Abstract

This paper deals with the design of an ultra-local model control. The proposed approach is based on the estimation of the ultra-local model parameters using least squares resolution technique instead of numerical derivation technique. The closed-loop control is implemented through an adaptive PI in order to reject the influences of the disturbance and noise output signals. Its main advantages are: its simplicity and its robustness with respect to the parameter uncertainties of system. In this paper, it is processed to test the efficiency of the parameter estimation method compared with the performance of numerical derivation technique. The method is applied to the water level control of a two-tank-system. Numerical simulations show that the generated desired trajectory is followed in an efficient way even with severe operating conditions.
