Abstract: Some embodiments provide a distributed optimization framework and technology for the control of aggregated propulsion system components that iteratively operates until a commanded propulsion-related profile is produced by aggregated components of the propulsion system. Some embodiments use a distributed iterative solution in which each component solves a local optimization problem with local constraints and states, while using global variables that are based upon information from each other component. The global variables may be determined via a distributed transaction system using component-specific information obtained from each component at each iteration. The global variables may be broadcast to the components for each new iteration.
