On the controller switching time, even though on-line/off-line controller outputs are the same, a problem which deteriorates the performance of bumpless transfer can happen in case that any discrepancy between the two controller inputs is transferred directly to the controller output. In this paper, we analyze the cause of that phenomenon in existing research results and propose a new method which improves that problem. In order to solve this problem, the off-line controller is augmented to an anti-windup structure and an improved bumpless transfer method is derived by using the changed input of the off-line controller instead of the plant input. We exemplify the performance of the proposed method by comparing with the performance of the existing method via numerical examples.

In many industrial processes and operations, such as power plants, petrochemical industries and ships, shell and tube heat exchangers are widely used and probably applicable for a wide range of operating temperatures. The main purpose of a heat exchanger is to transfer heat between two or more medium with temperature differences. Heat exchangers are highly nonlinear, time-varying and show time lag behavior during operation. The temperature control of such processes has been challenging for control engineers and a variety of forms of PID controllers have been proposed to guarantee better performance. In this paper, a scheme to control the outlet temperature of a shell and tube heat exchanger system that combines the PID controller with feedforward control and anti-windup techniques is presented. A genetic algorithm is used to tune the parameters of the PID controller with anti-windup and the feedforward controller by minimizing the IAE (Integral of Absolute Error). Simulation works are performed to study the performance of the proposed method when applied to the process.

This paper presents a dynamical anti-reset windup (ARW) compensation method for saturating control systems with multiple controllers and/or multiloop configuration. By regarding the difference of the controller states in the absence and presence of saturating actuators as an objective function, the dynamical compensator which minimize the objective function are derived in an integrated fashion. The proposed dynamical compensator is a closed form of the plant and controller parameters. The proposed method guarantees total stability of resulting system. An illustrative example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

One of the undesirable nonlinear phenomenon called 'wind up' occours when the integrator in the controller and the saturated actuator interact. Large overshoot, slow response, instability, limit cycle and jump resonance are the characteristics of wind up phenomenon. Several 'anti-windup' compensators have been developed to prevent some of the aforementioned nonlinear characteristics such as instabilituy and limit cycle, but none has studied the effect of antiwindup compensator on the jump resonance. In this paper, we developed an analyitcal method to design the compensator to prevent not only limit cycle but also jump resonance. An illustrative example is included to show the compensator eliminates jump resonance of effectively.

When a saturating control system has integral action, reset windup can cause instability as well as make the system performance unsatisfactory. An antirset-windup (ARW) limiter has been suggested to improve the stability and performance. It has been implemented with analog circuits and tested by simulations. This paper presents the stability condition of a double-integrator plant having the state feedback plus integral-action controller with the ARW limiter by using both Liapunov's second method and graphical method together.

Though several previous anti-windup techniques have been proposed, they are limited to linear systems or friction is not considered. Thus this paper proposes a compensation scheme for input-constrained robot systems with friction to cope with the windup phenomenon and shows its effectiveness by simulations. Given a feedback linearizing controller for a robot system designed without considering its input constraint, an additional dynamic compensator is proposed to account for the constraint. The dynamic anti-windup is based on the minimization of a reasonable performance index, and properties of the resulting closed-loop are presented.

In this paper, the anti-windup schemes developed so far are summarized and the similarities/differences of those schemes are discussed. The anti-windup schemes are applied to a DC servomotor system with PID controller to perform comparative study and sensitivity analysis. Based on those results, some criteria for choosing anti-windup scheme are suggested. The results of this study provide a very useful guideline for selecting and designing the anti-windup scheme for various types of PID control systems.

This paper presents an anti-reset windup (ARW) compensation method for saturating control systems with multiple controllers and/or multiloop configuration. The proposed ARW method is motivated by the concept of equilibrium point. The design parameters of the ARW scheme is derive explicitly by minimizing a reasonable performance index. In the event of saturation, the resulting dynamics of the compensated controller reflects the dynamics of the linear closed-loop system. The proposed method guarantees the total stability o fthe resulting control systems under a certain condition. An illustrative example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method. The paper is an extension of the results in Park and Choi[10].

An attemperator is a part of the 4-stage superheater in the boiler system of the thermal power plant. The attemperator receives the over-heated steam and makes the steam with proper temperature by adjusting the control valve of the cold steam. In this paper, the attemperator is modeled considering physical point of view and the linearized model is derived for the control purpose. To overcome the integral windup phenomenon due to the opening limitation of the control valve, an anti-windup PI controller is proposed to the attemperator and compared with the PI controller operated in the thermal power plant in view of control performance.

An anti-reset windup (ARW) based compensation method for state constrained control systems is studied. First, a linear controller is constructed to give a desirable nominal performance ignoring state-constraints of a plant. Then, an additional compensator is introduced to provide smooth performance degradation under state-constraints of the plant. This paper focuses on the effective design method of the additional compensator. By minimizing a reasonable performance index, the proposed compensator is expressed in terms of theplant and ocntroller parameters. The resulting dynamics of the compensated controller exhibits the dominant part of the linear closed-loop system which can be seen from the singular perturbation model reducton theory. THe proposed method guarantees total stability of overall resulting systems if linear controllers were constructed to meet certain condition.
