| Summary | The course starts with a revision of dynamic systems, in the context of electrical power systems, leading to the derivation of state space models. Criteria for system stability and observability of multivariable systems are studied.
The methods to design control structures based on feed-forward and feedback loops are presented, using techniques such as pole placement or optimal regulator methods. It develops the analytical tools for the design of appropriate controllers to improve system performance. The design of observers to supplement measurements from sensors will be also introduced. The development of the theoretical and practical frameworks around discrete-time systems will then allow the implementation of controllers on digital platforms.
The students will be asked to implement the control techniques learned during the course in Matlab / Simulink models to familiarize themselves with control dynamics and design of MIMO systems.
