Model Parameter And Time Delay Estimation Using Gradient Methods, Aidan O'Dwyer, John Ringwood
Model Parameter And Time Delay Estimation Using Gradient Methods, Aidan O'Dwyer, John Ringwood
Conference papers
A number of approaches have been proposed for parameter and time delay estimation of process models in single input, single output (SISO) control systems using gradient descent algorithms; some of these approaches involve the selection of a rational polynomial that is used to approximate time delay variations. This paper takes a generalised approach to the investigation of the most appropriate choice of the rational polynomial, and the gradient descent algorithm, to be used.

A Frequency Domain Based Self-Tuning Pid Controller, John Ringwood, Aidan O'Dwyer
Conference papers
Traditionally, both explicit and implicit self-tuning controllers have employed time domain techniques for the identification and tracking of plant and controller parameters. The use of the frequency domain provides concise information on the dynamics of the process which has led to its wide acceptance as a domain for controller design. This paper demonstrates a method employing recursive, on-line measurement of the process frequency response, with a straightforward calculation of PID controller parameters. The computational effort involved is comparable with that of a time domain technique.
