Data-driven approach for time-delay estimation of industrial processes
Abstract
An accurate estimate of time delay is of crucial importance for control tasks such as performance assessment and controller design. In this paper, a novel data-driven approach to time-delay estimation is developed for a process subject to industrial background disturbances, in which the closed-loop output data under the routine operating conditions is only required. The practical solutions are proposed to estimate the time delay based on the estimated impulse response of the closed loop that is estimated online by utilizing the output data. Without relying on system identification and any prior knowledge of the process as well, the time delay is estimated directly for a large time delayed process; while for a small time delayed process, the time delay is estimated by means of the stationarilized filter, the pre-filter and the loop filter. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated by various numerical and industrial examples including a distillation column, a petroleum refinery heating furnace and a ceramic dryer.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
