A timely introduction to current research on PID and predictive control by one of the leading authors on the subject

PID and Predictive Control of Electric Drives and Power Supplies using MATLAB/Simulink examines the classical control system strategies, such as PID control, feed-forward control and cascade control, which are widely used in current practice.  The authors share their experiences in actual design and implementation of the control systems on laboratory test-beds, taking the reader from the fundamentals through to more sophisticated design and analysis.    The book contains sections on closed-loop performance analysis in both frequency domain and time domain, presented to help the designer in selection of controller parameters and validation of the control system.  Continuous-time model predictive control systems are designed for the drives and power supplies, and operational constraints are imposed in the design.    Discrete-time model predictive control systems are designed based on the discretization of the physical models, which will appeal to readers who are more familiar with sampled-data control system. Soft sensors and observers will be discussed for low cost implementation.  Resonant control of the electric drives and power supply will be discussed to deal with the problems of bias in sensors and unbalanced three phase AC currents.

Researchers and industrial engineers; and graduate students on electrical engineering courses will find this a valuable resource.

Covers PID control systems from the very basics to the advanced topics

This book covers the design, implementation and automatic tuning of PID control systems with operational constraints. It provides students, researchers, and industrial practitioners with everything they need to know about PID control systems—from classical tuning rules and model-based design to constraints, automatic tuning, cascade control, and gain scheduled control. 

PID Control System Design and Automatic Tuning using MATLAB/Simulink introduces PID control system structures, sensitivity analysis, PID control design, implementation with constraints, disturbance observer-based PID control, gain scheduled PID control systems, cascade PID control systems, PID control design for complex systems, automatic tuning and applications of PID control to unmanned aerial vehicles. It also presents resonant control systems relevant to many engineering applications. The implementation of PID control and resonant control highlights how to deal with operational constraints.

Provides unique coverage of PID Control of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including mathematical models of multi-rotor UAVs, control strategies of UAVs, and automatic tuning of PID controllers for UAVs

PID Control System Design and Automatic Tuning using MATLAB/Simulink is intended for undergraduate electrical, chemical, mechanical, and aerospace engineering students, and will greatly benefit postgraduate students, researchers, and industrial personnel who work with control systems and their applications.

Discover the control engineering skills for state space control system design, simulation, and implementation

State space control system design is one of the core courses covered in engineering programs around the world. Applications of control engineering include things like autonomous vehicles, renewable energy, unmanned aerial vehicles, electrical machine control, and robotics, and as a result the field may be considered cutting-edge. The majority of textbooks on the subject, however, lack the key link between the theory and the applications of design methodology.

State Feedback Control and Kalman Filtering with MATLAB/Simulink Tutorials provides a unique perspective by linking state space control systems to engineering applications. The book comprehensively delivers introductory topics in state space control systems through to advanced topics like sensor fusion and repetitive control systems. More, it explores beyond traditional approaches in state space control by having a heavy focus on important issues associated with control systems like disturbance rejection, reference tracking, control signal constraint, sensor fusion and more. The text sequentially presents continuous-time and discrete-time state space control systems, Kalman filter and its applications in sensor fusion.

State Feedback Control and Kalman Filtering with MATLAB/Simulink Tutorials readers will also find:

State Feedback Control and Kalman Filtering with MATLAB/Simulink Tutorials is an ideal resource for students from advanced undergraduate students to postgraduates, as well as industrial researchers and engineers in electrical, mechanical, chemical, and aerospace engineering.

Identification of Continuous-time Models from Sampled Data presents an up-to-date view of this active area of research, describing recent methods and software tools and offering new results in areas such as: time and frequency domain optimal statistical approaches to identification; parametric identification for linear, nonlinear and stochastic systems; identification using instrumental variable, subspace and data compression methods; closed-loop and robust identification; and continuous-time modeling from non-uniformly sampled data and for systems with delay.

The CONTSID toolbox discussed in the final chapter gives an overview of developments and practical examples in which MATLAB® can be used for direct time-domain identification of continuous-time systems. A valuable reference for a broad audience drawn from researchers and graduate students in signal processing as well as in systems and control this book also covers material suitable for specialised graduate courses in these areas.

Model Predictive Control System Design and Implementation Using MATLAB® proposes methods for design and implementation of MPC systems using basis functions that confer the following advantages: - continuous- and discrete-time MPC problems solved in similar design frameworks; - a parsimonious parametric representation of the control trajectory gives rise to computationally efficient algorithms and better on-line performance; and - a more general discrete-time representation of MPC design that becomes identical to the traditional approach for an appropriate choice of parameters.

After the theoretical presentation, coverage is given to three industrial applications. The subject of quadratic programming, often associated with the core optimization algorithms of MPC is also introduced and explained.

The technical contents of this book is mainly based on advances in MPC using state-space models and basis functions. This volume includes numerous analytical examples and problems and MATLAB® programs and exercises.
