Course content

The course contains a selection of the following topics, with an emphasis on practical use of digital tools:

  • Modelling and simulation of dynamical systems/processes;
  • State space models, state space analysis, linearization and conversion to transfer functions;
  • System identification and model fitting;
  • Methods for tuning and analyzing controllers, including direct synthesis, SIMC and frequency analysis;
  • Alternative control structures such as feed-forward, gain scheduling, cascade- and ratio control;
  • Solutions related to certain practical challenges, including anti-windup, dead-time compensation, bumpless transfer, and anti-aliasing filters;
  • Methods for analysis and control of multivariate systems, including condition number and singular value analysis;
  • Other topics are possible.

Learning outcome

Knowledge: The candidate can explain

  • the need for- and the basic functionality of modern ODE solvers;
  • aliasing as a phenomenon, and the purpose of an anti-aliasing filter;
  • the phenomenon of wind-up, and solutions to this problem;
  • the principles behind methods such as direct synthesis and SIMC;
  • control structures such as feed-forward, gain scheduling, dead-time compensation, cascade- and ratio control;
  • challenges and solutions associated with multivariable control systems.

Skills: The candidate can

  • perform mathematical modeling of dynamical systems;
  • implement simple one-step methods for numerical simulation of ordinary differential equations;
  • use modern computer tools for simulation, control and analysis of dynamical systems;
  • design, adjust and analyze simple controllers by, among other things, frequency analysis, direct synthesis and SIMC;
  • be able to identify and fit simple process models from step responses;
  • analyze simple multivariable control systems.

General competence: The candidate understands the strengths and limitations of theoretical studies in relation to experimental work, in addition to having a basis for further specialization in advanced control engineering methods.

Digitalization: The course contributes by enabling the candidate to use modern computer tools as an aid in all mentioned skill moments.
