Iterative Methods for Identification of Multiple-input Continuous-time Systems with Unknown Time Delays

  • Chapter
Identification of Continuous-time Models from Sampled Data

Part of the book series: Advances in Industrial Control ((AIC))

Abstract

Many practical systems such as thermal processes, chemical processes and biological systems, etc., have inherent time delay. If the time delay used in the system model for controller design does not coincide with the actual process time delay, a closed-loop system may be unstable or exhibit unacceptable transient response characteristics. Therefore, the problem of identifying such a system is of great importance for analysis, synthesis and prediction.
