Aim:
The course gives the basic theory required to solve more difficult control problems. This implies analysis and design of multivariable systems, basic insights in nonlinear phenomena, in particular methods for nonlinear stability analysis as well as tradeoffs and basic limitations for control systems. A course goal is also to give an ability in using computer based control design. When the course is finished the participants are expected to be able to
  • Describe possibilities and limitations in multivariable control design and given an account of conflicts between performance requirements.
  • Model disturbances, analyze their influence and design control systems to counteract them.
  • Calculate stationary points, linearize and perform local analysis of state space systems.
  • Perform stability analysis using the circle criterion, describing functions and elementary Lyapunov theory.
  • Design multivariable control systems using LQG methods, loop shaping methods and computer based tools (and in very simple cases by hand calculations).
  • Design controllers that completely eliminate simple nonlinearities.
