Experimental comparison of new adaptive PI controllers based on the ultra-local model parameter identification

This paper is devoted to an experimental comparison between two different methods of ultra-local model control. The concept of the first proposed technique is based on the linear system resolution technique to estimate the ultra-local model parameters. The second proposed method is based on the linear adaptive observer which allows the joint estimation of state and unknown system parameters. The closed-loop control is implemented via an adaptive PID controller. In order to show the efficiency of these two control strategies, experimental validations are carried out on a two-tank system. The experimental results show the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed controllers.
