Prediction-based feedback control of a class of processes with input-varying delay
Résumé
At the light of a simple tutorial example, this paper discusses the merits of a recently introduced technique to control a class of systems with a delay depending on the past values of the control variables. The relations of the proposed technique with previous works from the literature on predictor-based controllers are discussed. The treated example is representative of a wide class of systems often observed in process control and distributed parameter systems. The anticipating capabilities of the proposed controller yields interesting closed-loop performance.
