Learning outcomes
On successful completion of the course, the student should be able to
- analyse systems and design feedback controllers in frequency domain
- analyse systems and design controllers and state estimators in time domain and state-space representation
- use techniques for design and implementation of discrete control systems
Contents
System analysis in frequency domain, control design assisted by frequency responses, limitations and instabilities of SISO control systems, state-space modeling and state-space system analysis, similarity transformations and control design in state-space, design of LQR controllers, observer design and observer-based controllers, introduction to Kalman filtering, integral and robust tracking controls, z-domain and z-transformations, digital control techniques.
Examples and exercises in the subject will be related to electric motor drives, robotic manipulators, and servo techniques based on the valve-controlled hydraulic systems.
