DIRAC : A finite impulse response direct adaptive controller

A process control strategy based on adaptive control by means of a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) controller will be described. The method is called DIRAC (DIRect Adaptive Control). A simulation study indicates that this control algorithm leads to comparable performance characteristics as a well-tuned PID-type regulator. Moreover it has the advantage that it needs no tuning. The underlying adaptation technique is simple. As a special case a self-tuning PID-controller is obtained.
