1. Introduction
Processes with time delay are difficult to control
1) Delay introduces extra phase lag
2) Reduce stability margins (especially phase margin)
3) Put a stringent limit on the control system
bandwidth

Limited to stable processes.
Unable to reject unknown disturbances.
4) Active disturbance rejection control (ADRC)
To expand the original SP and to improve its performance,
numerous efforts have been made, such as:
Solutions for integral/unstable processes with time-delay,
Disturbance observer based SP.

Available means:
1) Smith predictor (SP)

Similarly to SP, in GP, the predicted plant output is generated and sent to

the controller.
Unable to control unstable processes with significant dead time.
Cascade control structures with dead-time compensation are needed.
