چکیده

This paper is concerned with a class of decentralised control problems that arise in contemporary applications where agents cooperate to control and regulate a global quantity, are limited in the manner in which they communicate with each other, and are required to reach consensus on some implicit variable (for example, CO 2 emissions). Three algorithms are presented for achieving this goal. The convergence of these algorithms are proven, and their efficacy is demonstrated in simulations.

Cooperative Control using the Max-Sum Algorithm

This paper presents research on enabling cooperative decision strategies in a distributed sensor network. The paper begins with an introduction to distributed sensor networks and outlines two levels of cooperation: implicit and explicit cooperation. Implicit cooperation is the process of building and maintaining a common distributed picture where explicit cooperation is the process of negotiati...

Photovoltaic Microgrids Control by the Cooperative Control of Multi-Agent Systems

This paper presents a cooperative control which is applied to the secondary control of a microgrid controlled via a multi-agent scheme. Balancing power that leads to voltage and frequency stability in a microgrid is essential. The voltage and frequency regulations are limiting within the specified limits and conveying them to their nominal values. Limiting and conveying the voltage and frequenc...

Third-order Decentralized Safe Consensus Protocol for Inter-connected Heterogeneous Vehicular Platoons

In this paper, the stability analysis and control design of heterogeneous traffic flow is considered. It is assumed that the traffic flow consists of infinite number of cooperative non-identical vehicular platoons. Two different networks are investigated in stability analysis of heterogeneous traffic flow: 1) inter-platoon network which deals with the communication topology of lead vehicles and...

Recent Research in Cooperative Control of Multi-Vehicle Systems

This paper presents a survey of recent research in cooperative control of multivehicle systems, using a common mathematical framework to allow different methods to be described in a unified way. The survey has three primary parts: an overview of current applications of cooperative control, a summary of some of the key technical approaches that have been explored, and a description of some possi...

Cooperative Control of Multi - Vehicle Systems

This paper will review a relatively new field of research, namely the area of Cooperative Control. This paper/report will cover many aspects about the field of cooperative control. The paper can be considered as a comprehensive study of many, if not all, related elements of cooperative control. This field studies the interconnections between systems to act collectively towards global objective ...
