Course specific prerequisites

The course LEU236 Dynamical systems and control engineering, or equivalent knowledge.

Aim

The course aims at giving deeper theoretical and practical knowledge in design, dimensioning and analysis of technical feedback systems. Special focus is on modeling and simulation as well as on components in computer-based control systems.

Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)

  • describe common methods for design of controllers, e.g. methods for discrete-time systems and multivariable systems, as well as state feedback control.
  • formulate models of common linear and nonlinear processes.
  • use common components in control systems, e.g. transmitters, sensors, control valves and computer-based controllers.
  • use computer-based tools for simulation and design of dynamic feedback systems.
  • search effectively for information in books, journals and local databases. 
  • evaluate information with regards to relevance and quality.
  • use a process-oriented approach to writing, which includes giving and receiving constructive feedback. 
  • identify and analyse technical methods
  • use strategies to improve written proficiency in English

Content

  • Design of time discrete control systems using the pole placement method.
  • State space models and state feedback control.
  • Modelling of commonly used processes.
  • Linearization of systems in state space form.
  • Multivariable control and parametric optimization, feed forward, cascade control and adaptive control.
  • Automatic control in practice: sensors, actuators, signal transmission etc.
  • Computer exercises in MATLAB Control Toolbox and Simulink.
  • Written analysis of technical content

Organisation

The course comprises lectures, exercises, laborations, and home assignments. At laborations attendance is compulsory.

Literature
