Control Systems Engineering

CHEN XINKAI
Purpose of class
This course will discuss the handling and simulation of control systems through the state space method, estimate dynamic characteristics, and control system design methods through modern control theory.
Course content
This course will discuss the handling and simulation of control systems through the state space method, estimate dynamic characteristics, and control system design methods through modern control theory. Specifically, equation of state will be introduced and its relation to transfer functions will be explained. Then, the controllability and observability concepts based on coordinate conversion will be introduced. After raising basic theories relating to control system stabilization, control system design methods through modern control theory and several examples of application will be described.
Goals and objectives
  1. Students can understand of modern control theory.
  2. Students can design a control system based on state-space approach.
  3. Students can apply the control design theory to practical systems.

Evaluation method and criteria
1. The evaluation depends on the presentations in reading club format (30%), report (30%) and examination (40%).
2. 60 points (60%) implies that students can solve 60% of the exercises listed at the end of the chapters. And this implies the students can design the basic control systems based on state-space approach and can apply the control design theory to simple practical systems.
