Demonstration, Project Plan, Reports

System modelling using state-space equations. Formulation and design of analogous systems (digital twins). Theoretical and practical implementations of multi-input multi-output (MIMO) control systems with nested single-input single-output (SISO) and multi-input single-output (MISO) systems; including decoupling of MIMO systems. Design and implementation of discrete-time state feedback control systems. Systems engineering approach to the design of control systems.

This topic provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the principles of advanced control systems theory and technology as applied to the design and analysis of modern control systems.

At the completion of the topic, students are expected to be able to:

Understand the fundamental principles in relation to modern control systems composition and development
Acquire the knowledge and the mathematical tools for modern control systems modelling
Apply advanced control theory for the analysis of modern control systems in both continuous-time domain and discrete-time domain
Determine the characteristics of a modern control system and their effects on the system performance
Explain a modern control system's stability, controllability, and observability
Understand the practical aspects in relation to the operation of modern control systems and the associated design issues
Design modern control systems in both continuous-time and discrete-time domains to meet particular specifications
Use state-space concepts and methodologies for the design of a variety of state-feedback controllers and observers
Apply industry-compatible design tools and techniques for the study of modern control systems
