“…A variable structure adaptive fuzzy logic control approach for designing a decentralised controller for load frequency control of interconnected power areas in El-Metwally (2010) to improve the dynamic performance of the frequency and tie-line power flow under a sudden load change in the power areas. In addition, decentralised control has been applied to other practical systems such as a coupled inverted pendulum system Yoo et al, 2009;Li et al, 2011), wind turbine (Wu et al, 2008), vibration isolation system (Kim et al, 2001), a platooning vehicles system (Yan and Edwards, 2008;Ghasemi et al, 2013), river pollution control (Mahmoud and Hassen, 1986), chemical process control (Hudon and Bao, 2012;Zhang et al, 2013;Lunze, 1992), satellite attitude control (Wu et al, 2012) and flight control (Vukobratovic and Stojic, 1986;Boskovic and Mehra, 2010) to name a few. In recent years, decentralised control strategies have been employed in bio-engineering systems (Sato et al, 2012;Nekoukar and Erfanian, 2012).…”
