It is shown that, by incorporating fast on-line recursive identifiers to provide updated step-response matrices for inclusion in digital proportional-plus-integral control laws, highly robust adaptive digital setpoint tracking PI controllers can be readily designed for multivariable plants. The effectiveness of this methodology is illustrated by designing an adaptive digital setpoint tracking PI controller for a gas turbine using both exactly parametrised and grossly under-parametrised models.
