Frequency domain solution to delay-type Nehari problem

This paper generalizes the frequency-domain results on the delay-type Nehari problem in the stable case to the unstable case. The solvability condition of the delay-type Nehari problem is formulated in terms of the nonsingularity of three matrices. The optimal value γ_opt is the maximal γ∈(0,∞) such that one of the three matrices becomes singular. All sub-optimal compensators are parameterized in a transparent structure incorporating a modified Smith predictor.

Direct data‐driven control of linear time‐delay systems

This paper presents an extension of the Virtual Reference Feedback Tuning (VRFT) methodology dedicated to linear time‐delay systems with known delay and unknown dynamics. The standard VRFT is not well suited for systems with dominant time‐delay as it yields high order controllers. The proposed direct approach, relying on a Smith Predictor structure, guarantees the same level of performance as the standard VRFT but with lower order controllers. The joint direct data‐driven design of the controller and the predictor is facilitated by the introduction of an ad‐hoc optimization initialization. Effectiveness and robustness to uncertainty in the time‐delay estimation are shown in a vehicle dynamics control problem.

PID控制器设计与仿真研究

研究优化PID控制器性能问题,在过程控制中,系统存在纯滞后性、时变性、非线性的复杂系统,传统模糊控制和PID控制方法解决上述问题效果不佳,导致超调量大和调节时间长。为了解决控制系统中超调量大和调节时间长等难题,在Smith预估器和传统PID控制的基础上,结合模糊PID控制的优点,提出一种模糊PID-Smith的智能控制方法。方法通过对模型的纯滞后进行补偿,来减小纯滞后系统的超调量,从而增强系统的稳定性。通过对火电机组主汽温控制系统进行仿真,结果表明,方法降低了超调量,减少了调节时间,极大地改善了控制性能,提高了控制系统的自适应性和鲁棒性。     

Generalized multi-scale control scheme for cascade processes with time-delays

The cascade control is a well-known technique in process industry to improve regulatory control performance. The use of the conventional PI/PID controllers has often been found to be ineffective for cascade processes with long time-delays. Recent literature report has shown that the multi-scale control (MSC) scheme is capable of providing improved performance over the conventional PID controllers for processes characterized by long time-delays as well as slow RHP zeros. This paper presents an extension of this basic MSC scheme to cascade processes with long time-delays. This new cascade MSC scheme is applicable to self-regulating, integrating and unstable processes. Extensive numerical studies demonstrate the effectiveness of the cascade MSC scheme compared with some well-established cascade control strategies.
