Practical Control System Design
John Wiley & Sons Inc (Verlag)
978-1-394-16818-7 (ISBN)
Inspired by the authors’ industrial experience in control, Practical Control System Design: Real World Designs Implemented on Emulated Industrial Systems captures that experience, along with the necessary background theory, to enable readers to acquire the tools and skills necessary to tackle real world control engineering design problems. The book draws upon many industrial projects conducted by the authors and associates; these projects are used as case studies throughout the book, organized in the form of Virtual Laboratories so that readers can explore the studies at their own pace and to their own level of interest. The real-world designs include electromechanical servo systems, fluid storage, continuous steel casting, rolling mill center line gauge control, rocket dynamics and control, cross directional control in paper machines, audio quantisation, wind power generation (including 3 phase induction machines), and boiler control.
To facilitate reader comprehension, the text is accompanied by software to access the individual experiments. A full Solutions Manual for the questions set in the text is available to instructors and practicing engineers.
Background theory covered in the text includes control as an inverse problem, impact of disturbances and measurement noise, sensitivity functions, Laplace transforms, Z-Transforms, shift and delta operators, stability, PID design, time delay systems, periodic disturbances, Bode sensitivity trade-offs, state space models, linear quadratic regulators, Kalman filters, multivariable systems, anti-wind up strategies, Euler angles, rotational dynamics, conservation of mass, momentum and energy as well as control of non-linear systems.
Practical Control System Design: Real World Designs Implemented on Emulated Industrial Systems is a highly practical reference on the subject, making it an ideal resource for undergraduate and graduate students on a range of control system design courses. The text also serves as an excellent refresher resource for engineers and practitioners.
