ConcludingInsights

Compensators• Early in the course we provided some useful guidelines

regarding the relationships between the pole positionsof a system and certain aspects of its performance

• Using root locus techniques, we have seen how thepole positions of a closed loop can be adjusted byvarying a parameter

• What happens if we are unable to obtain thatperformance that we want by doing this?

• Ask ourselves whether this is really the performancethat we want

• Ask whether we can change the system,say by buying different components

• seek to compensate for the undesirable aspects of theprocess

ConcludingInsights

Cascade compensation

• Usually, the plant is a physical process• If commands and measurements are made electrically,

compensator is often an electric circuit• General form of the compensator is

Gc(s) =Kc

∏Mi=1(s + zi)∏n

j=1(s + pj)

• Therefore, the cascade compensator adds open looppoles and open loop zeros

• These will change the shape of the root locus

ConcludingInsights

Compensator design

• Where should we put new poles and zeros to achievedesired performance?

• That is the art of compensator design

• We will consider first order compensators of the form

Gc(s) =Kc(s + z)

(s + p)=

K̃c(1 + s/z)

(1 + s/p), where K̃c = Kcz/p

• with the pole −p in the left half plane• and the zero, −z in the left half plane, too

• For reasons that will soon become clear• when |z| < |p|: phase lead network• when |z| > |p|: phase lag network

Lead compensation

Gc(s) =Kc(s + z)

(s + p)

with |z| < |p|. That is, zero closer to origin than pole

Let p = 1/τp and z = 1/(αleadτp). Since z < p, αlead > 1.Define K̃c = Kcz/p = Kc/αlead. Then

Gc(s) =Kc(s + z)

(s + p)=

K̃c(1 + αleadτps)

ConcludingInsights

Principles of Lead design viaRoot Locus

• The compensator adds poles and zeros to the P(s) inthe root locus procedure.

• Hence we can change the shape of the root locus.

• If we can capture desirable performance in terms ofpositions of closed loop poles

• then compensator design problem reduces to:• changing the shape of the root locus so that these

desired closed-loop pole positions appear on the rootlocus

• finding the gain that places the closed-loop polepositions at their desired positions

• What tools do we have to do this?• Phase criterion and magnitude criterion, respectively

ConcludingInsights

Root Locus Principles• The point s0 is on the root locus of P(s) if 1 + KP(s0) = 0.

• In first order compensator design with G(s) =KG

QMi=1(s+zi )Qn

j=1(s+pj )

and Gc = Kc(s+z)(s+p) , we have P(s) = (s+z)

(s+p)

QMi=1(s+zi )Qnj=1(s+pj )

andK = KcKG. We will restrict attention to the case of K > 0

• Phase cond. s0 is on root locus if ∠P(s0) = 180◦ + k360◦:

M∑i=1

(angle from −zi to s0)−n∑

j=1

(angle from −pj to s0)

+ (angle from −z to s0)− (angle from −p to s0)= 180◦ + k 360◦

• Mag. cond. If s0 satisfies phase condition, the gain that putsa closed-loop pole at s0 is K = 1/|P(s0)|:

K =

∏nj=1(dist from −pj to s0)∏Mi=1(dist from −zi to s0)

× (dist from −p to s0)

(dist from −z to s0)

ConcludingInsights

RL design: Basic procedure1 Translate design specifications into desired positions of

dominant poles

2 Sketch root locus of uncompensated system to see if desiredpositions can be achieved

3 If not, choose the positions of the pole and zero of thecompensator so that the desired positions lie on the rootlocus (phase criterion), if that is possible

4 Evaluate the gain required to put the poles there(magnitude criterion)

5 Evaluate the total system gain so that the steady-state errorconstants can be determined

6 If the steady state error constants are not satisfactory, repeat

This procedure enables relatively straightforward design ofsystems with specifications in terms of rise time, settling time, andovershoot; i.e., the transient response.For systems with steady-state error specifications, Bode (andNyquist) methods may be more straightforward (later)

Lead Comp. example

Consider a case with G(s) = 1s(s+2) and H(s) = 1.

Design a lead compensator to achieve:

• damping coefficient ζ ≈ 0.45 and

• velocity error constant Kv = lims→0 sGc(s)G(s) > 20

• swift transient response (small settling time)

What to do?

