41277 Control Design

Description

This electrical and electronic engineering common core subject provides a comprehensive introduction to principles and techniques used in the analysis and design of control systems. Students explore topics such as mathematical modelling of dynamic systems, transfer function and state-space representations, stability analysis, frequency response methods, and feedback control. They gain practical experience through demonstrations and simulations, while preparing for more advanced project work in control systems. By the end of the subject, students are able to transform a manual plant into an autonomous system by mathematically representing and analysing the behaviour of a dynamic system, designing stable control strategies, and guarantee closed-loop dynamic performance. Students can apply this knowledge to engineering challenges in areas such as Industry 4.0, robotics, automation, renewable energy integration, electric vehicles, and all kinds of electromechanical systems.
