True Digital Control by C. James Taylor,Peter C. Young,Arun Chotai Pdf

True Digital Control: Statistical Modelling andNon–Minimal State Space Designdevelops a true digitalcontrol design philosophy that encompasses data–basedmodel identification, through to control algorithm design,robustness evaluation and implementation. With a heritage from bothclassical and modern control system synthesis, this book issupported by detailed practical examples based on theauthors’ research into environmental, mechatronic and roboticsystems. Treatment of both statistical modelling and control designunder one cover is unusual and highlights the important connectionsbetween these disciplines. Starting from the ubiquitous proportional–integralcontroller, and with essential concepts such as pole assignmentintroduced using straightforward algebra and block diagrams, thisbook addresses the needs of those students, researchers andengineers, who would like to advance their knowledge of controltheory and practice into the state space domain; and academics whoare interested to learn more about non–minimal state variablefeedback control systems. Such non–minimal state feedback isutilised as a unifying framework for generalised digital controlsystem design. This approach provides a gentle learning curve, fromwhich potentially difficult topics, such as optimal, stochastic andmultivariable control, can be introduced and assimilated in aninteresting and straightforward manner. Key features: Covers both system identification and control systemdesign in a unified manner Includes practical design case studies and simulationexamples Considers recent research into time–variable andstate–dependent parameter modelling and control, essentialelements of adaptive and nonlinear control system design, and thedelta–operator (the discrete–time equivalent of thedifferential operator) systems Accompanied by a website hosting MATLAB examples True Digital Control: Statistical Modelling andNon–Minimal State Space Design is a comprehensive andpractical guide for students and professionals who wish to furthertheir knowledge in the areas of modern control and systemidentification.

Optimal Control of Greenhouse Cultivation by Gerrit van Straten,Gerard van Willigenburg,Eldert van Henten,Rachel van Ooteghem Pdf

Greenhouse control system manufacturers produce equipment and software with hundreds of settings and, while they hold training courses on how to adjust these settings, there is as yet no integrated instruction on when or why. Despite rapid growth in the greenhouse industry, growers are still faced with a multitude of variables and no unifying framework from which to choose the best option. Consolidating 30 years of research in greenhouse climate control, Optimal Control of Greenhouse Cultivation utilizes mathmatical models to incorporate the wealth of scientific knowledge into a feasible optimal control methodology for greenhouse crop cultivation. Discussing several different paradigms on greenhouse climate control, it integrates the current research into physical modeling of the greenhouse climate in response to heating, ventilation, and other control variables with the biological modeling of variables such as plant evapo-transpiration and growth. Key topics include state-space greenhouse and crop modeling needed for the design of integrated optimal controllers that exploit rather than mitigate outside weather conditions, especially sunlight, given widely different time scales. The book reviews classical rule-based and multivariable feedback controllers in comparison with the optimal hierarchical control paradigm. It considers real and hypothetical examples including lettuce, tomato, and solar greenhouses and examines experimental results of greenhouse climate control using optimal control software. The book concludes with a discussion of open issues as well as future perspectives and challenges. Providing a tool to automatically determine the most economical controls and settings for their operation, this much-needed book relieves growers of unnecessary control tasks, and allows them to achieve the best possible trade-off between short term savings and optimal harvest yield.

STATE FEEDBACK CONTROL AND KALMAN FILTERING WITH MATLAB/SIMULINK TUTORIALS 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: MATLAB and Simulink tutorials in a step-by-step manner that enable the reader to master the control engineering skills for state space control system design and Kalman filter, simulation, and implementation An accompanying website that includes MATLAB code High-end illustrations and tables throughout the text to illustrate important points Written by experts in the field of process control and state space control systems 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 Systems by N.K. Sinha,G.P. Rao Pdf

In view of the importance of system identification, the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC) and the International Federation of Operational Research Societies (IFORS) hold symposia on this topic every three years. Interest in continuous time approaches to system identification has been growing in recent years. This is evident from the fact that the of invited sessions on continuous time systems has increased from one in the 8th number Symposium that was held in Beijing in 1988 to three in the 9th Symposium in Budapest in 1991. It was during the 8th Symposium in August 1988 that the idea of bringing together important results on the topic of Identification of continuous time systems was conceived. Several distinguished colleagues, who were with us in Beijing at that time, encouraged us by promising on the spot to contribute to a comprehensive volume of collective work. Subsequently, we contacted colleagues all over the world, known for their work in this area, with a formal request to contribute to the proposed volume. The response was prompt and overwhelmingly encouraging. We sincerely thank all the authors for their valuable contributions covering various aspects of identification of continuous time systems.
