On PID Controller Design by Combining Pole Placement Technique with Symmetrical Optimum Criterion

Abstract EN

In this paper, aspects of analytical design of PID controllers are studied, by combining pole placement technique with symmetrical optimum criterion.

The proposed method is based on low-order plant model with pure integrator, and it can be used for both fast and slow processes.

Starting from the desired closed-loop transfer function, which contains a second-order oscillating system and a lead-lag compensator, it is shown that the zero value depends on the real-pole value of closed-loop transfer function.

In addition, there is only one pole value, which satisfies the assumptions of symmetrical optimum criterion imposed to open-loop transfer function.

In these conditions, by combining the pole placement technique with symmetrical optimum criterion, the analytical expressions of the controller parameters can be simplified.

For simulations, PID autopilot design for heading control problem of a conventional ship is considered.
