1 Introduction

PID controllers are widespread in industry being the mostpopular ones for decades Hence even small improvementsin PID design could have major impact worldwide [1]There are many theoretical and practical papers on PIDtuning algorithms in time and frequency domain They areusing analytical [1ndash5] graphical [6ndash8] or empirical methodsincluding artificial intelligence [9 10]

Analytical methods rely on low-order plant modelscharacterized by small number of parameters Two reducedplant models are mostly used pure integrator plus first-order model like those for thermal and electromechanicalprocesses and the first-order plus dead-time model like inchemical processes respectively [11]

The proposed analytical method in the paper is based onlow-order plant model with pure integrator and it can beused for both fast and slow processes An application exampleis discussed for autopilot design of conventional ships incourse-keeping or course-changing control problems

Pole placement technique (PPT) [12ndash14] and symmetricaloptimum criterion (SOC) [15ndash18] were intensively studied asseparated methods on both types of reduced plant modelsmentioned above

If PPT is used to synthesize the PID controller the firststep is to specify some performance conditions of the closed-loop system which lead to the analytical expression of theclosed-loop transfer function (CLTF) The PID parametersdepend on the CLTF and plant model parameters In generalthe closed-loop system is approximated by a second orderreference model If the plant model has pure integratorelement and PID type is desired for the controller then theCLTF must contain an additional lead-lag compensator Inthis case the reference model has four parameters two fromthe second order reference model and the other two fromthe compensator All these parameters are present in theanalytical expressions of PID controller In addition if thewell known symmetrical optimum criterion [6] is used theparameters of compensator have particular values as statedin the paper which simplify the PID parameters

2 Mathematical Problems in Engineering

By combining the pole placement technique with sym-metrical optimum criterion the analytical expressions of thePID parameters depend only on the parameters of the plantand second order reference models

In this paper PID autopilot design for heading controlproblem of a conventional ship is considered in simulationsThe ship model is obtained from the equations describingthe horizontal motion of the ship expressing conservationof hydrodynamic forces and moments For ship dynamicsmodeling which characterize a slow process the first type ofreduced model is used with pure integrator plus first-ordermodel

The autopilot must assure performance conditions inboth course-keeping and course-changing control problemsIt must be PID type to assure null stationary error forboth step and ramp variations on reference and disturbancesinputs [19 20] Thus in course-keeping control the PIDautopilot can compensate the stationary error (eg drifteffect) generated by constant or slowly time-variable distur-bances (eg wind sea currents) Also in course-changingcontrol problems PID autopilot can act as a tracking systemto a desired trajectory consisting of line segments [21]

As a result the reference model contains a second-orderoscillating system and a lead-lag compensator with realnegative values for pole-zero pair and the open-loop transferfunction (OLTF) contains a double-integrator element

The goal of this paper is to find the simplified analyticalexpressions of PID controller parameters which satisfy twosimultaneous conditions the desired behavior of closed-loopsystem and symmetrical characteristics of the open-looptransfer function Applying PPT the controller parametersdepend on the parameters of the plant and closed-looptransfer functions The resulting open-loop transfer functioncontains a double-integrator element and a pole-zero pairwith real negative values Hence the symmetrical optimumcriterion can be used Imposing symmetrical characteristicsof the open-loop transfer function which can be obtainedin certain conditions stated in the paper the analyticalexpressions of the controller parameters can be simplified

The paper is organized as follows Section 2 providesmathematical models for the plant PID controller andreference closed-loop system used in simulations for bothfast and slow processes In Section 3 the PID controller syn-thesis using PPT is presented The analytical expressions ofcontroller parameters are simplified in Section 4 by imposingsymmetrical characteristics of OLTF Section 5 describes thesimulation results using a PID autopilot for heading controlof a ship Conclusions are presented in Section 6

2 Mathematical Models

Mathematical models for plant PID controller and referenceclosed-loop system used in simulations are discussed in thissection The classical factorized forms of transfer functionsare considered to express poles and zeros based on whichpole placement technique and symmetrical optimum crite-rion can be used

In the paper a low-order plantmodel with pure integratoris considered for both fast and slow processesThe controlleris of PID type being imposed by performance conditionsof closed-loop system which are detailed at the end of thissection

The classical structure of the control loop for a linearSISO process without disturbances is illustrated in Figure 1

The plant has a low-order model which contains a pureintegrator It is characterized by a dominant time constant(119879119875) and a gain coefficient (119896

