Learning objectives

Knowledge

• Have gained an in-depth understanding of basic aspects of multivariable control design, the approaches, the key quantities to consider and the fundamental limitations inherent in the design
• Be able to, on a scientific basis, to understand and apply advanced model based control design tools
• Be able to document understanding of multivariable systems (multiple inputs and multiple outputs MIMO)

Skills

• Be able to understand the fundamental performance limitations of single input and single output (SISO) systems
• Be able to represent linear systems in different ways: Transfer functions matrices, input-output equations, state space form, etc.
• Be able to understand what disturbances are, and to describe their character in a suitable way
• Be able to set up design specifications for MIMO systems
• Be able to understand basic limitations in control design
• Be able to set up the configuration of multivariable controllers
• Be able to design linear multivariable controllers

Competences

• Be able to undertake analysis, design and implementation of advanced multivariable control systems where experience and intuition play a very important role
