Course contents :
|
| Maintaining a system in a specific operating condition is a common task, both in technical applications as well as in the life sciences. Examples are of control applications are autopilots, Electronic Stability Control, homeostasis, temperature control in a room (thermostat) or in the human body (thermoregulation) ...
A brief overview of the content of this course:
- Modelling and control of linear feedback control systems
- Open-loop and closed-loop concepts
- Analysis and synthesis of state-space models: controllability and observability
- Separation principle
- Frequency methods for loop analysis (Bode, Nyquist, loop-shaping, sensitivity functions, performance limitations)
- PID and lead-lag control
- State observer
- Static and dynamic state feedback
- Robustness and performance
- Advantages and drawbacks of feedback control
|
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| At the end of this course, the student will master basic concepts of feedback control theory. He or she will be able to model feedback systems and to use synthesis and analysis methods on feedback systems in both frequency and state space domains.
This course is taught in English, with support material available in English. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Prerequisites: SYST002 or equivalent linear systems course. This concerns in particular the chapters 4, 5 and 8 of the book Feedback Systems by Karl J. Åström and Richard M. Murray.
Understanding documents written in English is necessary (level B2 or LANG0038-1 Anglais). Oral understanding of English is advantageous for the lectures. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| The course is based on ex-cathedra lectures, interactive exercise sessions and 5 laboratory sessions. The exercises contain in part questions that require the use of a computer with Matlab or equivalent software.
Participation and presence at the ex-cathedra lectures and at the interactive exercises is voluntary, though highly recommended. Participation in the 5 laboratory session is however mandatory.
This course is taught in English. Students may ask questions in French or English. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| Face-to-face |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| The course follows the book Feedback Systems by Karl J. Åström and Richard M. Murray, Princeton University Press 2008, ISBN: 9780691135762, freely available on the page http://www.cds.caltech.edu/~murray/amwiki/index.php/Main_Page
Supplementary documents for optional reading are available on
http://www.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/systems/SYST003/syst003.htm |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| 20% laboratory project,
80 % final exam
The mark for the laboratory is based on oral examinations at the end of the lab sessions 2-5. The participation in the laboratories is required for access to the final exam. The lab mark is valid one year.
In the first exam session, the final exam is a written one. Any written document/notes can be used, but not any electronic aides. The questions open-ended and available in French and English.
In the second exam session, the final exam is an oral one, in French, German or English, at the student's choice.
The written exam does not contain theoretical questions. Reasoning or explications of concepts are however included. Solving exercises demands the mastering of theoretical concepts and results. In particular, theoretical justifications may be asked. The exams do not contain questions on the usage of computers. |
|
Organizational remarks :
|
| The course is organised in the first 1st quadrimestre, during one afternoon a week. The two hours ex-cathedra are followed by two hours interactive exercise sessions, partly with optional questions requiring Matlab or a similar software.
The detailed calendar is on page http://www.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/systems/SYST003/syst003.htm
The scheduling of the lab session will take place in the first three weeks of the term, see the above mentioned web page for details. (http://www.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/systems/SYST003/syst003.htm) |