119875) The analytical expressions of

plant model and PID controller depend on the process typefast or slow [22]

(a) If the process is fast then the small time constants cannot be neglected An equivalent small time constant (119879

Σ) is

added to the model corresponding to the sum of parasitictime constants

In this case the PID controller is of the following form

(3)

Using pole cancellation the nonzero dominant pole of theplant model is cancelled by choosing 1198791015840

119862= 119879119875Thus only two

controller parameters must be determined 119896119862and 119879

119862

It can be observed that if the process does not have anynon-zero dominant pole (model without time constant 119879

119875)

then the controller is of PI type (without time constant 1198791015840119862)

and the same parameters must be determined (119896119862and 119879

119862)

(b) If the process is slow the equivalent small time constantcan be neglected (119879

Σ≪ 119879119875) and the plant model is as follows

119867119875 (119904) =

119896119875

119904 sdot (119904119879119875+ 1)

(4)

In this case the PID controller contains a supplementarydegree of freedom and it is of the following form

119867119862 (119904) =

119896119862

119904119879119862

Again the non-zero dominant pole of the plant model iscancelled using pole cancellation resulting 1198791015840

119862= 119879119875 In this

case three controller parametersmust be determined 119896119862119879119862

and 1198791 This is a more general case due to the time constant

1198791 which is not imposed by the process and it can be chosen

Therefore in this paper the plant model given in (4) is usedfor simulations but discussions include both plant modelsgiven in (1) and (4)

The open-loop transfer functions given in (3) and (6)have similar expressions after pole cancellation

119867(119904) = 119867119862 (119904) sdot 119867119875 (119904) =119896119862sdot 119896119875sdot (119904119879119862+ 1)

where the time constant119879 has different meanings dependingon the type of process considered In the first case for fastprocesses it represents the equivalent small time constantimposed by the process (119879 = 119879

Σ) while in the second case

it is a controller parameter (119879 = 1198791)

In general the behavior of the closed-loop system isapproximated by a second order reference model

where 1205960gt 0 is the natural frequency and 120577 gt 0 is

the damping coefficient The performance conditions of theclosed-loop system can be specified by imposing the modelparameters (120577 and 120596

Starting from the plant model with pure integrator andconsidering the reference model from (8) it results a real-PDcontroller The corresponding OLTF is as follows

119867(119904) = 119867119862 (119904) sdot 119867119875 (119904) =1198670 (119904)

=1205962

119904 (119904 + 21205771205960) (9)

It can be observed that the open-loop transfer functioncorresponding to CLTF presented in (8) has one pureintegrator which assures null stationary error only for stepvariations of reference input denoted 119903 in Figure 1

If the controller must assure null stationary error forboth step and ramp variations on reference and disturbancesinputs then the controller must be PID type In this casethe open-loop transfer function contains a double-integratorelement one being included from the plant model and theother one from the PID controller The resulted OLTF hasthe general form expressed in (7) which cannot be generatedfrom the reference model given in (8)

To obtain the expression of OLTF given in (7) the refer-ence model must be completed with a lead-lag compensator

which contains a pole-zero pair with real and negative values[22]

Particular values for pole-zero pair of lead-lag compen-sator simplify the analytical expressions of the controllerparameters as stated in the next sections In additionsymmetrical characteristics of OLTF are obtained

3 Aspects of PID Controller Design Using PolePlacement Technique

In this section existence conditions of parameters of CLTFare discussed and PID parameters are determined based onPPT [19] Consider the control structure shown in Figure 1with the OLTF given in (7) and the desired CLTF in (10)

Proposition 1 For every value of the pole (119904 = minus119901) in thedesired closed-loop transfer function given in (10) there is onlyone zero value (119904 = minus119911) for which the open-loop transferfunction has a double-pole in origin and in addition the zerofrequency is smaller than the pole frequency 119911 lt 119901

Proof The proposition demonstration includes the nextlemma results

Lemma 2 The necessary and sufficient condition for theexistence of a double-pole in origin for the open-loop transferfunction of a control system illustrated in Figure 1 starting froma desired CLTF of the form given in (10) is as follows

2120577119901119911 + 1205960119911 minus 1205960119901 = 0 (11)

Proof The transfer function of the open-loop system can becomputed starting from the desired CLTF

119867(119904) = 119867119862 (119904) sdot 119867119875 (119904) =1198670 (119904)

(12)

