Feedback

•Feedback is a key tool that can be used to modify the

behavior of a system.
•This behavior altering effect of feedback is a key
mechanism that control engineers exploit deliberately

ensure that the desired performance specifications
are achieved.

Modeling & Design in Control
I. DYNAMIC MODELING
• Deriving a dynamic model ( = set of differential
equations that describes the dynamic behavior of the
plant)
• Linearization the dynamic model if necessary

II. DESIGN OF A CONTROLLER: Several design methods

1. Classical control or Root Locus Design:

Define the transfer function; Apply root locus, loop

shaping,
2. Modern control:
Convert ODE to state equation; Apply Pole Placement,
Robust control, …
3. Nonlinear control: Apply Lyapunov’s stability criterion
