摘要:AbstractThis paper presents a new application of a recently developed optimized decentralized controller design method for solving the tracking and disturbance rejection problems for large scale LTI systems using a minimal-order controller. The application concerns the temperature control of a 2D multi-zone building. The proposed controller has failsafe properties in the sense that if a sensor or actuator fails, the closed-loop eigenvalues remain in the closed left-half plane.
