Industrial Control Systems Design

Bridging the gap between research and industry, this volumesystematically and comprehensively presents the latest advances incontrol and estimation. With emphasis on applications, industrialproblems illustrate the use of transfer function and state spacemethods for modelling and design. Combining theroy with practice, Industrial Control Systems Designwill appeal to practising engineers and academic researchers incontrol engineering. This unique reference: * spans fundamental state space and polynomial systems theory andintroduces quantitative feedback theory. * Includes design case studies with illustrative problemdescriptions and analysis from the steel, marine, process control,aerospace and power generation sectors. * Focuses on the challenges in predictive optimal control, now anindispensable method in advanced control applications. * Provides an introduction to safety-critical control systemsdesign and combined fault monitoring and control techniques. * Discusses the design of LQG and H-controllers with severaldegrees of freedom, including feedback, tracking and feedforwardfunctions.
