 INTRODUCTION

Sometimes poles and zeros must be added in the forward path to produce a new open-loop
function whose root locus goes through the design point on the s-plane, in order to meet design
requirements. One way to speed up the original system that generally works is to add a single
zero to the forward path.

This zero can be represented by a cascade compensator whose transfer function Gc(s) is:

This function, the sum of a differentiator s and a pure gain Zc, is called an ideal derivative compensation,
or Proportional-Derivative PD controller

How do we implement the PD controller?

The PD compensator used to improve the transient response is implemented with a

proportional-plus-derivative (PD) controller. In Figure 11 the transfer function of
the controller is:
 ADVANTAGES
a. Improves damping and maximum overshoot,

b. reduces rise time and setteling time,

c. increases bandwidth

d. increases gain margin and phase margin,

DISADVANTAGES
a) Cannot eliminate the offset error of proportional controller.
b) Damping ratio is increased.
c) Attenuates high-frequency noise

Applications of Proportional Derivative Controller

a) Used in DC motor position control.
b) Used for tuning of fractional order controllers.
c) Works as high pass filter.
