Abstract
If an external disturbance v of a process can be measured before it acts on the output variable y then the control performance with respect to this disturbance can often be improved by feedforward control, as shown in Figure 17.1. Here immediately after a change in the disturbance v the process input u is manipulated by a feedforward control G s which does not wait as with feedback control until the disturbance has effected the control variable y. Significant improvement in control performance, however, can only be obtained for a restricted manipulation range if the process behaviour G Pu is not slow compared with the disturbance behaviour G Pv.
