Subspace-Aided Distributed Monitoring and Control Performance Optimization Approach for Interconnected Industrial Systems

This article proposes a subspace-aided distributed monitoring and control performance optimization integrated framework and the corresponding distributed monitoring and optimization approaches equivalent to centralized designs. It effectively realizes the online global control performance optimization and solves the predesigned controller parameter adjustment limitation. The main contributions of this article are as follows. First, the proposed distributed monitoring and optimization modules can cooperate to establish a subspace-aided distributed integrated framework. The framework effectively addresses the issue of separate design in monitoring and optimization, achieving modularization that facilitates the expansion and maintenance of interconnected systems. Second, the proposed subspace-aided control performance optimization approach breaks the limitations of existing methods that require predesigned controller parameter adjustments, which can achieve distributed control performance optimization while ensuring closed-loop stability of interconnected systems. Third, the proposed optimization approach can automatically adjust the iterative step size, avoiding the disadvantage of manually setting the step size in the traditional optimization algorithm. It shortens the optimization time and reduces the design difficulty. The new methodologies have been evaluated against the current techniques and validated using an interconnected dc motor system, which holds significant engineering importance.
