentralized control design is still commonly applied to design controllers for multivariable systems. The success of decentralized control design methodologies hinges on the quality of decoupling of the system. The aim of this paper is to develop a decoupling procedure that applies to multivariable systems and only requires a frequency response function of the system. The proposed method buil...

The concept of modern decentralized transport system consists not only of the drive and control technology, but also the transmission of data and energy. The latter tends to play a more important role in the future. In this paper we focus on the contactless data transmission system over the power-line cable, which is used for a contactless current supply. An implementation of the FPGA based OFD...

This article proposes a new decentralized sliding mode control design for two synchronous generators driven by marine turbines. Decentralized Sliding Mode Multimachine Control (DSMMC) is applied to a third-order model of the wound rotor synchronous generator in multimachine configuration. Our goal consists in regulating frequency and voltage of synchronous generators in order to ensure their di...

In this paper, the design of the optimal decentralized state-feedback controllers is considered for a wireless sensor and actuator network (WSAN) with stochastic network-induced delays and packet losses. In particular, taking advantage of multiple controllers, we model the WSAN as a wireless networked control system (NCS) with decentralized controllers, and then formulate the stochastic optimal...
