Model following PID control system

Abstract

The paper deals with robustness to plant parameter perturbations and sensitivity to disturbances of two‐loop control structures containing a model of the controlled plant and two PID controllers. Special attention is paid to high robustness of considered structure to perturbations of the controlled plant in relation to its nominal model and to good reduction of disturbances. On the basis of presented simulation results one can compare properties of the proposed structure with properties of the Smith predictor and classic control system structure with single feedback loop. The proposed model following control structures may find wide application to robust control of parameter‐varying plants.
