11.20. Steady-State Errors

The steady-state error for a control system is defined as the difference between the desired output and the final value of the system. It is a measure of the accuracy of a control system.

Consider a simple closed-loop control system whose block diagram is as given in Figure 11.20:

Here,

Hence, the steady-state error can be obtained using the final value theorem, ...
