solution, yet has to be done in ignorance of this solution, which can then turn out to be unsuitable in ways that were not foreseen. Therefore, control system design usually proceeds iteratively through the steps of modelling, control structure design, controllability analysis, performance and robustness weights selection, controller synthesis, control system analysis and nonlinear simulation. Rosenbrock (1974) makes the following observation: Solutions are constrained by so many requirements that it is virtually impossible to list them all. The designer finds himself threading a maze of such requirements, attempting to reconcile conflicting demands of cost, performance, easy maintenance, and so on. A good design usually has strong aesthetic appeal to those who are competent in the subject. Most (if not all) available control theories assume that a control structure is given at the outset. They therefore fail to answer some basic questions which a control engineer regularly meets in practice. Which variables should be controlled, which variables should be measured, which inputs should be manipulated, and which links should be made between them? The objective of this chapter is to describe the main issues involved in control structure design and to present some of the available quantitative methods, for example, for decentralized control. 10.1 Introduction Control structure design was considered by Foss (1973) in his paper entitled “Critique of process control theory” where he concluded by challenging the control theoreticians of the day to close the gap between theory and applications in this important area. Later Morari et al. (1980) presented an overview of control structure design, hierarchical control and multilevel optimization in their paper “Studies in the synthesis of control structure for chemical processes”, but the gap still remained, and still does to some extent today. Control structure design is clearly important in the chemical process industry because of the complexity of these plants, but the same issues are relevant in most other areas of control where we have large-scale systems. For example, in the late 1980s Carl Nett (Nett, 1989; Nett and Minto, 1989) gave a number of lectures based on his experience on aero-engine control at General Electric, under the title “A quantitative approach to the selection and partitioning of measurements and manipulations for the control of complex systems”. He noted that increases in controller complexity unnecessarily outpaces increases in plant complexity, and that the objective should be to
