| More Details: | This paper focuses on developing an adaptive system decomposition approach for multi-agent distributed model predictive control (DMPC) of integrated process networks. The proposed system decomposition employs a refined spectral community detection method to construct an optimal distributed control framework based on the weighted graph representation of the state space process model. The resulting distributed architecture assigns controlled outputs and manipulated inputs to controller agents and delineates their interactions. The decomposition evolves as the process network undergoes various operating conditions, enabling adjustments in the distributed architecture and DMPC design. This adaptive architecture enhances the closed-loop performance and robustness of DMPC systems. The effectiveness of the multi-agent distributed control approach is investigated for a benchmark benzene alkylation process under two distinct operating conditions characterized by medium and low recycle ratios. Simulation results demonstrate that adaptive decompositions derived through spectral community detection, utilizing weighted graph representations, outperform the commonly employed unweighted hierarchical community detection-based system decompositions in terms of closed-loop performance and computational efficiency. |
