Description

In many industrial applications, the existing constraints mandate the use of controllers of low and fixed order while typically, modern methods of optimal control produce high-order controllers.�The authors�seek to start to bridge the resultant gap and present a novel methodology for the design of low-order controllers such as those of the P, PI and PID types. Written in a self-contained and tutorial fashion, this book first develops a fundamental result, generalizing a classical stability theorem � the Hermite�Biehler Theorem � and then applies it to designing controllers that are widely used in industry. It contains material on: � current techniques for PID controller design; � stabilization of linear time-invariant plants using PID controllers; � optimal design with PID controllers; � robust and non-fragile PID controller design; � stabilization of first-order systems with time delay; � constant-gain stabilization with desired damping � constant-gain stabilization of discrete-time plants.Typham this is the title: Structure and Synthesis of PID Controllers
