Distributed Estimation, Control and Optimisation for Networked Systems

该项目旨在研究主要基础设施中的大规模网络系统，包括电力网络，交通网络，物联网和其他网络物理系统。该项目预计将开发新的方法和算法，用于这些系统的分布式估计，控制和优化。分布式解决方案是必不可少的，因为传统的技术是专为小型系统不适合大规模系统的有效运作。应用实例包括电力网络的分布式状态估计、多智能体系统的控制和运输网络的优化调度。该项目的成果对于理解和管理这些系统至关重要。

This project aims to study large scale networked systems in major infrastructures including power networks, transportation networks, internet of things, and other cyber-physical systems. This project is expected to develop new methodology and algorithms for distributed estimation, control and optimisation of these systems. Distributed solutions are essential because traditional techniques which were designed for small systems are not suitable for efficient operations of large scale systems. Application examples include distributed state estimation for power networks, control of multi-agent systems and optimal scheduling of transportation networks. The outcomes of this project are vital to the understanding and management of these systems.
