Interactive tool for analysis of time-delay systems with dead-time compensators,” Control Engineering Practice

This paper presents an interactive tool which allows to study the problem of systems with large delays. The developed tool provides several examples in or-der to compare PI control and Smith Predictor (SP) approaches for processes with delay. Robustness prob-lems due to presence of model uncertainties can also be studied, as well as other control structures to face the different problems that the original Smith Predic-tor has with integrator and unstable processes. 1
