Improvement of Control System Performance by Modification of Time Delay

Abstract

This paper presents a mathematical approach for improving the performance of a control system by modifying the time delay at certain operating conditions. This approach converts a continuous time loop into a discrete time loop. The formula derived is applied successfully to an applicable control system. The results show that the proposed approach efficiently improves the control system performance. The relation between the sampling time and the time delay is obtained. Two different operating conditions are examined to assess the proposed approach in improving the performance of the control system.
