Automatic Control

7.5 credits

All treated dynamical systems are time continuous and time invariant. With a few exceptions, they are all linear.

Introduction to automatic control: history, examples of control system and basic concepts of automatic control.
Modeling of dynamical system using time invariant ordinary differential equations. Linearization, state-space model, weighting function, Laplace transform, transfer function, Nyquist- and Bode diagram.
Analysis of dynamic system. Concepts of stability. Analysis of stability using Root locus, Routh-Hurwitz criterion, the
principle of the argument and the Nyquist criterion. Gain margin and phase margin.
Synthesis of control systems. Specifications, pole-placement,
lead-lag compensation, PID-controller, feed forward, cascade compensation, robustness, sensitivity for disturbances and changes in parameters.

Växjö – the student city with a living campus

Just south of Växjö’s city centre you will find Linnaeus University’s campus. In Växjö, many students choose to live on campus.

Here you will have five minutes’ walking distance to friends, restaurants, lecture rooms, gym, grocery store, the University Library, nature trails, and student pubs. If you live in another part of Växjö, you can quickly get to the university by bus or bicycle.

With its 90 000 inhabitants, Växjö is one of the fastest growing cities in Sweden. Here you will find the famous Småland entrepreneurship spirit and a lot of companies, for instance within the IT industry – perfect for when you are looking for an internship position or a job. Växjö is also a picturesque city where you are always close to forests and water.
