Tasks of system identification: A simplified approach created in a developing country
Abstract
This paper presents a simple identification algorithm for linear models. The main motivation behind this algorithm is to familiarize students and engineers (especially in developing countries) having limited mathematical knowledge with the principles of system identification without adding more mathematical burdens. This is achieved by using the principles of the step response coefficients and its explicit relation with the system parameters. The new algorithm shows ability for identifying models with different orders based on using the physically tangible system step response. The efficiency of this algorithm is illustrated by simulations.
