Comparison Of Two B-Polynomial Methods: Application To The Identification Of Time Delayed Processes, Ruiyao Gao, Aidan O'Dwyer Jan 2001

Comparison Of Two B-Polynomial Methods: Application To The Identification Of Time Delayed Processes, Ruiyao Gao, Aidan O'Dwyer

Conference papers

An extensive literature exists on the estimation of the model parameters of time delayed processes. The objective of this paper is to review the main B-polynomial approaches to the delay estimation problem. More specifically, two algorithms are discussed and compared theoretically and in simulation. The algorithms involve various procedures to assess how the model relates to the observed data, to a priori knowledge, and to the algorithms’ intended use. Simulation results indicate that both the algorithms can suitably identify the model parameters, including the time delay. This paper also discusses advantages and disadvantages of the methods and gives some guidelines …


Pi And Pid Controller Tuning Rule Design For Processes With Delay, To Achieve Constant Gain And Phase Margins For All Values Of Delay, Aidan O'Dwyer Jan 2001

Pi And Pid Controller Tuning Rule Design For Processes With Delay, To Achieve Constant Gain And Phase Margins For All Values Of Delay, Aidan O'Dwyer

Conference papers

This paper will discuss the design of PI and PID controller tuning rules to compensate processes with delay, that are modelled in a number of ways. The rules allow the achievement of constant gain and phase margins as the delay varies.


A Wideband Monopole For Reconfigurable Multiband Radio Terminals, Max Ammann Jan 2001

A Wideband Monopole For Reconfigurable Multiband Radio Terminals, Max Ammann

Conference papers

A wideband planar monopole employing two broadbanding techniques is investigated, and is shown to yield an impedance bandwidth ratio of 10:1 or greater for a return loss of 8 dB. The radiation pattern bandwidth is also investigated

Experimental Investigation Of Performance Of A Single Phase Upqc For Voltage Sensitive And Non-Linear Loads, Malabika Basu, S. P. Das, Gopal K. Dubey Jan 2001

Experimental Investigation Of Performance Of A Single Phase Upqc For Voltage Sensitive And Non-Linear Loads, Malabika Basu, S. P. Das, Gopal K. Dubey

Conference papers

A unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) is proposed in this paper. It protects the consumer at the load end from supply voltage sag, and provides unity power factor condition at the utility for different values of load power factor. A PC-based closed loop control scheme is proposed and experimental investigation is carried out in the laboratory. Selected experimental results are reported along with control circuit and phasor diagram to validate the proposition.
