Control System Design UFMFW7-15-3 Pages: 12-15 Aim: To present a coursework (CW) report for analysing, designing, and simulating a control system. Objectives/Marking weights: Students, assumed to act as the control

engineering consultants, will be expected to work alone and each will submit a formal CW report including the following key points. The dynamic plant transfer function: Y(s) U(s) s² +0.6s+4 1) Define a practical engineering plant which would feature similar dynamical behaviour to the given dynamic plant transfer function. Briefly describe the operation of the plant. (5%) 2) Draw two equivalent control system block diagrams, which features the output feedback and the state feedback respectively. Compare the similarity and difference. (5%) 3) Analyse the plant performance such as stability, observability, controllability, and time response to a unit step reference input. (15%) 4) Design a state feedback controller (you specify the reasonable design criteria). (20%) 5) Design a corresponding observer and explain when it will be used. (20%) 6) Provide relevant performance data and analysis from your simulated studies. (15%) 7) Discuss the importance of computational experiments (simulation studies). (5%) 8) Formality of report, including references. (15%) Assessment: All reports must be typed. The assessment will be based on 1) Achieving the aims and objectives. 2) Quality, format, and content of report. 3) Oral explanation on report if required.
