Abstract:

For the typical first-order systems with time-delay, this paper explors the control capability of linear active disturbance rejection control (LADRC). Firstly, the critical time-delay of LADRC is analyzed using the frequency-sweeping method and the Routh criterion, and the stable time-delay interval starting from zero is accurately obtained, which reveals the limitations of general LADRC on large time-delay. Then in view of the large time-delay, an LADRC controller is developed and verified to be effective, along with the robustness analysis. Finally, numerical simulations show the accuracy of critical time-delay, and demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed controller compared with other modified LADRCs.

Key words: active disturbance rejection control, frequency-sweeping method, critical time-delay, Routh criterion, system with large time-delay
