Distributed Partially Cooperative NMPC Under Limited Communication and Destabilizing Interconnections

In this paper, a new formulation of distributed and partially cooperative control under limited communication is proposed. Unlike many existing schemes, destabilizing interconnections are considered and partial load shading-like decisions may be potentially taken in order to maintain the overall system integrity. The example of power systems black-out can be viewed as the targeted context although the present paper gives the general framework regardless any specific application.
