INTRODUCTION



IMPROVING TRANSIENT RESPONSE

Rather than replacing the existing system with a system whose root locus intersects the desired design of point B, we can augment or compensate the system with additional poles and zeros – so that the compensated system has a root locus that goes through the desired pole location for some value of gain

Two methods – passive or active networkDisadvantages – system order can increase,

subsequently effect the desired responseOne method of compensating for transient response is to

insert differentiator in the forward path in parallel with the gain



IMPROVING STEADY STATE ERROR

Compensators are not only used to improve the transient response of a system, they are also used independently to improve steady state error characteristics

In Chapter 7 – steady state error can be improved by adding an open loop pole at the origin in forward path, thus increasing the system type and driving the associated steady state error to zero

This additional pole at the origin requires an integrator for its realization

LAG COMPENSATION

If use passive networks, the pole and zero are moved to the left, close to the origin

This placement usually will not increase the system type, but will yield an improvement in the static error constant over an uncompensated system

Although the ideal compensator drives the steady state error to zero, a lag compensator with a pole that is not at the origin will improve the static error constant by a factor equal to Zc/Pc

There will also minimal effect upon the transient response if the pole-zero pair of the compensator close to the origin

More on IDEAL DERIVATIVE COMPENSATION (PD Controller)

To speed up the original system, we can add a single zero to the forward path

This zero can be represented by a compensator whose transfer function is

Gc(S) = s + Zc

This function, the sum of a differentiator and a pure gain is called ideal derivative – PD controller

Zero is moved to a different position and for each compensated case, the dominant, second order poles are farther out along the 0.4 damping ratio line than the uncompensated system

However, each of the compensated case has dominant poles with the same damping ratio as the uncompensated case thus the percent overshoot is predicted to be similar for each case!

The compensated dominant, closed loop poles has more negative real parts than the uncompensated dominant, closed loop poles thus shorter settling time, Ts

On top of that smaller peak time, Tp

LEAD COMPENSATION

Similar to the active ideal integral that can be approximated with passive lag network, an active ideal integral can be approximated with a passive lead compensator

Pole is farther from the imaginary axis then the zero – will result in a positive angular distribution of the compensator and thus approximates an equivalent single zero
