Main Document

Level Control - PID with feedforward action (lead-lag) 

written by Nicolas Magdelaine

The Level Control Java model is a ready to run Java programs (jar file) proportional-integral-derivative simulation of a tank with inflow and outflow. The inflow (admission) valve is controlled and the outflow (consumption) flow represents the disturbance. The control law is the addition of a PID on the error and a lead-lag on the disturbance. The user can modify the tuning of both control laws to compare the performances with different tuning parameters.

See the supplemental pdf documentation for a complete description of this model.