From (12) it can be observed that a double-pole in originis obtained for every frequency if and only if the coefficientof the third term of denominator is null

which is equivalent with equation in (11) for 1205960= 0

As a result the unique zero value results whose expres-sion depends on the selected pole value

119904 = minus119911 = minus1205960119901

2120577119901 + 1205960

forall119901 1205960 120577 gt 0 (14)

4 Mathematical Problems in Engineering

For every frequency (119901) of the pole the correspondingfrequency (119911) of the zero given in (14) is smaller

119911 =1205960119901

2120577119901 + 1205960

lt 119901 forall119901 1205960 120577 gt 0 (15)

In this case the real values of pole-zero pair and conjugatecomplex poles of the desired CLTF given in (10) are illus-trated in the complex plane in Figure 2

Using (13) and (15) in (12) the expression of the open-looptransfer function is obtained

119867(119904) =1205960sdot (2120577119901 + 120596

The zero and pole frequencies of the open-loop transferfunction are denoted by 120596

The open-loop transfer function can be rewritten asfollows

119867(119904) =1205960(2120577119901 + 120596

(19)

EqualingOLTFwithout pole cancellation from (3) or (7)with (19) an equality of two polynomials of 3rd order in 119904variable is obtained

If a fast process is considered then the time constant 119879given in (22d) represents the equivalent small time constantof the plant model (119879 = 119879

Σ) If the process is slow then the

same time constant 119879 is a controller parameter (119879 = 1198791)

The time constants must satisfy the inequalities

119879 lt 1198791015840

119862lt 119879119862 (23)

This can be transposed into frequency domain

119879119875

lt 120596119901 (24)

Using (17) in (24) a system of 2 inequalities is obtained

The reference model must be chosen so that the parame-ters of closed-loop transfer function (120596

system of inequalities

4 Design Aspects by Imposing SymmetricalCharacteristics of OLTF

After applying PPT the parameters of PID controller dependon the CLTF parameters (120596

0 120577 and 119901) In general 120596

0and 120577

Mathematical Problems in Engineering 5

characterize the desired behavior of the closed-loop systemand they have fixed values while the pole value can be chosenSpecific pole values can be imposed by using supplementaryconditions In this paper the conditions for choosing thepole value refer to the symmetrical optimum criterion whichsimplify the expressions of PID parameters

The goal is to find that pole value of the CLTF whichsatisfies the assumptions of symmetrical optimum criterionaround natural frequency 120596

0 for the transfer function of

open-loop system given in (16) Using this value the expres-sions of PIDparameters given in (22a) (22b) (22c) and (22d)are simplified

Proposition 3 There is only one admissible value for the pole(119904 = minus119901) of CLTF given in (10) so that the corresponding OLTFgiven in (16) has symmetrical characteristics around 120596

0 and

this value is as follows

119901 = 1205960 forall119901 120596

0 120577 gt 0 (26)

Proof For the specified open-loop transfer function onlythe symmetry of magnitude-frequency characteristic aroundnatural frequency 120596

0must be imposed as it implies also the

symmetry of phase-frequency characteristicThe general form of the symmetrical optimum criterion

imposes two conditions for magnitude-frequency character-istic of OLTF

(a) cross-over frequency 1205960must be equally placed between

zero and pole frequencies on the 10-base logarithmic scale

2 Mathematical Problems in Engineering

By combining the pole placement technique with sym-metrical optimum criterion the analytical expressions of thePID parameters depend only on the parameters of the plantand second order reference models

In this paper PID autopilot design for heading controlproblem of a conventional ship is considered in simulationsThe ship model is obtained from the equations describingthe horizontal motion of the ship expressing conservationof hydrodynamic forces and moments For ship dynamicsmodeling which characterize a slow process the first type ofreduced model is used with pure integrator plus first-ordermodel

The autopilot must assure performance conditions inboth course-keeping and course-changing control problemsIt must be PID type to assure null stationary error forboth step and ramp variations on reference and disturbancesinputs [19 20] Thus in course-keeping control the PIDautopilot can compensate the stationary error (eg drifteffect) generated by constant or slowly time-variable distur-bances (eg wind sea currents) Also in course-changingcontrol problems PID autopilot can act as a tracking systemto a desired trajectory consisting of line segments [21]

As a result the reference model contains a second-orderoscillating system and a lead-lag compensator with realnegative values for pole-zero pair and the open-loop transferfunction (OLTF) contains a double-integrator element

