Advanced EMS Control (866H1)
Advanced Topics in Control of Electromechanical Systems
Module 866H1
Module details for 2022/23.
15 credits
FHEQ Level 7 (Masters)
Pre-Requisite
H6104 Systems Analysis and Control
Module Outline
This module follows on the other two control modules: Systems Analysis and Control (H6104) and Control Engineering (H6105), introducing advanced topics in control of nonlinear electromechanical systems. The students will learn stability theory, to analyse performance of nonlinear systems and advanced control systems design methods, and apply these theory and methods to electromechanical systems.
Topics include:
• Introduction to nonlinear systems
• Lyapunov theory and advanced stability theory
• Feedback linearization
• Sliding mode control
• Adaptive control
• Neural network control
• Extension to multi-input systems
