A SOFTWARE PACKAGE FOR OPTIMAL CONTROL DECISIONS IN LARGE SCALE SYSTEMS

Abstract This paper presents the utilization of SISCON, a the software package meant to be utilised in the evaluation of optimal decisions for large scale systems. The large scale systems have generally a complex structure and consequently a global computation approach cannot be effectively carried out if at all. First the decomposition of large–scale problems is carried out. Then the subproblems are solved by using standard optimization techniques. SISCON offers opportunities for solving non-linear mathematical programming problems and for evaluating optimal decisions in large scale systems control. SISCON firstly evaluates mathematical models developed from experimental data using LS least square methods for linear and nonlinear systems and after that then computes the optimal decision solution by solving the mathematical non-linear programming problems.