The goal of this paper is to find the simplified analyticalexpressions of PID controller parameters which satisfy twosimultaneous conditions the desired behavior of closed-loopsystem and symmetrical characteristics of the open-looptransfer function Applying PPT the controller parametersdepend on the parameters of the plant and closed-looptransfer functions The resulting open-loop transfer functioncontains a double-integrator element and a pole-zero pairwith real negative values Hence the symmetrical optimumcriterion can be used Imposing symmetrical characteristicsof the open-loop transfer function which can be obtainedin certain conditions stated in the paper the analyticalexpressions of the controller parameters can be simplified

The paper is organized as follows Section 2 providesmathematical models for the plant PID controller andreference closed-loop system used in simulations for bothfast and slow processes In Section 3 the PID controller syn-thesis using PPT is presented The analytical expressions ofcontroller parameters are simplified in Section 4 by imposingsymmetrical characteristics of OLTF Section 5 describes thesimulation results using a PID autopilot for heading controlof a ship Conclusions are presented in Section 6

2 Mathematical Models

Mathematical models for plant PID controller and referenceclosed-loop system used in simulations are discussed in thissection The classical factorized forms of transfer functionsare considered to express poles and zeros based on whichpole placement technique and symmetrical optimum crite-rion can be used

In the paper a low-order plantmodel with pure integratoris considered for both fast and slow processesThe controlleris of PID type being imposed by performance conditionsof closed-loop system which are detailed at the end of thissection

The classical structure of the control loop for a linearSISO process without disturbances is illustrated in Figure 1

The plant has a low-order model which contains a pureintegrator It is characterized by a dominant time constant(119879119875) and a gain coefficient (119896

119875) The analytical expressions of

plant model and PID controller depend on the process typefast or slow [22]

(a) If the process is fast then the small time constants cannot be neglected An equivalent small time constant (119879

Σ) is

added to the model corresponding to the sum of parasitictime constants

Using pole cancellation the nonzero dominant pole of theplant model is cancelled by choosing 1198791015840

119862= 119879119875Thus only two

controller parameters must be determined 119896119862and 119879

119862

It can be observed that if the process does not have anynon-zero dominant pole (model without time constant 119879

119875)

then the controller is of PI type (without time constant 1198791015840119862)

and the same parameters must be determined (119896119862and 119879

119862)

Again the non-zero dominant pole of the plant model iscancelled using pole cancellation resulting 1198791015840

case three controller parametersmust be determined 119896119862119879119862

and 1198791 This is a more general case due to the time constant

1198791 which is not imposed by the process and it can be chosen

Therefore in this paper the plant model given in (4) is usedfor simulations but discussions include both plant modelsgiven in (1) and (4)

The open-loop transfer functions given in (3) and (6)have similar expressions after pole cancellation

where the time constant119879 has different meanings dependingon the type of process considered In the first case for fastprocesses it represents the equivalent small time constantimposed by the process (119879 = 119879

Σ) while in the second case

it is a controller parameter (119879 = 1198791)

In general the behavior of the closed-loop system isapproximated by a second order reference model

where 1205960gt 0 is the natural frequency and 120577 gt 0 is

the damping coefficient The performance conditions of theclosed-loop system can be specified by imposing the modelparameters (120577 and 120596

Starting from the plant model with pure integrator andconsidering the reference model from (8) it results a real-PDcontroller The corresponding OLTF is as follows

119867(119904) = 119867119862 (119904) sdot 119867119875 (119904) =1198670 (119904)

It can be observed that the open-loop transfer functioncorresponding to CLTF presented in (8) has one pureintegrator which assures null stationary error only for stepvariations of reference input denoted 119903 in Figure 1

If the controller must assure null stationary error forboth step and ramp variations on reference and disturbancesinputs then the controller must be PID type In this casethe open-loop transfer function contains a double-integratorelement one being included from the plant model and theother one from the PID controller The resulted OLTF hasthe general form expressed in (7) which cannot be generatedfrom the reference model given in (8)

To obtain the expression of OLTF given in (7) the refer-ence model must be completed with a lead-lag compensator

which contains a pole-zero pair with real and negative values[22]

3 Aspects of PID Controller Design Using PolePlacement Technique

In this section existence conditions of parameters of CLTFare discussed and PID parameters are determined based onPPT [19] Consider the control structure shown in Figure 1with the OLTF given in (7) and the desired CLTF in (10)

Proposition 1 For every value of the pole (119904 = minus119901) in thedesired closed-loop transfer function given in (10) there is onlyone zero value (119904 = minus119911) for which the open-loop transferfunction has a double-pole in origin and in addition the zerofrequency is smaller than the pole frequency 119911 lt 119901

