Controller Design for Descriptor-type Systems with Distributed Timedelay Using Extension

Abstract

Controller design using extension is considered for descriptor-type systems with distributed time-delay. The approach is useful in decentralized controller design using overlapping decompositions. In this approach, a given largescale system is decomposed overlappingly into a number of subsystems and expanded such that the overlapping parts appear as disjoint. Since the subsystems appear as disjoint for the expanded system, it is easier to design a descentralized controller for the expanded system. This controller is then contracted for implementation on the original system. In the present paper, it is shown how to contract such a controller to guarantee stability and desired performance for the original system. © WSEAS Transactions on Circuits and Systems 2021.
