Virtual analogue simulation of control systems
|
Abstract This article describes the method of virtual analogue simulation (VAS) using PSpice for learning control systems. Examples are included to demonstrate the application of VAS in studying system transient responses. The effects of controller compensation, component nonlinearity, and transport delays on system performance can be observed readily with VAS.
1 INTRODUCTION
Historically, computer simulation employs analogue, digital or hybrid computers to provide solutions to a physical system which can be described by mathematical models. Simulation often allows us to focus on the ...
