Abstract: Decentralised control is widely used for the control of multivariable plants. Prior to the design of the decentralised controllers, input-output pairing is an important step in the design procedure. In the face of unknown, uncertain or time varying plant parameters, the input-output selection may endure fundamental changes, which will severely degrade the decentralised controller performance. This paper proposes a reconfigurable structure for the design of the decentralised controller based on the adaptive control strategies. Simulation results are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.

Keywords: reconfigurable control; decentralised control; adaptive control; controller design; linear multivariable plants; simulation.
