Modified Smith predictor for frequency identification and disturbance rejection of single sinusoidal signal

This paper presents a frequency identification and disturbance rejection scheme for open loop stable time delay systems with disturbance containing a constant signal and a single sinusoidal signal. Astrom's modified Smith predictor is employed to maintain good setpoint tracking performance Disturbance. rejection controller is designed via internal model control principle and functions as a finite dimensional repetitive controller. Extended Kalman filter is designed to track the frequency of unknown periodic disturbance. The simulation results demonstrate the successful performance of the proposed disturbance rejection method for controlling a linear system with time delays, subjected to both step and sinusoidal disturbances.
