Design of a Non-iterative First-Order Compensator for Type 1 Higher Order Systems

Abstract

Most of the real-time systems used in control applications are of higher order. Implementation of the controller requires dynamic and intelligent tuning to achieve the desired time response in control applications. An attempt is made in this article to extend the use of a simple first-order non-iterative compensator used in a Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) drive-based position control system to type 1 higher order systems. The compensator is found to yield the desired frequency response specifications with lesser overshoot and settling time than those of the conventional lag and lead compensators for various type 1 higher order systems.
