摘要：AbstractThis paper investigates the control of flow networks with storage capabilities at the nodes, where the control objective is to regulate the measured output (e.g storage levels) towards a desired value. We present a distributed controller that dynamically adjusts the inputs and flows, to achieve this output regulation in the presence of an unknown disturbance, while satisfying given input and flow constraints. Optimal coordination among the inputs, minimizing a suitable cost function, is achieved by exchanging information over a communication network. Exploiting an incremental passivity property, the desired steady state is proven to be globally asymptotically stable under the closed loop dynamics. A case study of a district heating system shows the the effectiveness of the proposed solution.
