摘要：AbstractIn this paper, some detrimental time-domain characteristics (zero-crossings, overshoot(due to zeros) and initial undershoot) are analyzed using the system transfer function model, for identifying the presence of these effects in step response of non-minimum phase linear systems. Moreover, regarding initial undershoot, a theorem for detection using the state-space model, without the need to obtain transfer function, is proposed. In addition to detection, a theorem for estimating the percentage of initial undershoots is also proposed. Applications of these theorems are carried out on load frequency control of hydro-electric power plant which employs hydro-turbine, a non-minimum phase system. Moreover, the effect of a PI controller on initial undershoot is discussed for a general non-minimum phase linear system and illustrated for load frequency control of hydro-electric power plant.
