이산형 시스템의 시변지연시간 추정 알고리즘

A new on-line estimation algorithm for a time varying time delay is proposed. This algorithm is based on the concept of minimization of prediction error. As only the parameters directly related to the poles and zeros of the process are estimated in the algorithm, persistently exciting condition for the convergence of parameters can be less restrictive. Under some assumptions which is necessary in adaptive control, it is shown that this algorithm estimates time varying time delay accurately. In view of computational burden, this algorithm needs far less amount of calculations than other methods. The larger the time delay is, the more effective this algorithm is . Computer simulation shows good properties of the algorithm. This algorithm can be used effectively in adaptive control of large dead time processes.
