This work aims at developing and testing a novel Coalitional Distributed Model Predictive Control (C-DMPC) strategy suitable for vehicle platooning applications. The stability of the algorithm is ensured via the terminal constraint region formulation...
Following the current technological development and informational advancement, more and more physical systems have become interconnected and linked via communication networks. The objective of this work is the development of a Coalitional Distributed...
Next-generation cellular networks are large-scale systems composed of numerous base stations interacting with many diverse users. One of the main challenges with these networks is their high energy consumption due to the expected number of connected...
Controlling multi-agent systems (MASs) has attracted increased interest within the control community. Since the control challenge consists of the fact that each agent has limited local capabilities, our adopted solution is tailored so that a group of...
Complex systems composed of multiple interconnected sub-systems need to be controlled with specialized control algorithms. In this paper, two classes of control algorithms suitable for such processes are presented. Firstly, two distributed model pred...
For interconnected multi-microgrids, it is crucial to improve operational economy and renewable energy utilization while ensuring system security. However, existing studies still face limitations in handling multi-time-scale uncertainties and enhanci...
