Prel. scheduled hours: 56
Rec. self-study hours: 104

  Area of Education: Technology

Main field of studies: Electrical Enegineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): A

Aim:
Optimal control consists of theory and methods for controlling dynamical systems so that a mathematical criterion is minimized. The course aims at giving basic theory and engineering oriented computational methods in the area. After taking the course the participants are expected to be able to:
  • Analyze and synthesize optimal open loop control signals using the Maximum principle.
  • Analyze and synthesize optimal feedback laws using the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation.
  • Use numerical software to solve optimal control problems.
  • Describe the connections between optimal control and other optimization approaches.


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Automatic Control

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
The course consists of lectures, problem solving sessions and hand-in assignments.

Course contents:
Formulation of the optimal control problem. The Maximum Principle. Optimal feedback and the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation. Numerical methods for solving optimal control problems. Relations to MPC and convex optimization.

Course literature:
Optimal Control by Ulf Jönsson, Claes Trygger och Petter Ögren

Examination:
Written examination
