Smith predictor

Smith predictor

Smith predictor is a type of predictive controllers that deals with pure time delay. The idea can be illustrated as follows.

Suppose the plant consists of G(z) followed by a pure time delay z^{-k}. Suppose we only consider G(z) and design a controller C(z) with a closed loop transfer function H(z)=frac{C(z) G(z)}{1+C(z)G(z)}.

Our objective is to design a controller ar{C}(z) for the plant G(z) z^{-k} so that the closed loop transfer function ar{H}(z) equals H(z) z^{-k}.

Solving frac{ar{C} G z^{-k{1+ar{C}G z^{-k = z^{-k} frac{C G }{1 + C G}, we obtain ar{C} = frac{C}{1+CG(1-z^{-k})}. The controller is implemented as shown in the following figure, where G(z) has been changed to hat{G}(z) to indicate that it is a model used by the controller.

A re-arrangement can be made as followsHere we can see that if the model used in the controller, hat{G}(z)z^{-k}, matches the plant G(z) z^{-k} perfectly, then the two outer feedback loops cancel each other, and the controller generates the "correct" control action.
