Abstract

A novel method to tune a Proportional-Integral (PI) compensator for an integrating plus dead time (IPDT) process, in presence of interval parametric uncertainty, is presented. The design is based on optimization of load disturbance rejection with constraints on the magnitude of the sensitivity and complementary sensitivity functions, that must be satisfied for any element belonging to a set of plants. Instead of solving this problem with a brute force approach (grid the uncertainty set), we prove that this problem can be solved by considering only two plants. That lets us to obtain a tuning rule, after using some approximations. To conclude, some examples will be given in order to elucidate the usefulness of the proposed tuning rule.
