Hugo * Capstone Technology Corporation, 805 Waingarth Way, Danville, CA 94526, United States Received 18 May 2005; received in revised form 11 March 2006; accepted 15 March 2006 Abstract The most common metric for controller performance assessment is a comparison of the process output variance to that which would have been obtained if some optimal controller had been applied to the process over the same time frame. Usually this optimal controller is a minimum variance controller, as a metric based on this controller requires a minimum of process knowledge and no plant tests. While minimum variance controllers by definition contain an accurate disturbance model, industrial controllers contain a simple fixed distur- bance model, which may or may not be an accurate representation of the actual disturbance. Shown in this paper is the effect that this simple disturbance model has on performance indices, and methodologies for controller performance assessment that accounts for this simple model. In addition, a performance metric for non-deadtime-compensated (i.e., PID) controllers is shown. 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
