Course content

Analysis of linear dynamic systems: Stability, controllability, observability. Stability of nonlinear systems using Lyapunov theory and summary of nonlinear control design methods. State estimation for linear and nonlinear systems: Kalman Filter, Extended Kalman Filter, Particle Filter, Moving Horizon Estimation. Advanced model predictive control: linear and nonlinear model predictive control, robust model predictive control, learning-based model predictive control. Efficient implementation of model predictive control.

Acquired competences

The course provides indepth knowledge of state of the art techniques for advanced process control and prepares for further scientific work in this area and for industrial jobs in process control and operation depart- ments or companies. The students understand the methods listed above and are able to choose the appropriate methods for the solution of practical problems, to synthesize solutions and to critically evaluate the results.
