This paper presents a new approach to the AFR (Air-to-Fuel Ratio) control problem, which is based on the wide-band oxygen sensor output. The dedicated nonlinear controller is based on the feedback lineaization technique. It is well known that the feedback linearizing control technique requires an exact model of the plant for the cancellation of plant nonlinearities. A sliding mode control scheme is applied which can effectively compensate the modeling uncertainties. The measurement time delay of an oxygen sensor limits the gain of the feedback controller. Hence, time delay compensation procedure is necessary for the improvement of control performance. The Smith predictor is adopted to compensate the effects of time delay. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed controllers can effectively reduce the transient peaks of AFR in spite of fast tip-in and tip-out maneuvers of the throttle.

The practical control problems for the time-delay system is considered. The delay-free characteristics of the Smith Predictor is available only when both the process and it's model are exactly matched. So it does not used widely in practical industrial processes. In this paper, using the 2nd-order plus deadtime model in place of the plant model of the Smith predictor, the proposed controller shows the improved performance in case of the very long time delay. And the range of integral constant of the PI controller is also proposed.

This paper present a controller design scheme for time-delay system. The Smith Predictor has been proposed to solve the problem of time-delay. But this structure has a condition that parameters of plant and model have to be matched accurately. Because of this condition, it is not applied broadly in practical industrial process field. In this paper, the 2nd-order model with dead-time is used as plant model of the Smith Predictor and a main controller is designed by using the effect of mismatch between plant and model.

In recent years, owing to the development of the image processing technology, the research to build control system using a vision sensor is stimulated. However, a random time delay must be considered, because it works of a various time to get a result of an image processing in the system. It can be seen as an obstacle factor to a control of visual tracking in real system. In this paper, implementing two vision controllers each, first one is made up PID controller and the second one is consisted of a Smith Predictor, the possibility was shown to overcome a problem of a random time delay in a visual tracking system. A number of simulations and experiments were done to show the validity of this study.

In this paper, A dead-time compensator (DTC) for the processes with long dead-time is proposed. The processes which consist of dead-time, time-constant, gain are estimated by the linear least squares method in the frequency domain. A Smith predictor(SP) modified by including a filter becomes a two degree of freedom DTC. So the proposed DTC can yield the desirable setpoint and load disturbance responses separately. PI controller is used for the primary controller and the filter is tuned to be robust. Simulation examples demonstrate the properties of the proposed DTC.

A process control language is developed using function block configuration, to simplify software development for large scale process control systems, and to implement advanced control algorithms with ease. A function block parser and controller is implemented to be suitable for multi-loop control systems having hierachical structure. On-line change of controller parameter is possible, and inclusion of user defined function block is also possible. By adding plant model block, control performance can be checked in advance. Function blocks of the Smith Predicotor, auto-tuners are implemented to demonstrate usefulness of function block configuration.

The inevitable calculation time delay of digital controller especially degrades the voltage control performance of three-phase UPS systems. This paper proposes time delay compensators based on the Smith-predictor for both voltage and current controllers of three-level NPC inverters. The PSIM-based simulation results show that the proposed controller with delay compensator gives improved voltage control performance with respect to time delay.

In this paper, though Simith controller is also used, we propose a new system configuration which can be regarded an SISO continuous nth-order plant with time delay of k-times of a sampling period as a linear discrete (n + k)th order plant of which all state variables can be available. Consequently, we can pply linear control system design techniques which do not consider the existence of time delay to the proposed system.

The design and implementation of Generalized Minimum Variance control laws for nonlinear multivariable systems that can include severe nonlinearities is considered. The quadratic cost index minimised involves dynamically weighted error and nonlinear control signal costing terms. The aim here is to show the controller obtained is simple to design and implement. The features of the control law are explored. The controller obtained includes an internal model of the process and in one form is a nonlinear version of the Smith Predictor.

In this paper, we suggest PI control with a predictive controller to progress both energy saving and coefficient of performance(COP) in a variable speed refrigeration system. The capacity and superheat are controlled simultaneously and independently by an inverter and an electronic expansion valve respectively for saving energy and improving COP in the system. The refrigeration system has long dead time in superheat inherently. The dead time makes the system difficult to achieve the satisfactory quick control response, especially superheat control response. In order to solve this problem, we designed a predictive controller based on PI control to progress superheat control performance. The control performance was investigated through some experiments to verify the effectiveness of the predictive controller.
