On Stochastic Control System DesigN Methods for Weakly Coupled Large Scale Linear Systems,
Abstract
The paper considers the problem of decentralized control of two weakly coupled linear stochastic systems, using quadratic performance indices. The basic idea is to have each controller control independently his own system, based upon noisy measurements of his own output. To compensate for the effects of weak coupling upon the resultant performance, fake white plant noise is introduced to each system. The appropriate intensity of the fake plant noise is obtained through the solution of an offline deterministic matrix optimal control problem. The effects of this design method upon the overall system performance are analyzed as a function of the degree of intersystem coupling. (Author)
