Frequency performance analysis of proportional integral-type active disturbance rejection generalized predictive control for time delay systems

Abstract

To improve the performance of the Active Disturbance Rejection Control (ADRC) in systems which have large time delay, reduce online computation for Proportional Integral-type Generalized Predictive Control (PI-GPC) method, the Proportional Integral-type Active Disturbance Rejection Generalized Predictive Control (PI-ADRGPC) based on Controlled Auto Regression and Moving Average (CARMA) model is designed. The frequency domain analysis method is used to analyse the stability of the PI-ADRGPC based on CARMA model. By using the open-loop transfer function of the PI-GPC discrete form, the influence of parameter changes on the PI-ADRGPC performance is analysed. The performance of the PI-ADRGPC and ADRC algorithm is compared through the application in a second-order time delay system and distillation column system. The research results show that compared with the ADRC algorithm, the PI-ADRGPC method has a shorter rise time and better performance.
