Purpose|Aims

The aim of this course is to enable the students to;

Perform block diagram analysis of feedback control systems
Understand design of controllers using the root locus
Understand the design of controllers using Nyquist frequency techniques

Learning Outcomes

At the end of this course, the student should be able to;

Differentiate between the various control actions and their application
Select an appropriate control action for a specific design
Design PI,PD and PID controllers

Course Description|Content

Dynamic models and dynamic responses:

Models of dynamic system in different equation form.
Linearization, amplitude and time scaling.
Transfer function representation of models.
Time-domain effects such as rise time overshoot, setting time.

Feedback control system concepts and stability:

Essential principles of feedbacks.
Direct block diagram modelling of feedback systems.
Effect of parameter sensitivity and disturbance response, steady state error in feedback system, transient response verses steady state errors.
Stability, Routh-Hurwitz stability criterion, relative stability of feedback.
Determination of root location in S-plane. Root locus method:
Root loci, plotting of root loci.
System design using root loci.
Phase lead and lag compensation using rood loci, computer aided plotting of root loci.

Frequency – response methods:

Frequency response functions, Bode plots, M & N N-circles.
Lead-lag compensation.
Frequency response performance specifications.
Nyquist stability criterion, Nyquist diagram and stability, gain and phase margins, closed-loop frequency response, Stability of control system with time delays.
Examples of |Frequency response design and analysis using a computer-aided control engineering tool such as MATLAB’S Control, System Toolbox.

Teaching and Assessment
