Abstract

Nowadays, with the rise of computing power, control-relevant identification methods have gained attention in various industrial applications, incorporating the requirements for control design into the process of system identification. Mathematical identification of stable linear dynamical systems is a widely studied problem in the literature, and it is prevalently performed in open-loop structures that may lead to high-order models suitable for control system design with imposed control objectives. However, in the case of unstable systems identification can become a challenge task, and usually is performed using closed-loop identification techniques. This paper presents the control-relevant identification approach for two kinds of unstable processes. The contribution focuses on establishing a well-fitted identified model by using a strategy that involves collecting data from the closed-loop system’s operation with a proportional controller when the system achieves an underdamped step response. In addition, a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller for each process was synthesized using maximal stability degree method. Concerning identification, the simulation results were compared with those of the genetic algorithm and offered better model estimation than the genetic algorithm. On the other hand, it is also demonstrated that the designed control algorithm offered a high degree of stability to the system and is more reliable in stabilizing the behavior of the unstable system than the genetic algorithm and the parametric optimization method.
