Evaluation of time delay requirements for closed-loop stability using classical and modern methods

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6237402
This paper uses classical and modern methods for computing the maximum allowable time delay a closed-loop system can tolerate before destabilizing. Maximum allowable time delays are computed using both methods for three control systems previously designed for a simple process. The three control systems are proportional plus integral (PI), linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG), and linear quadratic Gaussian with loop transfer recovery (LQG/LTR). The allowable time delays obtained from the modern method are compared with the results of the well established classical method for single input-single output (SISO) systems. 5 refs., 4 figs., 5 tabs.
