Course content

The course contains a selection of the following topics, with an emphasis on practical use of digital tools: 

  • Modelling and simulation of dynamical systems/processes; 
  • State space models, state space analysis, and conversion to transfer functions; 
  • System identification and model fitting; 
  • Methods for designing, tuning and analyzing controllers;
  • Design of control-relevant filters and lead-lad elements;
  • Alternative control structures such as feed-forward, cascade, and ratio control; 
  • Solutions related to certain practical challenges in control systems;
  • Nonlinear systems, linearization, and gain scheduling;
  • Methods for analysis and control of multivariable systems;
  • Observers and state estimation.
  • Other topics are possible.
