This letter is concerned with the distributed control of networked multi-agent systems (MAS) with linear time-invariant dynamics and quadratic performance measures. As the MAS is networked, the ...

This involves implementing redundancy logic in software, possibly in a supervisory control system (like SCADA or DCS) or higher-level control utilizing distributed computing.

Newly, the advent of geographically distributed systems is lead to using communication networks for connecting the control system components to each other, which typically known as Networked Control ...

Control performance of a multivariable closed-loop control system greatly depends on the quality of the process model used in the controller design. Thus, it is highly desirable that the discrepancy ...

Second, the control strategy for minimum network loss of the active distribution network based on the distributed power flow controller is proposed. Finally, the simulation model of the active ...

As the famous saying goes, “the three most important factors in real estate are location, location and location.” For distributed control systems (DCS) used to control sophisticated processes in many ...

Many professional organizations and associations define the standards and best practices for process control systems. However, most provide only general guidelines that can be applied to any ...

Are today’s Distributed Control Systems ready for what tomorrow could bring? Johan Björklund of leading global technology company ABB believes they are.

Since its introduction more than four decades ago, the distributed control system, or DCS, has made enormous contributions to the safe, efficient and reliable operation of innumerable industrial ...
