Course Objectives
Control loops are used in many technical devices and industrial applications. Examples can be found in automotive applications, process and production industry, manufacturing processes, home appliances, medical applications, robotics, etc. In order to support the development and advance of such systems, this course studies fundamental properties of control systems and teaches widely-used controller design techniques. The topics of the course include
- Analysis of plant/open loop properties and their effect on the design of control systems
- PID controller design methods and anti-windup
- Polynomial approach for pole placement
- Smith predictor for time-delay systems
- Model predictive control
- Numerical simulation.
Course Content
Fundamental limits in the feedback loop, advanced controller design techniques, PID design, polynomial approach, Smith predictor, anti-windup, model predictive control, control design examples, numerical solution of ordinary differential equations ,explicit and implicit numerical solution methods, numerical stability.
Course Learning Outcomes
At the end of the course, the students will be able to
- understand fundamental limitations for the design of control systems
- apply various controller design methods
- identify suitable control methods for different control problems
- perform numerical simulation of dynamic systems.
