Dynamic systems with delays under the smith predictor methodology

Abstract

This contribution presents a solution to the dead time problem that is known as "Smith Predictor." This solution allows us to use already known techniques for the design of controllers for systems without delay and adapt them to systems with delay. "As a design goal, it aims to achieve that the response of the system with delay, has the same dynamic characteristics of the system without delay, for example, that has the same response to the step input, but displaced in time the value of the delay.
