Introduction to Control, 5, cr

Code: AUT.130

Language of instruction: English

Description

After the course the student knows some challenges, potentials and limitations of decision & control both within and beyond control engineering; knows typical control structures as well as connections and the roles nature of the control system components; can derive and approximate simple dynamical models in time domain. She/he can derive LTI state space models and transfer functions, simplify block diagrams and perform model conversations; masters typical system terms and concepts including performance specifications; is able to describe and analyze control systems and other dynamical systems; understands and can analyze and even limitedly design stability, damping, accuracy and speed of systems with standard methods; is able to analyze potential stability and performance risks/threats due to uncertainties and protect the system against them; masters a few synthesis and design techniques; can exploit use Matlab, Simulink, Control System Toolbox and Symbolic Toolbox or another similar enough software in the tasks mentioned; is able to communicate on the topics with students and designers educated elsewhere.

Core content

Introduction to control systems.
Specifications. Open loop, feedforward, 1DOF (error feedback) control.
Block diagrams. PID control. Filtering. Alternate implementations and
modifications of PI, PD and PID controllers. Boss knowledge: i.e.
why/what/how should be done for success in the business.
Mathematical Modelling. Equilibrium. Nonlinear control. Linearization. Sensitivity. Standard form of a
linear state space model. Laplace transform. Polynomial and transfer
function models. Simplification of block diagrams. Simulink simulation. Use of Control System Toolbox for modelling and simulation.
Controllability
and observability. Minimum realization. Eigenvalues, poles, zeros.
Internal and external stability. Inverse of a rational Laplace
Transform. On convergence and boundedness of the signals. Reduced Routh
Test.
Periodic phenomena and their frequency
response analysis. Analysis of nominal and robust stability and
performance concerning asymptotic accuracy, speed and damping. Frequency Response Design of Stability and Dynamics.
Derivation, tuning and implementation of compensator and controller structures with functional blocks.
Use of Matlab commands and Control System Toolbox for analysis of stability, accuracy and dynamics.
Seminars without examination needs on two more topics from the list: (1) Root Locus, (2) Nyquist Stability Theorem & Routh Test Cases 2 and 4.
+1cr from Part D:
Parametric Optimal Control and Model Reduction.
Experimental Modelling and Simple Model Approximations.
