Computer Aided Design of Optimal Decentralized Controllers Under Control Path Constraints

Abstract A class of optimal control problems which is mainly characterized by a set of path constraints on the control variables is presented in this paper. After having transformed the original infinite set of constraints into a finite one, a solution of the stated problem is found by following a Parameter Optimization Approach. The design of an optimal decentralized stabilizing controller for the damping of the electromechanical oscillations of an electric power system is finally illustrated.
