Division: Automatic Control
Course type: Third-cycle course
Teaching language: English
The goal of the course is to give students the tools and training to recognize control problems that are suitable for PID control to present the basic theory for PID control to give students the background required to use the methods in their own research work or applications to give students the tools and training to recognize convex optimization problems that arise in applications to present the basic theory of such problems, concentrating on results that are useful in computation to give students a thorough understanding of how such problems are solved, and some experience in solving them to give students the background required to use the methods in their own research work or applications
Knowledge and Understanding
For a passing grade the doctoral student must Understand the function of the PID controller, its tuning and how it can be used to solve complex control problems.
Competences and Skills
For a passing grade the doctoral student must Be able to tune the PID controller and design larger process sections using the PID controller
Judgement and Approach
For a passing grade the doctoral student must demonstrate the ability to critically evaluate and compare different formulations of control problems for different quality criteria
Model building, the PID controller, design, control principles related to the PID controller
