Abstract

Techniques are described for implementing automated control systems that repeatedly perform automated modifications to control system actuator components' ongoing operations to improve functionality for electrical devices in target systems, such as to reduce power dissipation while using the electrical devices. The described techniques further include synchronizing a particular control system's state improvements with corresponding control system state improvements being performed for one or more other control systems that are each controlling one or more distinct electrical devices in the target system(s), so as to improve the collective control system functionality according to one or more criteria (e.g., to reduce power dissipation)—such synchronizing may include, for example, generating a mean field representation of the overall control system state for the target system(s) and using the mean field representation to improve the overall control system state.
