In this paper, a modified two degrees of freedom Smith control structure is proposed to realize tradeoff tuning strategy between the dynamic performance and system robustness based on analytical optimization of internal model control proportion integration differentiation design method. By analyzing the stability performance of the modified Smith control structure, the control characteristic between the modified Smith control structure and two adjustment parameters is obtained. The different input responses are discussed based on the performance of modified control system. Moreover, the set point response and the disturbance response of the closed-loop system are adjusted by two parameters, respectively. The multiplicative uncertainty plant is imposed into the modified Smith control system to analyze the system robustness from the aspect of the structure uncertainty. The proposed control strategy is applied to the second order plus delay time plant. The simulation result reflects that the modified Smith control structure is the method which is based on the tradeoff between the performance and the robustness tuning strategy.

This paper is aimed to propose a multiloop control scheme for fractional order multi-input multi-output (FO-MIMO) systems. It is an extension of the FO-multiloop controller design method developed for integer order multivariable systems to FO-MIMO ones. The interactions among the control loops are considered as disturbances and a two degrees-of-freedom (2DOF) paradigm is used to deal with the process outputs performance and the interactions reduction effect, separately. The proposed controller design method is simple, in relation with the desired closed-loop specifications and a tuning parameter. It presents an interest in controlling complex MIMO systems since fractional order models (FO-models) represent some real processes better than integer order ones and high order systems can be approximated by FO-models. Two examples are considered and compared with other existing methods to evaluate the proposed controller.

According to the characteristics of the internal model control and feed-forward control and Combining the both advantages, the compound control system of the internal model add feed-forward compensator was designed. In order to improve the dynamic performance of the control system, online identification method is adopted to establish the internal model. The designs of the internal model controller and feed-forward compensator were detailed instructions. The simulation shows that the compound control system have not only good dynamic performance, high tracking precision and strong anti-jamming capability, but also have the change of system parameters with strong robustness.

In drilling field, drill-strings stick-slip vibration is a common phenomenon and may lead to a series of drilling accidents. In order to improve drilling efficiency, this paper commits to study a new control system to suppress the undesired stick-slip vibration. In this work, a two degrees of freedom lumped parameter model is established to imitate the drill-strings. A state observer is proposed to estimate the unknown drill-strings states. A reference governor is put forward to optimize drilling parameters. In addition, in order to enhance the anti-interference ability of the closed-loop system, a torque feed forward is introduced into the control system. Based on the state observer and the reference governor, a state feedback and torque feed forward combined controller is designed. The simulation results indicate preliminarily that the designed state feedback and torque feed forward controller, compared with the drilling industry PI controller, has better dynamic performance and stronger ability to eliminate the drill-strings stick-slip vibration. Finally, the control system is applied in the drilling field. The experimental tests demonstrate that the designed controller can effectively suppress the drill-strings stick-slip vibration.

To enable more efficient production of hydrocarbons on the seabed in waters where traditional separator equipment is infeasible, the offshore oil and gas industry is leaning towards more compact separation equipment. A novel multi-pipe separator concept, designed to meet the challenges of subsea separation, has been developed at the Department of Geoscience and Petroleum at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. In this initial study, a control structure analysis for the novel separator concept, based on step-response experiments, is presented. Proportional-integral controllers and model reference adaptive controllers are designed for the different control loops. The proportional-integral controllers are tuned based on the well-established simple internal model control tuning rules. Both control methods are implemented and tested on a prototype of the separator concept. Different measurements are controlled, and results show that the performance of the separator under varying inlet conditions can be improved with proper selection of control inputs and measurements.

As known, internal model control is equivalent to a PI or a PID controller provided that the mathematical model associated to the process to be controlled is of first or second order respectively. So, to go beyond these particular cases and to make an extension in bringing more theoretical results, the article proposes a method to reach the equivalence between an internal model control and a PI controller regardless of the model order. To this end, the key idea consists of using a specific filter that exhibits superior robustness level compared to the classical filter and further leads to get a structure of a PI controller whatever the order of the model is. The developed procedure constitutes the main contribution of this article. To meet given set of specifications, the controller parameters are tuned through a straightforward analytic way using the dynamics of the tracking error. The proposed tuning strategy constitutes another contribution of the article. Furthermore, to evaluate the efficiency level of this procedure, an application to control an autonomous vehicle is described and the simulation results are shown to be satisfactory confirmed by a series of experimental tests.

A novel PID controller identification method based on internal model control structure is proposed. The proposed method avoids the necessity of approximating the time delay for designing the PID controller. It results in a robust and effective PID controller tuning. The method is effective for both time constant and time delay dominant systems, with much improved performance for the latter case.
