systems based on derived state-space models
- Be able to handle the real-time issues of digital
implementation in a professional manner
- Be able to make a cost-benefit analysis of the automated power
electronic system or apparatus
Competences
- Be able to analyse and design a controller in a professional
way
- Be able to perform the real-time analysis and programming of
the designed controller
- Be able to evaluate the basic economic conditions for the
development and commissioning of systems or devices
