Abstract
This paper describes the model identification of control valve dynamics with a time delay. An experimental set-up is used to perform both frequency response and step response measurements on the control valve. An approximate realization algorithm and a new time delay estimation method are applied on the experimental data. The results illustrate that the suggested approach provides a good time delay estimate and a reasonable state space description for the valve dynamics.
