Interaction phenomenon in multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems is an essential difficulty of controllers planning. To design the appropriate controller in multivariable systems, the interaction in the system must be measured. The theories for planning decouplers are valid only for minimum-phase systems. Nevertheless, the most of physical systems are non-minimum phase. In this paper a new ide...

this paper presents a new optimization algorithm to design an optimal proportional, integral, derivative (pid) controller in hydro-turbine generator governor for damping output frequency oscillations. in this research, we utilize a stochastic and optimal based pid controller to control frequency-response of the hydro turbine. the proposed algorithm is employed to design an optimal pid controlle...

The paper shows that the digital proportional-integral-plus (PIP) controller formulated within the context of non-minimum state space (NMSS) control system design methodology is directly equivalent, under certain non-restrictive pole assignment conditions, to the equivalent digital Smith predictor (SP) control system for time delay systems. This allows SP controllers to be considered within the...

This paper considers the application of Proportional-Integral-Plus (PIP) control to the Lancaster University Computerised Intelligent Excavator (LUCIE), which is being developed to dig foundation trenches on a building site. Previous work using LUCIE was based on the ubiquitous PI/PID control algorithm, tuned on-line and implemented in a rather ad hoc manner. By contrast, the present research u...

This paper considers proportional-integral-plus (PIP) control of non-linear systems defined by state-dependent parameter models, with particular emphasis on three practical demonstrators: a microclimate test chamber, a 1/5th-scale laboratory representation of an intelligent excavator, and a full-scale (commercial) vibrolance system used for ground improvement on a construction site. In each cas...

Although it is able to exploit the full power of optimal state variable feedback within a non-minimum state-space (NMSS) setting, the proportional–integral-plus (PIP) controller is simple to implement and provides a logical extension of conventional proportional–integral and proportional–integral–derivative (PI/PID) controllers, with additional dynamic feedback and input compensators introduced...

We show that stabilizing tracking proportional-integral (PI) controllers can be constructed for minimum-phase nonaffine-in-control systems. The constructed PI controller is an equivalent realization of an approximate dynamic inversion controller. This equivalence holds only for the time response when applied to the unperturbed system. Even when restricted to unperturbed minimum-phase linear tim...

have shown a considerable amount of interest in the control of pneumatic drives over the past decade, for two main reasons, firstly, the response of the system is very slow and it is difficult to attain set points due to hysteresis and secondly, the dynamic model of the system is highly non-linear, which greatly complicates controller design and development. To address these problems, two strea...
