Lecture 6 : Compensator Design Using Bode Plot

Now,

\begin{displaymath}  \begin{array}{l}  K_v = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{w \to 0} wC(w)G_w(w) = 2\\  \\  \Rightarrow K = 2 \\  \end{array}  \end{displaymath}


Using MATLAB command ``margin'', phase margin of the system with K = 2 is computed as 31.6° with ωg = 1.26 rad/sec, as shown in Figure 3.

Thus the required phase lead is 50° - 31.6° = 18.4° . After adding a safety margin of 11.6° , $ \phi _{\max }$ becomes 30° . Hence

$\displaystyle \alpha = \left( {\frac{{1 - \sin (29^o )}}{{1 + \sin (29^o )}}}  \right) = 0.33  $

From the frequency response of the system it can be found out that at ω = 1.75 rad/sec, the magnitude of the system is $ -20 \log_{10} \dfrac{1}{\sqrt \alpha}$. Thus ωmax = ωgnew = 1.75 rad/sec. This gives


$\displaystyle 1.74 = \frac{1}{{\tau \sqrt \alpha }}  $
Or, $\displaystyle \tau = \frac{1}{{1.74\sqrt{0.33}}} = 1  $


Thus the controller in w-plane is

$\displaystyle C(w) = 2 \frac{1+w}{1+0.33 w} $

The Bode plot of the compensated system is shown in Figure 4.

Re-transforming the above controller into z -plane using the relation $ w=10\dfrac{z-1}{z+1}$, we get the controller in z -plane, as
