Design and Control of Interconnected Systems Raffaello D’Andrea Cornell University
Examples • Power generation and distribution • Vehicle platoons • Satellite formation flight • Paper processing • Adaptive optics • MEMS data storage • Optical switching • “Smart” structures • and so on... Common thread: • Distributed sensing and actuation capabilities • Highly structured interconnection topology

Simplest case: Homogeneous Systems Basic building block, one spatial dimension
Results for linear and piece-wise linear systems Theorem: If the following semidefinite program has a solution: where N and the are fixed, and only a function of the basic building block, then all interconnected systems are well-posed, stable, and D’Andrea ’98, D’Andrea & Dullerud ‘03
Basic building block: control design Design controller that has the same structure as the plant:
Properties of design • Controller has the same structure as the plant • Finite dimensional, convex optimization problem • Optimization problem size is independent of the number of • units
Theorem: the interconnected system is well-posed, stable, and if the following coupledsemidefinite programs have a solution: if the subsystems are not interconnected: Langbort, Chandra, & D’Andrea ’03 Chandra, Langbort, & D’Andrea ‘03
Theorem: the interconnected system is well-posed, stable, and if the following coupledsemidefinite programs have a solution: if the subsystems are not interconnected: Langbort, Chandra, & D’Andrea ’03 Chandra, Langbort, & D’Andrea ‘03 When working with linearized dynamics, results generalize tocontrol system design
Summary • Semidefinite programming a powerful tool for controldesign and analysis of interconnected systems • Generalization of powerful results for single systems:linear, piece-wise linear, nonlinear • Leads to distributed semidefinite programs, whosestructure is captured by interconnection topology
