Robust Industrial Control Systems

Robust Industrial Control Systems: Optimal Design Approach forPolynomial Systems presents a comprehensive introduction to theuse of frequency domain and polynomial system design techniques fora range of industrial control and signal processing applications.The solution of stochastic and robust optimal control problems isconsidered, building up from single-input problems and graduallydeveloping the results for multivariable design of the laterchapters. In addition to cataloguing many of the results inpolynomial systems needed to calculate industrial controllers andfilters, basic design procedures are also introduced which enablecost functions and system descriptions to be specified in order tosatisfy industrial requirements. Providing a range of solutions to control and signal processingproblems, this book: * Presents a comprehensive introduction to the polynomial systemsapproach for the solution of H_2 and H_infinity optimal controlproblems. * Develops robust control design procedures using frequency domainmethods. * Demonstrates design examples for gas turbines, marine systems,metal processing, flight control, wind turbines, process controland manufacturing systems. * Includes the analysis of multi-degrees of freedom controllers andthe computation of restricted structure controllers that are simpleto implement. * Considers time-varying control and signal processingproblems. * Addresses the control of non-linear processes using both multiplemodel concepts and new optimal control solutions. Robust Industrial Control Systems: Optimal Design Approach forPolynomial Systems is essential reading for professional engineersrequiring an introduction to optimal control theory and insightsinto its use in the design of real industrial processes. Studentsand researchers in the field will also find it an excellentreference tool.
