This monograph presents a new analytical approach to the design of
proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers for linear
time-invariant plants. The authors develop a computer-aided procedure,
to synthesize PID controllers that satisfy multiple design
specifications. A geometric approach, which can be used to determine
such designs methodically using 2- and 3-D computer graphics is the
result.
The text expands on the computation of the complete stabilizing set
previously developed by the authors and presented here. This set is then
systematically exploited to achieve multiple design specifications
simultaneously. These specifications include classical gain and phase
margins, time-delay tolerance, settling time and H-infinity norm bounds.
The results are developed for continuous- and discrete-time systems. An
extension to multivariable systems is also included.
Analytical Design of PID Controllers provides a novel method of
designing PID controllers, which makes it ideal for both researchers and
professionals working in traditional industries as well as those
connected with unmanned aerial vehicles, driverless cars and autonomous
robots.
