Subspace identification of 1D large-scale heterogeneous network

Abstract

The identification of a 1D heterogenous network with unmeasurable interconnections between neighboring systems is studied in this paper. For a large-scale networked system, it is usually computationally prohibitive to identify the global system in a centralized manner. To cope with this problem, the local identification of a network using local input-output data is considered in this paper, and a subspace identification method is developed for the identification of individual systems operating in the network. A simulation example is given to validate the proposed identification method.
