find the model parameters for an integrating system in matlab

To find the model parameters for an integrating system in Matlab using system identification and parameter estimation techniques, you can follow these steps:

  1. Collect data: Obtain input-output data for the integrating system, either through experiments or simulations.

  2. Define the model: Choose a suitable model structure that captures the dynamics of the integrating system. One common model for an integrating system is the first-order transfer function with time delay:

main.m
G(s) = K / (tau*s + 1) * exp(-L*s)

where K is the gain, tau is the time constant, L is the time delay and s is the Laplace variable.

  1. Identify the parameters: Use the System Identification Toolbox in Matlab to estimate the parameters of the chosen model. This can be done by using one of the built-in identification algorithms (e.g. ARX, ARMAX) or by specifying your own custom model and estimation procedure.
main.m
% Example code using the ARX algorithm
data = iddata(output, input, Ts); % Create an iddata object
model = arx(data, [na, nb, nk]); % Estimate model parameters

4 lines

where output and input are the output and input data, respectively, Ts is the sample time, na, nb and nk are the orders of the model.

  1. Validate the model: Check the quality of the estimated model by comparing its output with the actual output of the integrating system.
main.m
% Example code for validating the model
y_model = sim(model, data); % Simulate the model output
compare(data, y_model); % Compare the actual and estimated outputs

  1. Use the model: Once you have validated the model, you can use it for simulation, control design or any other application that requires a mathematical representation of the integrating system.
main.m
% Example code for using the model
sys = tf(model); % Convert the identified model to a transfer function
step(sys); % Simulate the step response of the system