• Can we achieve this with proportional control?

• If not we will attempt lead control

ConcludingInsights

Lead compensated design

• Plot poles of G(s).Where should the closed-loop poles be? cos−1(0.45) ≈ 60◦

• Note that the settling time is not specified; it only needs to besmall. This provides design flexibility.

• However, we need a large Kv which will require large gain.Need desired positions far from open loop poles.

• Let’s start with desired roots at −4± j8• This pair has Ts = 1s and ωn =

√42 + 82 ≈ 8.9

Lead Comp. example

• Now where to put the zero and pole? (Centroid denoted ca)

• Rule of thumb: put zero under desired root, or just to the left

• Determine position of the pole using angle criterion∑angles from OL zeros−

∑angles from OL poles = 180◦

∼ 90− (116 + 104 + θp) = 180=⇒ θp ≈ 50

• Hence pole at −p ≈ −10.86

ConcludingInsights

What to do now?

• We tried hard, but did not achieve the design specs• Let’s go back and re-examine our choices• Zero position of compensator was chosen via rule of

thumb• Can we do better?

Yes, but two parameter design becomes trickier.• What were other choices that we made?• We chose desired poles to be of magnitude ωn ≈ 8.9• We could choose them to be further away

(faster transient response)• By how much?• Show that when desired poles have ωn = 10 as well as

the required ζ ≈ 0.45, then the choice of z ≈ 4.47,p ≈ 12.5 and KC ≈ 125 results in Kv ≈ 22.3

ConcludingInsights

Outcomes• Root locus approach to phase lead design was

reasonably successful in terms of putting dominantpoles in desired positions; e.g., in terms of ζ and ωn

• We did this by positioning the pole and zero of the leadcompensator so as to change the shape of the rootlocus

• However, root locus approach does not provideindependent control over steady-state error constants(details upcoming)

• That said, since lead compensators reduce the DC gain(they resemble differentiators), they are not normallyused to control steady-state error.

• The goal of our lag compensator design will be toincrease the steady-state error constants, withoutmoving the other poles too far

Design Principles

• We don’t try to reshape the uncompensated root locus.

• We just try to increase the value of the desired error constantby a factor αlag = z/p without moving the poles (well notmuch)

• Reshaping was the goal of lead compensator design

ConcludingInsights

Lag compensator design

Design principles:• Don’t reshape the root locus

• Adding the open loop pole and zero from thecompensator should only result in a small change to theangle criterion for any point on the uncompensated rootlocus

• Angles from compensator pole and zero to any point onthe locus must be similar

• Pole and zero must be close together

• Increase value of error constant:• Want to have a large value for αlag = z/p.• How can that happen if z and p are close together?• Only if z and p are both small, i.e., close to the origin

Lag comp. design via RootLocus

1 Obtain the root locus of uncompensated system2 From transient performance specs, locate suitable

dominant pole positions on that locus3 Obtain the loop gain for these points, K = KPKG;

hence the (closed-loop) steady-state error constant4 Calculate the necessary increase. Hence αlag = z/p5 Place pole and zero close to the origin (with respect to

desired pole positions), with z = αlagp.Typically, choose z and p so that their angles to desiredpoles differ by less than 1◦.

6 Set KC = KP

What if there is nothing suitable at step 2?• Perhaps do lead compensation first,• then lag compensation on lead compensated plant.

i.e., design a lead-lag compensator

• Complex conjugate poles still dominate• Closed-loop zero at -0.1 (which is also an open-loop

zero) reduces impact of closed-loop pole at -0.104; seealso slide 48 of Section 3: Fundamentals of Feedback

ConcludingInsights

Insights

• If we would like to improve the transient performance ofa closed loop

• We can try to place the dominant closed-loop poles indesired positions

• One approach to doing that is lead compensator design• However, that typically requires the use of an amplifier

in the compensator, and hence requires a power supply• Broadening of bandwidth improves transient

performance but exposes loop to noise

• If we would like to improve the steady-state errorperformance of a closed loop without changing thedominant transient features too much

• We can consider designing a lag compensator toprovide the required gain

• However, that typically produces a “weak” slow pole thatslows the decay to steady state
