ELEC-E8101 - Digital and Optimal Control D, Lecture, 2.9.2024-3.12.2024

Guest access
Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

After completing the course the student: -can explain the principles of discrete-time modeling and computer control. -can explain the common ideas and differences between analog and digital control. -can design, simulate and implement discrete-time controllers (for example discretized PID or state feedback controllers). -can apply the Principle of Optimality. -can design and implement optimal controllers and observers (LQR, Kalman filter, model predictive controller).
