A Simple Analytical Method for Estimation of the Five-Parameter Model: Second-Order with Zero Plus Time Delay

Abstract

Process models play an important role in the process industry. They are used for simulation purposes, quality control, fault detection, and control design. Many researchers have been engaged in model identification. However, it is difficult to find an analytical identification method that provides a good model and requires a relatively simple experiment. This is the advantage of the method of moments. In this paper, an analytical method based on the measurement of the process moments (characteristic areas) is proposed, to identify the five-parameter model (second-order process with zero plus time delay) from either the closed-loop or open-loop time responses of the process (in the time-domain), or the general-order transfer function with time delay (in the frequency-domain). The only parameter required by the user is the type of process (minimum phase or non-minimum phase process), which in practice can be easily determined from the time response of the process. The method can also be used to reduce the higher-order process model. The proposed identification method was tested on several illustrative examples, and compared to other identification methods. The comparison with existing methods showed the superiority of the proposed method. Moreover, the tests confirmed that the algorithm of the proposed method works properly for a wide family of process models, even in the presence of moderate process noise.

“…When the error related to the frequency response data and model was zero, the left side of ( 8) was also zero. When we replaced N(s) and D(s) with the polynomials from (5), the result was (9).…”

“…The model was fitted by a gradient search type based on the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm, and the error model was improved by adding zero to second-order standard forms. Tomaz K. and Damir [9] presented an analytical method for estimation of a five-parameter model in second-order with zero plus time delay. The proposed method uses information in characteristic areas from arbitrary change in the steady state of the process to calculate parameters of model.…”

“…In Kos and Vranči ć [17], an analytical method based on process moments for estimating a second-order (SO) system with zero plus time delay is presented. The identification can be performed starting from either closed-loop or open-loop time response data.…”
