ELE106 Advanced Control Systems Engineering

Contents and structure

This course contains the principles of modern techniques in modeling, simulation, analysis and design of multivariable control systems.

Advanced control techniques based on state space is taught, in order to get advanced knowledge of automation systems.

Content:

• Simulation techniques
• Root Locus techniques
• Frequency analysis
• Cascade control
• State-space modeling of multivariable systems
• Linearization
• Decoupling of coupled systems
• Method of pole placement.
• Discrete systems
• The z-transform
• Bilinear transform

 

Practical laboratory work is central to the course.

Learning Outcome

After completing the course the candidate has knowledge of

mathematical description of continuous multivariable processes based on state space.

• analysis and design of continuous control systems using the controller and observer design
