This paper gives a novel method to design less-conservative robust PID control systems. The partial model matching method is a design method for PID control systems. That is a method to design a control system that matches a reference model as closely as possible. This method does not guarantee robust stability of a PID control system because it is assumed that there are no uncertainties on the coefficients of the lower-order terms of the plant. Therefore, in our previous work, a robust design method based on the partial model matching method was proposed. However, the drawback of this conventional method is that the results of stability analysis are conservative. In this paper, we aim to reduce the conservativeness caused by the conventional method. To achieve this goal, we use a robust stability analysis method based on the Cremer-Leonhard-Mikhailov criterion and the mapping theorem. Moreover, we also propose a new method to update the value of a design parameter. A numerical example shown in this paper implies that the conservativeness is reduced by the proposed method.
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.
