Learning Outcomes
The course provides the students an understanding of the essentials of control with practical instructions to the basic fundamental concepts of feedback theory. The course will help the students to gain a basic understanding of system behavior, control system components and implementation. The course will also demonstrate the use of sensors in different control system application. After completing the course, the student will be able to describe and analyze dynamic control systems and feedback controls mathematically and understand how to use computer simulation programs to analyze and solve control problems. He/She can describe the main principles and features of basic control algorithms, and he/she can select sensors for control applications. The student is able to tell about the importance of control technology to the local energy industry, and he/she can design and implement a dynamic control system.
Student's Workload
135 h, which contains 50 h of scheduled contact studies.
The assessment of student’s own learning 1 h is included in contact lessons.
Prerequisites / Recommended Optional Courses
