1_introduction to Modern Control Lecture 1

Modern Control Theory is an interdisciplinary field that focuses on the behavior of dynamical systems and their modification through feedback mechanisms. It encompasses various control systems, including open-loop and closed-loop systems, and is applicable to multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) systems. While it offers advantages such as optimization and the ability to analyze complex systems, it also involves complex techniques and extensive computations.

INTRODUCTION: MODERN CONTROL
Control Theory or Control Engineering
• is an interdisciplinary branch of Engineering and
Mathematics that deals with the behavior of
dynamical systems with inputs, and how their
behavior is modified by feedback.
• It also involves the design of an engineering product
or system where the requirement is to accurately
control Some quantity, (i.e the temperature in a room
or the position or speed of an electric motor).
INTRODUCTION: MODERN CONTROL
• The usual objective of control theory is to control a
system, often called the plant
INTRODUCTION: MODERN CONTROL
System:
• Is interconnection of elements and devices for a
desired purpose.
Control:
• is the process of causing a system variable to conform
to some desired value.
Control System:
• Is interconnection of components forming a system
configuration that will provide a desired response.
Process:
• Is the device, plant, or system under control.
INTRODUCTION: MODERN CONTROL
Open-Loop Control Systems
• utilize a controller or control actuator to obtain the
desired response.
INTRODUCTION: MODERN CONTROL
Closed-Loop Control Systems
• utilizes feedback to compare the actual output to the
desired output response

INTRODUCTION: MODERN CONTROL
Human System
Pancreas:
• Regulates blood glucose level
Adrenaline:
• Automatically generated to increase the heart rate and
oxygen in times of flight
Eye:
• Follow moving object
Hand:
• Pick up an object and place it at a predetermined location
Temperature:
• Regulated temperature of 36°C to 37°C
INTRODUCTION: MODERN CONTROL
There are THREE major divisions in control theory:
• Classical Control
• Modern Control
• Digital Control
INTRODUCTION: MODERN CONTROL

• Modern control engineering practice includes


the use of control design strategies for improving
manufacturing processes, the efficiency of energy
use, advanced automobile control, including rapid
transit, among others.
INTRODUCTION: MODERN CONTROL
Modern Control Theory
• is carried out in the state space and can deal with
multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) systems.
• This overcomes the limitations of classical control
theory in more sophisticated design problems, such as
fighter aircraft control, with the limitation that no
frequency domain analysis is possible.
INTRODUCTION: MODERN CONTROL
• First order differential equations defined using state
variables; Nonlinear, multivariable, adaptive and
robust control theories are used in MIMO.
• Matrix methods are significantly limited for MIMO
systems where linear independence cannot be
assured in the relationship between inputs and
outputs.
INTRODUCTION: MODERN CONTROL
Advantages of Modern Control Theory
• It is possible to analyze time-varying or time-
invariant, linear or non-linear, single or multiple input-
output systems.
• It is possible to confirm the state of the system
parameters also and not merely input-output
relations.
• It is possible to optimize the systems and useful for
optimal design.
• It is possible to include initial conditions.
INTRODUCTION: MODERN CONTROL
Disadvantages of Modern Control Theory
• Complex techniques
• Many computations are required.
