Abstract

The aim of this work was to obtain a design for the proportional integral derivative controller in series with a second-order lead/lag filter for pure integrating process with time delay based on internal model control principle to achieve efficient disturbance rejection and robustness. A setpoint filter is introduced to reduce the overshoot in the setpoint response. Further, the robustness of the controller is examined by incorporating perturbations in the time delay parameter for model mismatch. The proposed method demonstrated good disturbance rejection and robustness in comparison with recently developed methods with the controller tuned to have same robustness rank with the calculation of the peak of maximum sensitivity \((M_S )\).
