Advanced Control

Course aim

• Multivariable calculus and optimisation
• Model and control multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) systems
• Select and design appropriate controllers in both classical and modern (state-space) representations of systems to meet defined criteria
• Apply model predictive control principles to complex real-world processes

Course content

Modelling and control of single input, single output (SISO) and multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) systems. Intelligent controllers including: expert systems, multivariable feedback control, fuzzy logic and neural networks. Analyse and design model predictive controllers for complex real-world processes. Practical implementation considerations and limitations of control systems. Functions of more than one real variable. Partial derivatives and differentiability; linear partial differential equations. Optimisation with constraints.
