Predictive Predictive Functional Control 1_5 - catering for dead-time
Because PFC is a prediction based approach, it is unsurprising that it can cater for large dead-times in a systematic fashioin. Nevertheless, due to the design being based on a specific coincidence, it is important to clarify precisely how the relevant coincidence condition can be stated. This video shows that this is largely obvious as long as one remembers to make use of unbiased predictions. However, a neat insight is that one can use low coincidence horizons (less than the dead-time) by exploiting information from the independent model and this tends to given much better behaviour.
Lectures aimed at engineering undergraduates. Presentation focuses on understanding key prinicples, processes and problem solving rather than mathematical rigour.
