Abstract

A primal-dual active-set method is used for solving Model Predictive Control for large-scale systems with linear dynamics, additive disturbance and box constraints. We present a novel decentralized implementation of the primal-dual active-set method. The proposed algorithm is compared to dual decomposition methods. Theoretical and experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach for large scale systems with high communication delays. The application to buildings control systems is thoroughly investigated.
