Ydinsisältö

• Introduction to control engineering 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. (LTI) Linear Time Invariant. 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.
