This paper focuses on the characterization of the maximum exponential decay rate for first-order time-delay systems in closed-loop with PI controllers. Studying the geometry of the stability domain associated with the closed-loop system at hand, a fully analytical tuning rule is derived to achieve an optimal response in terms of velocity of the output response. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is illustrated via numerical simulations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
