Adaptive Control

One of the major controversies in macroeconomics over the last 30 years has been that on the effectiveness of stabilization policies. However, this debate, between those who believe that this kind of policies is useless if not harmful and those who argue in favor of it, has been mainly theoretical so far.

This book aims to emphasize the state-of-the-art research in realizing the optimal synthesis of microgrid voltage regulation problems using adaptive multi-agent control theory. The contents of this book are divided into four parts. The book describes the microgrid voltage regulation model construction. Building upon this foundation, the book investigates fault-tolerant and event-triggered control problems under different constraints. The effectiveness and applicability of the design methods are verified by simulation arithmetic and applications.

Adaptive controllers and optimal controllers are two distinct methods for the design of automatic control systems. Adaptive controllers learn online in real time how to control systems but do not yield optimal performance, whereas optimal controllers must be designed offline using full knowledge of the systems dynamics.
