Abstract :
In a previous paper, we developed centralized nonlinear controllers for fluid flow networks that needed flow measurements from all the branches. In this paper, we solve a decentralized problem where valves and flow rate sensors are collocated in individual branches and do not exchange information. We solve both regulation (constant references) and tracking (time varying reference signals) problems. To eliminate conservativeness in choosing the gains of the controllers, we employ adaptation.
