Set-point tracking using distributed MPC

Abstract We consider the output tracking of a set-point using cooperative distributed model predictive control. We propose a framework to avoid the loss of feasibility, guarantee stability, constraint satisfaction as well as convergence to admissible set-points. To enable a distributed implementation of the model predictive control law we utilize a cyclic varying horizon length. A simulation example illustrates the approach and its applicability for interconnected systems.
