LEARNING OUTCOMES
After completing the course the student can: explain the main analysis and synthesis methods to be systematically used in the control of multivariable processes, formulate a well-defined control problem for multivariable processes, choose and implement a suitable solution (method and algorithms) to the control problem, evaluate the performance of the solution, understand the fundamental restrictions in control.

Fundamental restrictions in control. Relative gain array analysis and decoupling compensators. Dynamic programming and linear quadratic control. Loop shaping techniques. Introduction to model predictive control
applies in this implementation
•Classical control theory: SISO-systems, linear or linearized system models•Extension to multivariable (MIMO) systems•Performance and limitations of control•Uncertainty and robustness,•IMC-control,•LQ and LQG control•Optimal control•Introduction to Model Predictive Control
Assessment Methods and Criteria
valid for whole curriculum period:
Two intermediate exams or full exam, homework assignments, which are assessed
applies in this implementation
Two intermediate exams or one full exam are needed to pass the course. Six homework problems are given during the course. You must do and leave for evaluation at least three homework problems. However, to get more homework points it is reasonable to do as many homework exercises as possible, preferably them all.
Workload
valid for whole curriculum period:
Lectures, Exercise hours, Self-study, Homework assignments
Contact hours: 48h
Independent study: 85h