Proof The proposition demonstration includes the nextlemma results

Lemma 2 The necessary and sufficient condition for theexistence of a double-pole in origin for the open-loop transferfunction of a control system illustrated in Figure 1 starting froma desired CLTF of the form given in (10) is as follows

2120577119901119911 + 1205960119911 minus 1205960119901 = 0 (11)

Proof The transfer function of the open-loop system can becomputed starting from the desired CLTF

119867(119904) = 119867119862 (119904) sdot 119867119875 (119904) =1198670 (119904)

(12)

From (12) it can be observed that a double-pole in originis obtained for every frequency if and only if the coefficientof the third term of denominator is null

which is equivalent with equation in (11) for 1205960= 0

As a result the unique zero value results whose expres-sion depends on the selected pole value

119904 = minus119911 = minus1205960119901

4 Mathematical Problems in Engineering

For every frequency (119901) of the pole the correspondingfrequency (119911) of the zero given in (14) is smaller

In this case the real values of pole-zero pair and conjugatecomplex poles of the desired CLTF given in (10) are illus-trated in the complex plane in Figure 2

Using (13) and (15) in (12) the expression of the open-looptransfer function is obtained

119867(119904) =1205960sdot (2120577119901 + 120596

The zero and pole frequencies of the open-loop transferfunction are denoted by 120596

The open-loop transfer function can be rewritten asfollows

EqualingOLTFwithout pole cancellation from (3) or (7)with (19) an equality of two polynomials of 3rd order in 119904variable is obtained

It can be observed that the solution (22c) represents thepole cancellation condition and it does not depend on the 119901pole value

If a fast process is considered then the time constant 119879given in (22d) represents the equivalent small time constantof the plant model (119879 = 119879

Σ) If the process is slow then the

same time constant 119879 is a controller parameter (119879 = 1198791)

The time constants must satisfy the inequalities

characterize the desired behavior of the closed-loop systemand they have fixed values while the pole value can be chosenSpecific pole values can be imposed by using supplementaryconditions In this paper the conditions for choosing thepole value refer to the symmetrical optimum criterion whichsimplify the expressions of PID parameters

The goal is to find that pole value of the CLTF whichsatisfies the assumptions of symmetrical optimum criterionaround natural frequency 120596

0 for the transfer function of

open-loop system given in (16) Using this value the expres-sions of PIDparameters given in (22a) (22b) (22c) and (22d)are simplified

Proposition 3 There is only one admissible value for the pole(119904 = minus119901) of CLTF given in (10) so that the corresponding OLTFgiven in (16) has symmetrical characteristics around 120596

0 and

this value is as follows

119901 = 1205960 forall119901 120596

0 120577 gt 0 (26)

Proof For the specified open-loop transfer function onlythe symmetry of magnitude-frequency characteristic aroundnatural frequency 120596

0must be imposed as it implies also the

symmetry of phase-frequency characteristicThe general form of the symmetrical optimum criterion

imposes two conditions for magnitude-frequency character-istic of OLTF

zero and pole frequencies on the 10-base logarithmic scale

Using the OLTF given in (36) the phase margin results asfollows

5 Simulation Results

For simulations the heading control problem of a ship isconsidered using a PID autopilot

The ship yaw angle (120595) is the model output and ruddercommand (120575) generated by autopilot is the control inputTheshipmodel is linearwith parametric uncertainties dependingon ship loading conditions and forward speed of the shipwhile the wave characteristics change frequently

It is a first order Nomoto model of the form given in (4)being identified for a ship speed of 22 knots [21]

The step response of the closed-loop transfer function isillustrated in Figure 4The step reference input is representedwith dotted line

Considering the second order reference model given in(8) the resulting autopilot is of real-PD type The response isover-dumped being represented with dashed line For PIDautopilot based on reference model with lead-lag compen-sator given in (10) the response is overshot and it is drawnwith continuous line

Similarly the ramp response of the CLTF is illustrated inFigure 5The ramp reference input is represented with dottedline Considering the second order reference model given in(8) with real-PD type the response is shownwith dashed lineAn important stationary error can be observed For referencemodel with lead-lag compensator given in (10) with PIDautopilot the response is represented with continuous lineIn this case a null stationary error is obtained

PID autopilot assures null stationary error for both stepand ramp variations on reference inputs

