Objectives

Analysis and design of linear dynamic control systems in both contexts of continuous time and sampled data.
Proficiency in the use of computational tools to suport the analysis and design of controllers  for dynamic linear systems.

Learning outcomes and competences

Once this UC is concluded, students should be able to:

  1. Model and analyze linear dynamic control systems by using methods and tools in te frequency domain - Root Locus and Bode Plots - in the context of periodically sampled data and to design compensators using these tools.

  2. Analyze linear dynamic control systems represented in the state space and design linear feedback controllers and linear state estimators in both discrete and continuous time.

  3. Formulate linear quadratic optimal control problems and compute their optimal control strategies.

  4. Use computacional tools to support the analysis of control systems and the design controllers.

Teaching methods and learning activities

Exposition classes: Presentation and discussion of the various topics of the curricular unit. Detailed explanation of examples of application of concepts and methods.
Exercises solving classes: Practical execises are solved by the students with the support of the teacher by clarifying the issues that they might raise. Follow-up of the work  in the mini projects support by the use of MATLAB.

Eligibility for exams

Frequency is obtained through the participation in the classes and in the mini-project.

Calculation formula of final grade

The student's grading may involve two stages:
First stage composed by 3 components:
Final exam: 10/20
Mini-project: 6/20
Mini-test: 4/20
The final grading for thi stage is obtained by adding the three components.
The second stage is optional and consists of only one written examination which is valued up to 20/20.

Examinations or Special Assignments

Mini-project: design a control system using MATLAB

Internship work/project

NA

Classification improvement

The second stage is optional and consists of only one written examination which is valued up to 20/20.
