Learning outcomes

After successful completion of the course, students are able to

  • identify and analyze potential applications and tasks of automatic control,
  • understand the basic principles of open- and closed-loop control of dynamical systems,
  • examine the properties of linear dynamical systems and use linear systems to approximate nonlinear systems locally,
  • choose suitable controller and observer design methods for linear dynamical systems (loop shaping, state space methods) and apply them to application examples,
  • evaluate the properties and performance of designed control systems.

Subject of course

Introduction to continuous-time and discrete-time systems, the concept of state, linearity, time-invariance, state transition matrix, Jordan canonical form, equilibrium points, linearization (around an equilibrium and a trajectory), asymptotic stability of an equilibrium, input-output representation (transfer function, transfer matrix), realization problem for SISO-systems, frequency response (bode plot, nyquist plot), BIBO-stability (Routh-Hurwitz-, Michailov-, Nyquist-criterion), the concept of closed loop versus open loop, performance considerations, internal stability, asymptotic tracking, disturbance rejection, one- and two-degree of freedom loops, cascade control loops, design of control systems in the frequency domain: loopshaping technique (P-, I-, PD-, PI-, PID-, Lead-, Lag-compensator, Notch-filter), reachability and observability (reachability and observability matrix, PBH test, reachability and observability Gramian, Markov parameter and Hankel matrix), design of control systems in the state-space: pole-assignment (formula of Ackermann), observer design (trivial observer, full state Luenberger observer), duality principle, separation principle, implementation of digital controllers.

Teaching methods

attendance lecture, presentation of examples during the lecture, prepared exercise classes (attendance or online via Zoom in the TUWEL course), voluntary bonus exercises

Mode of examination

Written

Additional information

  • Preliminary discussion during the first lecture
  • The exercise course starts in November 2023
  • Used software: Matlab/Simulink + Control System Toolbox, computer algebra program MAPLE
  • Guidelines for the exercise course:
    Exercises are available on the homepage. Both attendance and preparation of the exercises are not compulsory. We will discuss possible solution strategies and the relevant theoretical basics during the online exercise classes. Bonus points for the written exam can be gathered by solving additional examples for selected exercise classes. The collected bonus points are valid for 3 years.
  • If there are any questions about the bonus points, feel free to contact automatisierung376092@acin.tuwien.ac.at, or if you have a special request to a lecturer, contact them personally via email.