Again the non-zero dominant pole of the plant model iscancelled using pole cancellation resulting 1198791015840

case three controller parametersmust be determined 119896119862119879119862

and 1198791 This is a more general case due to the time constant

1198791 which is not imposed by the process and it can be chosen

Therefore in this paper the plant model given in (4) is usedfor simulations but discussions include both plant modelsgiven in (1) and (4)

The open-loop transfer functions given in (3) and (6)have similar expressions after pole cancellation

where the time constant119879 has different meanings dependingon the type of process considered In the first case for fastprocesses it represents the equivalent small time constantimposed by the process (119879 = 119879

Σ) while in the second case

it is a controller parameter (119879 = 1198791)

In general the behavior of the closed-loop system isapproximated by a second order reference model

where 1205960gt 0 is the natural frequency and 120577 gt 0 is

the damping coefficient The performance conditions of theclosed-loop system can be specified by imposing the modelparameters (120577 and 120596

Starting from the plant model with pure integrator andconsidering the reference model from (8) it results a real-PDcontroller The corresponding OLTF is as follows

119867(119904) = 119867119862 (119904) sdot 119867119875 (119904) =1198670 (119904)

It can be observed that the open-loop transfer functioncorresponding to CLTF presented in (8) has one pureintegrator which assures null stationary error only for stepvariations of reference input denoted 119903 in Figure 1

If the controller must assure null stationary error forboth step and ramp variations on reference and disturbancesinputs then the controller must be PID type In this casethe open-loop transfer function contains a double-integratorelement one being included from the plant model and theother one from the PID controller The resulted OLTF hasthe general form expressed in (7) which cannot be generatedfrom the reference model given in (8)

To obtain the expression of OLTF given in (7) the refer-ence model must be completed with a lead-lag compensator

which contains a pole-zero pair with real and negative values[22]

3 Aspects of PID Controller Design Using PolePlacement Technique

In this section existence conditions of parameters of CLTFare discussed and PID parameters are determined based onPPT [19] Consider the control structure shown in Figure 1with the OLTF given in (7) and the desired CLTF in (10)

Proposition 1 For every value of the pole (119904 = minus119901) in thedesired closed-loop transfer function given in (10) there is onlyone zero value (119904 = minus119911) for which the open-loop transferfunction has a double-pole in origin and in addition the zerofrequency is smaller than the pole frequency 119911 lt 119901

Proof The proposition demonstration includes the nextlemma results

Lemma 2 The necessary and sufficient condition for theexistence of a double-pole in origin for the open-loop transferfunction of a control system illustrated in Figure 1 starting froma desired CLTF of the form given in (10) is as follows

2120577119901119911 + 1205960119911 minus 1205960119901 = 0 (11)

Proof The transfer function of the open-loop system can becomputed starting from the desired CLTF

119867(119904) = 119867119862 (119904) sdot 119867119875 (119904) =1198670 (119904)

(12)

From (12) it can be observed that a double-pole in originis obtained for every frequency if and only if the coefficientof the third term of denominator is null

0(1 minus

119901

119911) = 0 (13)

which is equivalent with equation in (11) for 1205960= 0

As a result the unique zero value results whose expres-sion depends on the selected pole value

119904 = minus119911 = minus1205960119901

4 Mathematical Problems in Engineering

For every frequency (119901) of the pole the correspondingfrequency (119911) of the zero given in (14) is smaller

119911 =1205960119901

2120577119901 + 1205960

lt 119901 forall119901 1205960 120577 gt 0 (15)

In this case the real values of pole-zero pair and conjugatecomplex poles of the desired CLTF given in (10) are illus-trated in the complex plane in Figure 2

Using (13) and (15) in (12) the expression of the open-looptransfer function is obtained

119867(119904) =1205960sdot (2120577119901 + 120596

1199042 sdot [119904 + (119901 + 21205771205960)]

(16)

The zero and pole frequencies of the open-loop transferfunction are denoted by 120596

119911and 120596

119901 respectively

120596119911=

1205960119901

2120577119901 + 1205960

= 119911 120596119901= 2120577120596

0+ 119901 (17)

The open-loop transfer function can be rewritten asfollows

119867(119904) =1205960(2120577119901 + 120596

0) sdot (119904 + 120596

119911)

1199042 sdot [119904 + 120596119901]

(18)

Putting into evidence the time constants the open-looptransfer function can be rewritten like in (7)

119867(119904) =1205962

0119901 sdot (119904 ((2120577119901 + 120596

0+ 119901)) + 1)

