Property of RGA:
Columns and rows always sum to 1
RGA independent of scaling (units) for u and y.
Note: RGA as a function of frequency is the most important for control!
![Page 8: 1 Decentralized control Sigurd Skogestad Department of Chemical Engineering Norwegian University of Science and Tecnology (NTNU) Trondheim, Norway](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697bf861a28abf838c8840c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
8
Use of RGA:
(1) Interactions
From derivation: Interactions are small if relative gains are close to 1
Choose pairings corresponding to RGA elements close to 1
Traditional: Consider Steady-state
Better: Consider frequency corresponding to closed-loop time constant
But: Avoid pairing on negative steady-state relative gain – otherwise you get instability if one of the loops
become inactive (e.g. because of saturation)
![Page 9: 1 Decentralized control Sigurd Skogestad Department of Chemical Engineering Norwegian University of Science and Tecnology (NTNU) Trondheim, Norway](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697bf861a28abf838c8840c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

(2) Sensitivity measure
But RGA is not only an interaction measure:
Large RGA-elements signifies a process that is very sensitive to small changes (errors) and therefore fundamentally difficult to control

Decentralized control
![Page 14: 1 Decentralized control Sigurd Skogestad Department of Chemical Engineering Norwegian University of Science and Tecnology (NTNU) Trondheim, Norway](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697bf861a28abf838c8840c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Two main steps
• Choice of pairings (control configuration selection)
• Design (tuning) of each controller
![Page 15: 1 Decentralized control Sigurd Skogestad Department of Chemical Engineering Norwegian University of Science and Tecnology (NTNU) Trondheim, Norway](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697bf861a28abf838c8840c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Design (tuning) of each controller ki(s)
• Fully coordinated design– can give optimal– BUT: requires full model– not used in practice
• Independent design– Base design on “paired element”– Can get failure tolerance– Not possible for interactive plants (which fail to satisfy our three pairing rules – see
later)
• Sequential design– Each design a SISO design – Can use “partial control theory”– Depends on inner loop being closed – Works on interactive plants where we may have time scale separation
![Page 16: 1 Decentralized control Sigurd Skogestad Department of Chemical Engineering Norwegian University of Science and Tecnology (NTNU) Trondheim, Norway](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697bf861a28abf838c8840c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Effective use of decentralized control requires some “natural” decomposition
• Decomposition in space– Interactions are small
– G close to diagonal
– Independent design can be used
• Decomposition in time– Different response times for the outputs
– Sequential design can be used
![Page 17: 1 Decentralized control Sigurd Skogestad Department of Chemical Engineering Norwegian University of Science and Tecnology (NTNU) Trondheim, Norway](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697bf861a28abf838c8840c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
Independent design: Pairing rules
Pairing rule 1. RGA at crossover frequencies. Prefer pairings such that the rearranged system, with the selected pairings along the diagonal, has an RGA matrix close to identity at frequencies around the closed-loop bandwidth.
Pairing rule 2. For a stable plant avoid pairings ij that correspond to negative steady-state RGA elements, ij(0)· 0.
Pairing rule 3. Prefer a pairing ij where gij puts minimal restrictions on the achievable bandwidth. Specifically, its effective delay ij should be small.
![Page 18: 1 Decentralized control Sigurd Skogestad Department of Chemical Engineering Norwegian University of Science and Tecnology (NTNU) Trondheim, Norway](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697bf861a28abf838c8840c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Example 1: Diagonal plant
• Simulations (and for tuning): Add delay 0.5 in each input
• Simulations setpoint changes: r1=1 at t=0 and r2=1 at t=20
• Performance: Want |y1-r1| and |y2-r2| less than 1
• G (and RGA): Clear that diagonal pairings are preferred
![Page 19: 1 Decentralized control Sigurd Skogestad Department of Chemical Engineering Norwegian University of Science and Tecnology (NTNU) Trondheim, Norway](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697bf861a28abf838c8840c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Diagonal pairings
Get two independent subsystems:

21
Off-diagonal pairings (!!?)
Pair on two zero elements !! Loops do not work independently!
But there is some effect when both loops are closed:
![Page 22: 1 Decentralized control Sigurd Skogestad Department of Chemical Engineering Norwegian University of Science and Tecnology (NTNU) Trondheim, Norway](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697bf861a28abf838c8840c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Off- diagonal pairings for diagonal plant
• Example: Want to control temperature in two completely different rooms (which may even be located in different countries). BUT:– Room 1 is controlled using heat input in room 2 (?!)
– Room 2 is controlled using heat input in room 1 (?!)

23
Off-diagonal pairings....
– Performance quite poor, but it works because of the “hidden” feedback loop g12 g21 k1 k2!!
– No failure tolerance
Controller design difficult. After some trial and error:

Example 2: One-way interactive (triangular) plant
• Simulations (and for tuning): Add delay 0.5 in each input
• RGA: Seems that diagonal pairings are preferred
• BUT: RGA is not able to detect the strong one-way interactions (g12=5)
![Page 25: 1 Decentralized control Sigurd Skogestad Department of Chemical Engineering Norwegian University of Science and Tecnology (NTNU) Trondheim, Norway](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697bf861a28abf838c8840c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Comparison of diagonal and off-diagonal pairings
– OK performance,
– but no failure tolerance
if loop 2 fails

Conclusions decentralized examples
• Performance is OK with decentralized control (even with wrong pairings!)
• However, controller design becomes difficult for interactive plants – and independent design may not be possible
– and failure tolerance may not be guaranteed

Example 3.10: Separator (pressure vessel)
• Pairings? Would expect y1/u1 and y2/u2
• But process is strongly coupled at
intermediate frequencies. Why?
• Frequency-dependent RGA suggests
opposite pairing at intermediate
frequencies
u1 = V
u2 = L
Feed (d)y2 = level (h)
y1 = pressure (p)

Iterative RGA
• For large processes, lots of pairing alternatives
• RGA evaluated iteratively is helpful for quick screening
• Converges to “Permuted Identity” matrix (correct pairings) for generalized diagonally dominant processes.
• Can converge to incorrect pairings, when no alternatives are dominant.
• Usually converges in 5-6 iterations

Stability of Decentralized control systems
• Question: If we stabilize individual loops, will the overall closed-loop system be stable?
• E is relative uncertainty
• is complementary sensitivity for diagonal plant

Stability of Decentralized control systems
• Question: If we stabilize individual loops, will overall closed-loop system be stable?

Decentralized Integral Controllability• Question: If we detune individual loops arbitrarily or take them out of
service, will the overall closed-loop system be stable with integral controller?
• Addresses “Ease of tuning”
• When DIC - Can start with low gains in individual loops and increase gains for performance improvements
• Not DIC if
• DIC if

Performance RGA• Motivation: RGA measures two-way interactions only
• Example 2 (Triangular plant)
• Performance Relative Gain Array
• Also measures one-way interactions, but need to be calculated for every pairing alternative.
