Quantitative Tuning of Active Disturbance Rejection Controller for FOPTD Model With Application to Power Plant Control

Abstract

Active disturbance rejection controller (ADRC) has achieved soaring success in motion controls featured by rapid dynamics. However, it turns obstreperous to implement it in the power plant process with considerable time-delay, largely because of the tuning difficulty. To this end, this article proposes a quantitative tuning rule for the time-delayed ADRC (TD-ADRC) structure based on the typical first order plus time delay (FOPTD) model. By compensating the FOPTD process as an integrator plus time delay in low frequencies, the gain parameter of TD-ADRC can be related to a scaled time constant which shapes the closed-loop tracking performance. Bandwidth parameter of extended state observer is scaled as a dimensionless parameter. A sufficient stability condition of TD-ADRC is theoretically derived in terms of the scaled parameter pair, the range of which falls within the practical interest. Relative delay margin is revealed as a critical robustness metric among others, a default pair of scaled parameter setting is recommended as well as an explicit retuning guideline according to the user's preference for performance or robustness. Simulation and laboratory water tank experiment validate the tuning efficacy and a coal mill temperature control test depicts a promising prospective of the proposed method in process control practice.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The ESO component has been amended over time to accommodate ADRC operation in industrial applications, including robotic systems, power plants, teleoperation systems, and piezoelectric-related medical fields.

    “Therefore, to mitigate the effects of different types of uncertainties acting on a concerned system, the ESO component has been amended over time to accommodate the ADRC operation in industrial applications; for example, in robotic systems [10], power plants [11], teleoperation systems [12], and piezoelectric-related medical fields [13].”

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.