(19)

EqualingOLTFwithout pole cancellation from (3) or (7)with (19) an equality of two polynomials of 3rd order in 119904variable is obtained

119896119875sdot 119896119862sdot (2120577120596

(22d)

It can be observed that the solution (22c) represents thepole cancellation condition and it does not depend on the 119901pole value

If a fast process is considered then the time constant 119879given in (22d) represents the equivalent small time constantof the plant model (119879 = 119879

Σ) If the process is slow then the

same time constant 119879 is a controller parameter (119879 = 1198791)

The time constants must satisfy the inequalities

119879 lt 1198791015840

119862lt 119879119862 (23)

This can be transposed into frequency domain

2120577119901 + 1205960gt 1199011205960119879119875 (25b)

The reference model must be chosen so that the parame-ters of closed-loop transfer function (120596

4 Design Aspects by Imposing SymmetricalCharacteristics of OLTF

After applying PPT the parameters of PID controller dependon the CLTF parameters (120596

0 120577 and 119901) In general 120596

Mathematical Problems in Engineering 5

characterize the desired behavior of the closed-loop systemand they have fixed values while the pole value can be chosenSpecific pole values can be imposed by using supplementaryconditions In this paper the conditions for choosing thepole value refer to the symmetrical optimum criterion whichsimplify the expressions of PID parameters

The goal is to find that pole value of the CLTF whichsatisfies the assumptions of symmetrical optimum criterionaround natural frequency 120596

0 for the transfer function of

open-loop system given in (16) Using this value the expres-sions of PIDparameters given in (22a) (22b) (22c) and (22d)are simplified

Proposition 3 There is only one admissible value for the pole(119904 = minus119901) of CLTF given in (10) so that the corresponding OLTFgiven in (16) has symmetrical characteristics around 120596

0 and

this value is as follows

119901 = 1205960 forall119901 120596

0 120577 gt 0 (26)

Proof For the specified open-loop transfer function onlythe symmetry of magnitude-frequency characteristic aroundnatural frequency 120596

0must be imposed as it implies also the

symmetry of phase-frequency characteristicThe general form of the symmetrical optimum criterion

imposes two conditions for magnitude-frequency character-istic of OLTF

(a) cross-over frequency 1205960must be equally placed between

zero and pole frequencies on the 10-base logarithmic scale

Therefore the condition given in (27) is satisfied if andonly if 119901 = 120596

The real values of pole-zero pair and complex conjugatepoles of the CLTF given in (34) are illustrated in Figure 3

The position of the zero 119904 = minus119911 depends on 120577 parameterThree situations are possible

placed between the two points 119904 = minus1205960and 119904 = minus120577120596

respectively(ii) if 120577 = 12 then minus119911 = minus120577120596

0and the zero is placed

to the right of the point 119904 = minus1205771205960 This is the case

illustrated in Figure 3

Knowing the pole value of CLTF 119901 = 1205960 the simplified

parameters of PID controller result from (22a) (22b) (22c)and (22d)

5 Simulation Results

For simulations the heading control problem of a ship isconsidered using a PID autopilot

The ship yaw angle (120595) is the model output and ruddercommand (120575) generated by autopilot is the control inputTheshipmodel is linearwith parametric uncertainties dependingon ship loading conditions and forward speed of the shipwhile the wave characteristics change frequently

It is a first order Nomoto model of the form given in (4)being identified for a ship speed of 22 knots [21]

where 120595(119904) and 120575(119904) represent the Laplace transforms of yawangle and rudder angle respectively

Using the values from (42) and (43) it can be easilyverified that the conditions in (38a) and (38b) are satisfied

From the desired closed-loop transfer function withpole-zero pair specified in (30) and (33) and imposingsymmetrical characteristics of the OLTF the expressions in(34) and (36) are obtained From (37a) (37b) (37c) and(37d) the autopilot parameters are obtained

The step response of the closed-loop transfer function isillustrated in Figure 4The step reference input is representedwith dotted line

Considering the second order reference model given in(8) the resulting autopilot is of real-PD type The response isover-dumped being represented with dashed line For PIDautopilot based on reference model with lead-lag compen-sator given in (10) the response is overshot and it is drawnwith continuous line

Similarly the ramp response of the CLTF is illustrated inFigure 5The ramp reference input is represented with dottedline Considering the second order reference model given in(8) with real-PD type the response is shownwith dashed lineAn important stationary error can be observed For referencemodel with lead-lag compensator given in (10) with PIDautopilot the response is represented with continuous lineIn this case a null stationary error is obtained

