description | Tank level control has some unavoidable factors such as disturbance, non-linearity, and time lag. This paper proposes a simple and robust control scheme with nice energy-saving effects and smooth output to improve the quality of the controller and meet real-world application requirements. A linear controller is first designed using a third-order closed-loop gain-shaping algorithm. We then use an arcsine function to modify the system with non-linear switching to reduce the effect of the non-linear modification on the dynamic performance of the control system. Furthermore, we use the Nyquist stability criterion to demonstrate the stability of the closed-loop system in the presence of time lag. The results of the final simulation experiment show that the controller not only has high control quality but also has the characteristics of energy saving and smooth output under the condition of lag and pump performance constraints. These features are necessary for extending the life of the pump and enhancing the applicability of the tank level controller. |
