This research comprehensively investigates the effect of uncertain time delay on performance of the deadbeat control. A solution based on a non-integer order Smith predictor has been proposed and analyzed to compensate uncertain time delays occurring in a stable closed loop system. Deadbeat control has been widely and conveniently used in the control of linear and non-linear systems. However, this control technique is severely sensitive to unmodeled dynamics and parameter uncertainties. Thus the performance of system may deviate significantly and hence lead to instability in practical cases. Time delay in a closed loop control system is a common source of unmodeled dynamics, which severely deteriorates control accuracy and results in reduced stability margin of the deadbeat control system. Physical system considered in this research work is a single-phase inverter. The simulation results indicate that the Smith predictor based deadbeat control scheme offers accurate time delay compensations and thus enhances the robustness and stability margin. Application example comprehensively illustrates effectiveness of the proposed control technique.