PID autopilot assures null stationary error for both stepand ramp variations on reference inputs

In this case the real values of pole-zero pair and conjugatecomplex poles of the desired CLTF given in (10) are illus-trated in the complex plane in Figure 2

Using (13) and (15) in (12) the expression of the open-looptransfer function is obtained

The open-loop transfer function can be rewritten asfollows

EqualingOLTFwithout pole cancellation from (3) or (7)with (19) an equality of two polynomials of 3rd order in 119904variable is obtained

It can be observed that the solution (22c) represents thepole cancellation condition and it does not depend on the 119901pole value

If a fast process is considered then the time constant 119879given in (22d) represents the equivalent small time constantof the plant model (119879 = 119879

Σ) If the process is slow then the

same time constant 119879 is a controller parameter (119879 = 1198791)

The time constants must satisfy the inequalities

119879 lt 1198791015840

119862lt 119879119862 (23)

system of inequalities

4 Design Aspects by Imposing SymmetricalCharacteristics of OLTF

The goal is to find that pole value of the CLTF whichsatisfies the assumptions of symmetrical optimum criterionaround natural frequency 120596

0 for the transfer function of

open-loop system given in (16) Using this value the expres-sions of PIDparameters given in (22a) (22b) (22c) and (22d)are simplified

Proposition 3 There is only one admissible value for the pole(119904 = minus119901) of CLTF given in (10) so that the corresponding OLTFgiven in (16) has symmetrical characteristics around 120596

0 and

this value is as follows

119901 = 1205960 forall119901 120596

Proof For the specified open-loop transfer function onlythe symmetry of magnitude-frequency characteristic aroundnatural frequency 120596

0must be imposed as it implies also the

symmetry of phase-frequency characteristicThe general form of the symmetrical optimum criterion

imposes two conditions for magnitude-frequency character-istic of OLTF

zero and pole frequencies on the 10-base logarithmic scale

illustrated in Figure 3

5 Simulation Results

For simulations the heading control problem of a ship isconsidered using a PID autopilot

The ship yaw angle (120595) is the model output and ruddercommand (120575) generated by autopilot is the control inputTheshipmodel is linearwith parametric uncertainties dependingon ship loading conditions and forward speed of the shipwhile the wave characteristics change frequently

It is a first order Nomoto model of the form given in (4)being identified for a ship speed of 22 knots [21]

Using the values from (42) and (43) it can be easilyverified that the conditions in (38a) and (38b) are satisfied

From the desired closed-loop transfer function withpole-zero pair specified in (30) and (33) and imposingsymmetrical characteristics of the OLTF the expressions in(34) and (36) are obtained From (37a) (37b) (37c) and(37d) the autopilot parameters are obtained

The step response of the closed-loop transfer function isillustrated in Figure 4The step reference input is representedwith dotted line

Considering the second order reference model given in(8) the resulting autopilot is of real-PD type The response isover-dumped being represented with dashed line For PIDautopilot based on reference model with lead-lag compen-sator given in (10) the response is overshot and it is drawnwith continuous line

Similarly the ramp response of the CLTF is illustrated inFigure 5The ramp reference input is represented with dottedline Considering the second order reference model given in(8) with real-PD type the response is shownwith dashed lineAn important stationary error can be observed For referencemodel with lead-lag compensator given in (10) with PIDautopilot the response is represented with continuous lineIn this case a null stationary error is obtained

PID autopilot assures null stationary error for both stepand ramp variations on reference inputs

It is a first order Nomoto model of the form given in (4)being identified for a ship speed of 22 knots [21]

Figure 6 Symmetrical characteristics of OLTF

function are illustrated in Figure 6 It can be observed thatthe two conditions for magnitude-frequency characteristic ofOLTF generate the symmetry of phase-frequency character-istic In this case the phase margin is 120593

6 Conclusions

By combining the pole placement technique with symmet-rical optimum criterion the analytical expressions of PIDparameters are simplified In addition it was demonstratedthat there is only one possible pair for the pole-zero valuesof closed-loop transfer function so that the PID controllersatisfied two simultaneous conditions the desired behaviorof closed-loop system and symmetrical characteristics of theopen-loop transfer function For simulations PID autopilot

design for heading control problems of a conventional shipis considered PID autopilot assures null stationary error forboth step and ramp variations on reference inputs
