| Summary: | Using advanced principles and techniques, students will be able to design, implement and evaluate controllers for linear systems after completing this course. Building on previous knowledge of continuous-time systems, students will learn new methods to analyze and design control systems in a discrete-time (digital) framework. Students will learn to apply the theory to a simulated real-life system in the context of a MATLAB / Simulink-based project. |
| Course Contents: | Sampled-data (digital) control systems, sampling of signals and systems, state-space models, analysis, observability, controllability, pole placement design, linear-quadratic control, state estimation, Kalman filtering, optimization-based control design, aspects of digital implementation, system identification fundamentals. |
| Study Goals: | After successfully completing the course, students will be able to: 1. analyze discrete-time systems (e.g., sampling, stability, observability); 2. design sampled-data controllers (both state-space and PID); 3. identify issues related to implementation on nonlinear systems (e.g., equilibrium linearization, integrator anti-windup); 4. develop a controller for a simple simulated process (using MATLAB / Simulink software); 5. critically evaluate the performance of the designed sampled-data controller; 6. apply basic system identification techniques to simulated time-series data. |
