Static compensator for nonsquare systems – application example

Abstract

The paper deals with the decentralized control of multivariable systems with the number of manipulated variables greater than the number of controlled variables. Proposed static compensator ensures automatic creation of input/output pairs for the simple control loops. The compensator provides steady-state autonomy and unit gain of the controlled system. Steady-state gain matrix and vector of the off-sets are enough information for the compensator design. Laboratory example is presented to demonstrate innovative compensator design and its application.
