Decentralized hierarchical control of multiple time scale systems
Danielle C. Tarraf, H. Harry Asada · 2002
This paper exposes an idea for dual level control architecture for use in large-scale systems consisting of networks of smaller subsystems whose dynamical behavior exhibits multiple time scales. The proposed control scheme is decentralized in nature at the low level: the communication among subsystems is done indirectly through the high level control, whose design is based on a singularly perturbed model of the overall system.
