Course content

The course which is taught in English cover specification of controller design tasks, design using frequency response approximation, performance limi-tations in SISO control loops. I/O-system description of multivariable systems, poles, zeros, zero directions, stability criteria. Classical design techniques such as decoupling, sequential loop closure, approximate decoupling, multivariable frequency response approximation, robustness are shown as well as the control structure selection: Static and dynamic controllability analysis, plant directionality, relative gain array, computation of the attainable performance.

Acquired competences

The students can design multivariable controllers for chemical and biochemical processes based on input-output descriptions. They are aware of the limitations of controller performance in the scalar and in the multivariable case and of the influence of plant-model mismatch on stability and controller performance. They can apply modern tools to the selection of control structures.
