Abstract

Disturbance rejection and time-delay compensation are important for control systems in practice. This article presents an observer-and-predictor-based method to reject an unknown exogenous disturbance for an input-delay system in which only delayed output is available. First, the equivalent-input-disturbance method is employed to reconstruct the system state and to estimate the disturbance. A prediction of the disturbance is calculated to reduce the effect of a phase lag caused by the delays. A new predictive scheme is designed for feedback control. Next, the system is divided into two subsystems for analysis and design: one for reference tracking and the other for disturbance rejection. Sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee the system’s stability. An analysis of the method reveals that the disturbance rejection can be viewed as a patch to the predictor-based feedback control. Finally, two case studies are used to show the validity and superiority of the method.
