Abstract
This work reveals an Internal Model Control (IMC)-based series cascade control for the non-minimum phase and time delay process. The combination of a higher-order fractional IMC filter and inverse response compensator for designing the outer loop controller illustrates the uniqueness of this work. For the time delay term, a higher-order approximation is considered. The standard IMC-PID structure adopts for the inner loop controller design. While the higher-order fractional filter coupled with inverse response compensator takes for the design of the outer loop controller. The suggested scheme demonstrates enhanced exhibition for setpoint tracking and disturbance rejection. Moreover, the sensitivity analysis is also accomplished to determine the robustness of the closed-loop system under process parameter variations.
