14. Description of lectures
The course aims the study of the analytical and control design methods of electromechanical systems. First, the modeling paradigms and state space representations are outlined. After this, system analysis is presented, such as controllability, observability and stability, Through the control design problem, the course examines the different qualitative properties, and the consideration techniques of system uncertainties and disturbances. From the classical methods, the pole allocation and the quadratic linear control is presented. The course focuses on the interpretation of the observer design and the separation principle.
Course thematic:
  • System modeling based on physical principles
  • Analysis in time and frequency domain
  • State space of dynamic systems
  • Quantitative properties and stability analysis of closed loop systems
  • Properties of state space representations
  • Controllability and observability of state space representations
  • Compensator design
  • Full state feedback with pole allocation
  • Controller design with linear quadratic method
  • Separation principle and observer design
15. Description of practices
 
16. Description of labortory practices
In the laboratory practice the computerized implementation and evaluation of the known control theory models and algorithms is performed.

18. Requirements, way to determine a grade (obtain a signature)
One midterm exam, which is successfull if 50% of its points are reached. The mark of the course depends on the result of the midterm exam (50%) and on the result of the successful written final exam (50%). The final exam is successfull, if 50% of its points are reached.
19. Opportunity for repeat/retake and delayed completion
The midterm exam can be retried once
