Abstract

The paper presents a modification of the decentralized controller design technique for continuous-time systems (named “Equivalent Subsystems Method”, ESM) proposed in (Kozáková and Veselý, 2003; 2007) and further developed towards securing robust stability and nominal performance (Kozáková and Veselý, 2005; 2006). The proposed design procedure combines the ESM with a subsequent detuning to fulfil the M- structure robust stability conditions adapted for the decentralized control. Robust decentralized controllers designed for two real plants show practical applicability of the proposed design philosophy.
