What we have learnt
- Control strategies are essential for achieving desired performance in dynamic systems.
- Each control strategy has distinct applications and is suited for specific scenarios.
- Understanding the optimal control strategy for a given engineering problem is critical to system performance.
Key Concepts
- -- PID Control
- A control strategy using proportional, integral, and derivative actions to adjust the output based on current, past, and future errors.
- -- Model Predictive Control (MPC)
- An advanced control technique that uses a model of the system to predict future states and optimize control inputs based on constraints.
- -- Optimal Control
- A control approach seeking to minimize or maximize a predefined objective function, applicable in long-term scenarios.
- -- Fuzzy Logic Control
- A control method that handles uncertainty in system modeling using fuzzy sets and linguistic variables.
- -- Adaptive Control
- A strategy that allows controllers to adjust their parameters in real-time to adapt to uncertain or varying system dynamics.
- -- StateSpace Control
- A representation that uses state variables to model multi-input multi-output systems, facilitating comprehensive analysis and design.
