Abstract
A distributed control system includes a plurality of control units that controls respective units of a plurality of devices, and a communication network that includes a communication line that connects the control units. A control unit of each of the devices is configured to determine a state target value, according to consensus control of a multi-agent system, by using a current state index value of a self-device, and a difference between a latest state index value of an adjacent device received from a control unit of the adjacent device, and a latest state index value of the self-device received from the control unit of the adjacent device.
