Abstract

This thesis is concerned with the problem of automatically identifying a process which can be described by a linear 2nd order differential equation. A model method which uses ordinary operating records but which does not require the long time intervals of statistical methods is used to implement the identification. The effects on identification of several automatic gain configurations are considered and compared with the standard configuration. Frequency and transient response performance is calculated by means of an equivalent circuit and compared to experimental data. The effects of noise are also investigated. The experimental results for A perturbation are presented separately and in detail. The B and C. perturbation data is presented jointly and referenced to the A perturbation section because of the basic similarity in results.
