About
Multivariable control system also known as MIMO (Multi-Input and Multi-Output) system, is one of the most important branches of control engineering. Due to its applications in various industries, has been attractive for researchers in recent decades, and hundreds of articles and dozens of books have been published about analysis and design controllers for them. for instance, we can name the following industries: Power Plants, Chemical Industries, Food Industries, Automobile Manufacturing, Aerospace Systems, robotics, etc.
The main problem in multivariable systems is the problem of “Interaction”, which decreases the performance of the systems and in some cases causes the Instability of the closed loop. In MIMO systems, changing the control parameter of one loop can affect the behavior of several other variables in other control loops.
In this course, we will first introduce how to analyze Multivariable control systems, then we will start to design the controller. The existing methods for analyzing and designing MIMO control systems are generalizations of the methods used in Linear control and Modern control systems.
Prerequisite: Linear Control, Modern Control, MATLAB and Simulink
