Sensor data validation using gray models.

A new method based on the gray model is described for the online validation of measurements. A gray model is a differential equation describing the behavior of an accumulate generating operation (AGO) data sequence. First-order gray models are fitted to measuring data records using the recursive orthogonal least-squares algorithm. Predictions derived from the fitted gray model are then compared with the actual measurements to generate a prediction error sequence. The quality of the measured value is determined by the prediction errors and variance of the prediction error sequence. Experimental results for detecting the quality of measurements from a thermistor are presented.

Autotuning positive feedback time delay controller for dead time processes.

Biased relay feedback tests are applied to dead time processes to obtain their ultimate gains and ultimate frequencies. First-order process with dead time models are then fitted to the estimated gains and frequencies. A time delay controller that incorporates a simple compensator with a delay element in positive feedback can be derived from the fitted model. The time delay controller gives better performance comparing with classical Ziegler and Nichols tuned PID controller. Experimental study is included to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed tuning scheme and the time delay control algorithm.
