Description
Control Systems engineering is all about plant and processes (systems) - how they behave when subjected to certain inputs (system response) and how to get them to do what we want (system control). Control Systems Analysis and Design 401 addresses techniques for design of common industrial controllers
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Apply physics-based and System Identification techniques to obtain Laplace Transform models of first and second order systems
2.
Obtain a root locus plot and understand its role in control system design and analysis
3.
Understand the concept of frequency response and its role in control system design
4.
Apply various design techniques to design of PID and Digital PID controllers
5.
Use appropriate software for computer aided design, simulation, testing and analysis of the control design strategies outlined.
6.
Write a professional report on the process of modelling, analysis and control system design applied to practical project work.
Teaching and Learning Strategies
Lectures on background theory with applied examples of implementing the various analysis and design strategies. Students must reflect on theory in completion of regular quiz-type assessments/tutorial sheets.
Practical laboratory sessions where students use computer aided analysis and design software in the design, simulation and testing of control strategies - both on simulations and real physical plant. Students must complete a professional write up of the design process with critical evaluation of the results.

For courses in Control Theory Developing Problem-Solving Skills Through Integrated Design and Analysis The purpose of Dorf's Modern Control Systems, Thirteenth Edition is to present the structure of feedback control theory and to provide a sequence of exciting discoveries. The book demonstrates various real-world, global engineering problems while touching on evolving design strategies like green technology. Some of the themes at-hand include climate change, clean water, sustainability, waste management, emissions reduction, and minimizing energy. Throughout the text, students apply theory to the design and analysis of control systems. The Thirteenth Edition continues to explore the role of and need for automated and precise control systems in green engineering. Key examples of green engineering, such as wind turbine control and the modeling of a photovoltaic generator to achieve maximum power delivery, are discussed in detail. The text is organized around the concept of control systems theory in the context of frequency and time domains. Written to be equally useful for all engineering disciplines, it covers topics such as classical control, employing root locus design, frequency and response design using Bode and Nyquist plots.
