A Comparative Analysis of PID, Lead, Lag, Lead-Lag, and Cascaded Lead Controllers for a Drug Infusion System

Abstract

Goal The aim of this paper is to conduct a comprehensive comparative analysis between five different controllers for a drug infusion system in total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) administration. Methods The proposed method models a dilution chamber with first order exponential decay characteristics to represent the pharmacokinetic decay of a drug. The dilution chamber is integrated with five different control techniques with a simulation-based comparative analysis performed between them. The design process is conducted using MATLAB SISOTOOL. Results The findings show that each controller has its own merits and demerits. The results generated using MATLAB signify and confirm the effectiveness of PI and cascaded lead controllers, with cascaded lead controller as the best control technique to automate and control the propofol delivery. Conclusion In this paper, different control techniques for measurement-based feedback-controlled propofol delivery is confirmed with promising results. Significance The comparative analysis showed that this drug infusion platform, merged with the proper control technique, will perform eminently in the field of total intravenous anesthesia.

Speed controller design for three-phase induction motor based on dynamic adjustment grasshopper optimization algorithm

“…In this research work, the phase-lead controller is used due to its superiority against conventional PI control action in terms of improve the dynamic performance as well as the transient response of the system. In case of a phase-lead compensator, the zero ( ) of the control law is located nearer to the origin of the S-plane as compared to the compensator's pole ( ) [20].…”

Battery Energy Storage System Control for Mitigating PV Penetration Impact on Primary Frequency Control and State-of-Charge Recovery

“…The limiter in lead-lag controller defines the boundary of power reference which is normally within the maximum capacity of BESS converter rating. The typical procedures of poles/zeros placing are discussed in [38], [39]. The transfer functions with calculated poles/zeros locations of lead-lag controller to generate active power reference can be written as in 7:…”

Battery Energy Storage System to Stabilize Transient Voltage and Frequency and Enhance Power Export Capability

“…In a lead compensator, the zero is placed closer to the origin than the pole and provides faster response by shifting the closed loop poles to the left of left hand s-plane. The detailed discussion on lead controller and PI-lead can be found in [31], [32]. To contribute in improved system response, a lead controller is added with conventional PI to regulate active/reactive power of BESS.…”

“…A Lead-lag controller is a combination of lead and lag controller to attain solitary benefit of reduced steady-state error i.e improved and reliable system stability and faster transient response by eliminating each controller's drawbacks. The detail working principles of a lead-lag controller can be found in [32], [33]. The limiter controls the output power reference within predefined boundary.…”
