Concepts of linear Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) systems, state-space representation of process systems, linear spaces and linear operators, controllability and observability analysis, Lyapunov stability analysis, stability of interconnected systems, linear optimal control, frequency-domain analysis and controller synthesis for MIMO process systems. Introduction to model predictive control, system identification, robus control, decentralised control.
In addition, there will be a project component on an individual study basis. The individual study project is to be chosen in the areas identified by codes A-Artificial Intelligency, F-Computer Modelling and Design and Q-Process Control advanced (see School for details).
