“…The consensus problem can be modeled as either leader less and leader follower; the difference between the two is the availability of the leader in the later architecture, which describes the reference path for the remaining agents in the network. There are a number of researchers who address the consensus problem under numerous scenarios with and without the leader following approaches such as those in Atrianfar and Haeri (2013), Pawar and Pan (2016) and Chen and Guan (2016). The drawback of all the methods mentioned above is the extra consumption of energy due to the nature of the network requiring continuous monitoring and control.…”

PurposeThis paper aims to provide a new approach to address the problem of reaching the synchronous speed in the network connected multiple motors. Design/methodology/approachPractically, all the control approaches require continuous monitoring of the system thereby consuming extra energy. The method proposed in this paper uses an event-based approach with the multi-agent system (MAS) consensus control alongside with linear quadratic regulator control, thus saving a larger amount of energy. The proposed system is developed by using non-inverting buck boost chopper to provide necessary electrical power for the direct current motor, hence creating a single agent of bigger MAS with identical dynamics. The system stability is formulated by using Lyapunov stability theory. The proposed system is simulated via MATLAB. FindingsThe acquired simulated results validate that the proposed methodology and the multi-motor system worked successfully, thereby achieving common speed, i.e. consensus. The proposed system also validates the energy-saving concept. Practical implicationsPresently, the multiple motor synchronous speed system found application in paper-making machines, textile printing machines, offset printing, etc. The proposed study will contribute greatly to the existing methodologies and overcome their deficiencies by making the system more flexible and error-free due to the presence of network connectivity. Originality/valueThe system is simulated to verify theoretical concepts.
