This article proposes an improved two-degree-of-freedom Smith predictive control method for typical industrial control systems. Smith predictive control is a classic control strategy designed for systems with pure lag. As an extension of Smith predictive control, internal model control can solve the time-delay problem effectively and make the controller design simple. Based on the two control algorithms, an enhanced control method with modified control structure is developed in this paper. In the design scheme, the set-point tracking and the disturbance rejection characteristics are decoupled, such that the set-point tracking and disturbance rejection controllers can be designed independently to achieve better control performance. The obtained control strategy possesses simple and convenient parameter tuning procedures. The validity of the proposed scheme is verified through theoretical analysis and simulation comparison with other control methods, and the results indicate that the proposed strategy shows better performance on set-point tracking and disturbance rejection.

In this paper, the sliding mode control for a class of uncertain discrete-time singular system with H ∞ performance constraint is studied. By taking the singular matrix E into consideration, a new type of integral sliding mode surface is firstly introduced, based on which a sufficient condition is derived to guarantee the sliding mode dynamics admissible with a given -level disturbance attenuation of the unmatched disturbance. A controller law is also given to keep the system trajectory staying in a neighborhood of the ideal sliding surface. Finally, a numerical example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
