This unit extends your knowledge in Systems and Control Engineering in the following ways: by introducing the general Roots' Loci method of control system design, by formally introducing discrete-time system dynamics and control, by providing a clear understanding of the Nyquist Stability Criterion for SISO systems, and then by using this understanding in the design of practical single-input/single-output (SISO) control systems, via frequency domain techniques. The course includes a Matlab/Simulink exercise which enables you to design and simulate control systems via frequency domain techniques.
Aims:
To extend the students’ Year II knowledge in Systems and Control Engineering in the following ways:
By the end of the course, students should be able to:
The lectures will be backed-up by extensive use of computer simulations of control systems.
The course will be assessed (100%) by a 3 hour examination in May/June with 2 sections (PB and FD, 3Q per section; candidates to answer 2Q from each section).
