Distributed MPC Strategy with Guaranteed Stability

Several distributed model predictive control (MPC) strategies have been presented in the last few years. Those strategies are usually suited for large applications, when it is not interesting to use centralized controllers. Sub-optimal solutions are normally achieved by those controllers, although most of them can converge to optimal solutions as well. This paper presents a distributed MPC strategy with guaranteed feasibility and stability. Infinity horizon and cooperation between controllers are considered in this new strategy.
