Abstract

Using of a modified Smith predictor for compensation of measurable disturbances affecting a time-delay system is studied in this paper. The controlled system is a tubular heat exchanger, in which the kerosene is heated by hot water. The heat exchanger is a nonlinear system with time delay. The Smith predictor and the modified Smith predictor are used for control of the heat exchanger without and with disturbances. Obtained simulation results confirm that the modified Smith predictor with feed-forward compensation of measurable disturbances can improve the closed-loop control responses of the time delay systems with disturbances.
