Reliable decentralised control of delayed MIMO plants

摘要

Reliable decentralised proportional-integral-derivative controller synthesis methods are presented for closed-loop stabilisation of linear time-invariant plants with two multi-input, multi-output (MIMO) channels subject to time delays. The finite-dimensional part of plants in the classes considered here are either stable or they have at most two poles in the unstable region. Closed-loop stability is maintained with only one of the two controllers when the other controller is turned off and taken out of service. © 2010 Taylor & Francis.
