Course content
Introduction to practical control engineering. Representation of dynamic systems with ordinary differential equations. Linearization. Laplace transform and transfer functions. Block diagrams. Frequency analysis. Experimental and mathematical modelling of physical processes. Stability theory and stability investigations. Tuning of PID-controllers based on analyses both in the time and frequency domain. Practical limitations and alternative control structures. Realization of control algorithms. State space.
Learning outcome
Knowledge: The candidate can explain
- the purpose of introducing control loops.
- functioning and purpose with each component in a control loop.
- correspondence between the presented representational forms for dynamic systems.
- the terms steady-state and dynamic error, reaction time and stability, and how they can be specified.
- how the choice of controller influences steady-state deviation, response time and stability.
Skills: The candidate can
- carry out experimental and mathematical modelling of simple processes.
- draw block diagrams of simple processes.
- reduce block diagrams.
- tune controllers using the lectured methods.
- calculate how disturbances influence both the controlled and uncontrolled system.
- analyze stability, and quantify stability margin.
- make use of modern computer tools within all mentioned areas.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures, self study, assignments and laboratory exercises
Compulsory assignments
- Exercises
- Lab. work
Further on evaluation
Final grade is based on a mid-term (33 %) as well as a final (67 %) exam. Both separately must be passed. Exams can be retaken as separate units. Grades for each exam can be challenged separately. 6 mandatory assignments are given. One (1) assignment must be approved before mid-term exam. Four (4) assignments must be approved before the final exam. In addition, a mandatory lab program must be approved before the final exam. Examination aids allowed: Specified text books in original binding. Hand written notes on book pages allowed. Bookmarks without text allowed. Simple, specified calculator.
Specific conditions
Exam registration requires that class registration is approved in the same semester. Compulsory activities from previous semester may be approved by the department.
Admission to a programme of study is required:
Electrical Engineering (BIELEKTRO)
Renewable Energy (BIFOREN)
Recommended previous knowledge
First year of programme
Required previous knowledge
For applications for credentials, approval and incorporating of courses from previous semesters or other institutions' corresponding education programs, each application will be processed individually and the applicant should expect credit reductions for overlapping courses.
Course materials
Lecture notes. Exercises and laboratory exercises with solutions. Textbook is specified at the start of the semester.
