PID control, which is discussed in Chapter 9, may be recommended for Type 3 systems when the output in a feedback system is required to perfectly track a parabolic as well as step and ramp reference signals (Papadopoulos, 2013). In the system of Figure P7.29, the transfer functions of the plant, GP(s), and the recommended controller, GC(s), are given by: \(G_P(s)\) = \(\frac{127 e^{-0.2 s}}{s(s+1)(s+2)(s+5)^2(s+10)}\) \(G_C(s)\) = \(\frac{\left(92.9 s^2+13.63 s+1\right)}{97.6 s^2(0.1 s+1)}\) Use Simulink to model this system and plot its response (from 0 to 300 seconds) to a unit-step reference input, r(t), applied at t = 0, and (on the same graph) to a disturbance, d(t) = 0.25 r (t), applied at t = 150 seconds. What are the values of the steady-state error due to the reference input and due to the disturbance? What about the relative stability of this Type 3 system as evidenced by the percent overshoot in response to the unit-step reference input?

A Type 3 feedback control system (Papadopoulos, 2013) was presented in Problem 60. Modify the Simulink model you developed in that problem to plot its response (from 0 to 100 seconds) to a unit-ramp reference input, r(t)=tu(t), applied at t = 0, and (on the same graph) to a disturbance, d(t) = 0.25tu(t), applied at t = 50 seconds.

Then, in that copy, change the reference input to a unit parabola, r(t) = 0.5 \(t^2\) u(t), applied at t = 0, and the disturbance to d(t) = 0.125\(t^2\) u(t), applied at t = 50 seconds, and plot, on a new graph (Scope 1), the system’s response to these parabolic signals.

Motion control, which includes position or force control, is used in robotics and machining. Force control requires the designer to consider two phases: contact and noncontact motions. Figure P7.30(a) is a diagram of a mechanical system for force control under contact motion. A force command, \(F_{cmd}(s), is the input to the system, while the output, F(s), is the controlled contact force. In the figure a motor is used as the force actuator. The force output from the actuator is applied to the object through a force sensor. A block diagram representation of the system is shown in Figure P7.30(b). \(K_2\) is velocity feedback used to improve the transient response. The loop is actually implemented by an electrical loop (not shown) that controls the armature current of the motor to yield the desired torque at the output. Recall that \(T_m\) = \(K_t i_a\) (Ohnishi, 1996). Find an expression for the range of \(K_2\) to keep the steady-state force error below 10% for ramp inputs of commanded force.

This system can be represented by the block diagram of Figure P7.13 with the plant model in the P(s) block, the AQM algorithm in the G(s) block, and F(s) = H(s) = 1. Several AQM algorithms are available, but one that has received special attention in the literature is the random early detection (RED) algorithm. This algorithm can be approximated with G(s) = \(\frac{L K}{s+K}\), where L and K are constants (Hollot, 2001). Find the value of L required to obtain a 10% steady-state error for a unit step input when C = 3750 packets/s, N = 50 TCP sessions, R = 0.1 s, and K = 0.005.

The system is controlled in a closed loop configuration as shown with G(s) = \(K_P+\frac{K_I}{s}\), a proportional-plus-integral (PI) controller to be discussed in Chapter 9. R(s) is the joint's desired angular position. D(s) is an external disturbance, possibly caused by improper dynamics modeling, Coulomb friction, or other external forces acting on the joint. a. Find the system's type. b. Show that for a step disturbance input, \(e_{\mathrm{ss}}\) = 0 when \(K_I \neq 0\). c. Find the value of \(K_I\) that will result in \(e_{\mathrm{ss}}\) = 5% for a parabolic input. d. Using the value of \(K_I\) found in Part c, find the range of \(K_P\) for closed-loop stability.

Control of HIV/AIDS. Consider the HIV infection model of Problem 68 in Chapter 6 and its block diagram in Figure P6.17 (Craig, 2004). a. Find the system's type if G(s) is a constant. b. It was shown in Problem 68, Chapter 6, that when G(s) = K the system will be stable when \(K<2.04 \times 10^{-4}\). What value of K will result in a unit step input steady-state error of 10%? c. It is suggested that to reduce the steady-state error the system's type should be augmented by making G(s) = \(\frac{K}{s}\). Is this a wise choice? What is the resulting stability range for K?

Hybrid vehicle. Figure P7.31 shows the block diagram of the speed control of an HEV taken from Figure P5.53, and rearranged as a unity feedback system (Preitl, 2007). Here the system output is C(s) = \(K_{S S}\)V(s), the output voltage of the speed sensor/transducer. a. Assume the speed controller is given as \(G_{S C}(\mathrm{~s})\) = \(K_{P_{S C}}\). Find the gain, \(K_{P_{S C}}\), that yields a steady-state error, \(e_{\text {step }}(\infty)\) = 1%. b. Now assume that in order to reduce the steady-state error for step inputs, integration is added to the controller yielding \(G_{S C}(s)\) = \(K_{P_{S C}}+\left(K_{I_{S C}} / s\right)\) = \(\left.100+\left(K_{I_{s c}} / s\right)\right)\). Find the value of the integral gain, \(K_{I_{s c}}\), that results in a steady-state error, \(e_{\text {ramp }}(\infty)\) = 2.5%. c. In Parts a and b, the HEV was assumed to be driven on level ground. Consider the case when, after reaching a steady-state speed with a controller given by \(G_{SC}(s)\) = 100 + \(\frac{40}{s}\), the car starts climbing up a hill with a gradient angle, \(\alpha\) = \(5^{\circ}\). For small angles sin \(\alpha\) = \(\alpha\) (in radians) and, hence, when reflected to the motor shaft the climbing torque is \(T_{s t}\) = \(\frac{F_{s t} r}{i_{\text {tot }}}=\frac{m g r}{i_{\text {tot }}} \sin \alpha=\frac{m g r \alpha}{i_{\text {tot }}}\) = \(\frac{1590 \times 9.8 \times 0.3 \times 5}{4.875 \times 57.3}=83.7 \mathrm{Nm}\). The block diagram in Figure P7.32 represents the control system of the HEV rearranged for Part c. In this diagram, the input is \(T_{s t}(t)\) = 83.7 u(t), corresponding to \(\alpha\) = \(5^{\circ}\), and the output is the negative error, -e(t) = -c(t) = \(-K_{S S} v(t)\), proportional to the change in car speed, v(t). Find the steady-state error \(e(\infty)\) due to a step change in the disturbance; e.g., the climbing torque, \(T_{s t}(t)\) = 83.7 u(t).

Parabolic trough collector. The parabolic trough collector (Camacho, 2012) is embedded in a unit feedback configuration as shown in Figure P7.1, where G(s) = \(G_C(s) P(s)\) and P(s) = \(\frac{137.2 \times 10^{-6}}{s^2+0.0224 s+196 \times 10^{-6}} e^{-39 s}\) a. Assuming \(G_C(s)\) = K, find the value of K required for a unit-step input steady-state error of 3%. Use the result you obtained in Problem 70, Chapter 6, to verify that the system is closed-loop stable when that value of K is used. b. What is the minimum unit-step input steady-state error achievable with \(G_C(s)\) = K? c. What is the simplest compensator, \(G_C(s)\), that can be used to achieve a steady-state error of 0%?
