  • TITLE: Analysis of Reset Control Systems Consisting of a FORE and Second-Order Loop
  • AUTHORS: Qian Chen, Yossi Chait and C.V. Hollot
  • ABSTRACT: Reset controllers consist of two parts - a linear compensator and a reset element. The linear compensator is designed, in the usual ways, to meet all closed-loop performance specifications while relaxing the overshoot constraint. Then, the reset element is chosen to meet this remaining step-response specification. In this paper, we consider the case when such linear compensation results in a second-order (loop) transfer function and where a first-order reset element (FORE) is employed. We analyze the closed-loop reset control system addressing performance issues such as stability, steady-state response and transient performance.
