The paper explores the standard advanced control elements commonly used in industry for
designing advanced control systems. These elements include cascade, ratio, feedforward …

This paper analyses the most significant issues that have been recently been addressed by
researchers in the field of Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers. In particular, the …

Modern agriculture is nowadays subject to regulations in terms of quality and environmental
impact and thus it is a field where the application of automatic control techniques has …

This study deals with a generalised version of lead/lag compensators known as fractional‐
order lead/lag compensators. Exact and simple formulas are found for designing this …

Feedforward control can be considered as the most well-known control approach to deal
with measurable disturbances. It started to be used almost 100 years ago, and since then it …

The major input signals entering the PID controller are; the set point, the process output, and
measurable load disturbances. By feeding these signals through suitable filters, the …

This brief is focused on the closed-loop control of postprandial glucose levels of patients
with type 1 diabetes mellitus after unannounced meals, which is still a major challenge …

In this work, simple tuning rules for feedforward compensators were applied to design a
control strategy to regulate the inside air temperature of a greenhouse during daytime by …

The major input signals entering the PID controller are; the set point, the process output, and
measurable load disturbances. By feeding these signals through suitable filters, the …

This paper presents a practical comparison for some of the most relevant tuning rules for
feedforward compensators that have been published in the recent years. The work is …
