Feedback Control, Advanced Course, 7.5 Higher education credits

Reglerteknik, fördjupningskurs, 7,5 Högskolepoäng

Established: 2024-03-04

Established by: Department of Engineering Science

Applies from: H24

Learning outcomes

After completing the course, the student should be able to:

• define and explain basic concepts for multivariable systems and analyse how process characteristics put limitatoins on the control performance that can be achieved
• translate specifications into mathematical optimization problems (LQG, Hinf, MPC, adaptive controllers)
• demonstrate understanding for relationships and limitations when simplified models are used to describe complex dynamical systems.

Entry requirements

General entry requirements and approved result from the following course/courses:

MFA600-Mechatronics for Automation and

SRT700-Systems and Control and

STB600-Sensor Technology and Image Analysis or the equivalent.

The forms of assessment of student performance

Individual project work with individual written report. Laboratory work in group with individual written report.

Course contents

The technical content of the course, covered through lectures, exercises and laboratory work includes: the control design process, signal size, gain, stability, sensitivity, robustness, the small-gain theorem, transfer function matrices, disturbance models in the time domain and frequency domain, frequency-domain specifications, fundamental limitations and trade-offs, controller structures, and internal model control, linear-quadratic optimization of state feedback and Kalman filter, synthesis using convex optimization. The course also covers gain scheduling, the MIT rule, and adaptive reference regulation (MRAC).
