Compensation

The document discusses compensation networks used to stabilize unstable systems. Compensation networks are applied through feedforward path gain adjustment and introduce poles and zeros, changing the system's transfer function and performance specifications. There are two main methods of compensation: series compensation which connects a compensating circuit between the error detector and plant, and feedback compensation used in closed-loop control systems to minimize steady state error by feeding back differences between actual and desired output to the controller.

Necessary of Compensation

In order to obtain the desired performance of the system, we use compensating networks.
Compensating networks are applied to the system in the form of feed forward path gain adjustment.

Compensate a unstable system to make it stable.

A compensating network is used to minimize overshoot.

These compensating networks increase the steady state accuracy of the system. An important point to
be noted here is that the increase in the steady state accuracy brings instability to the system.

Compensating networks also introduces poles and zeros in the system thereby causes changes in the
transfer function of the system. Due to this, performance specifications of the system change.

Methods of Compensation

Connecting compensating circuit between error detector and plants known as series compensation.

There are two methods of controlling the systems. One is an open loop control system, and another is a
closed loop feedback control system. In an open loop system, the inputs proceed to the given process
and produces output. There is no feedback back into the system as for the system to ‘know’ how close
the actual output is to the desired output comes.

In a closed loop control system, the system has the ability to check how far the actual output deviates
from the desired output (as time approaches infinity, this difference is known as the steady state error).
It passes this difference as feedback to the controller who controls the system. The controller will adjust
its control of the system based off of this feedback.

If the input is unit step, the output is step response. The step response yields a clear vision of the
system’s transient response. We have two types of system, first order system and second order system,
which are representative of many physical systems. First order of system is defined as first derivative
with respect to time and second order of system is second derivative with respect to time. Our main
topic which we discuss here is First Order Control System.

In theory, first order system is a system which has one integrator. As number of order increases, number
of integrator in a system also increases. Mathematically, it is the first derivative of given function with
respect to time.
We have different techniques to solve system equations using differential equations or Laplace
Transform but engineers have found ways to minimize the technique of solving equations for abrupt
output and work efficiency. The total response of the system is the sum of forced response and natural
response.

The forced response is also called the steady state response or particular equation. The natural response
is also called the homogeneous equation.
