Abstract

Basic signal processing techniques (Fourier transformation, FIR/IIR filtering, wavelet transformation, data compression, etc.)Generic modeling approaches for control-oriented models based on first principles and on experimental data.Model scaling, linearization, order reduction, and balancing.Planning of experiments, nonlinear estimation techniques for "gray-box" models.

Objective

Introduction to systems modeling for control. Analysis and optimization of linear and nonlinear systems. Parameter identifikation. Case studies.

Content

Introduction to generic system modeling approaches for control-oriented models based on first principles and on experimental data. Examples: mechatronic, energy, and process engineering systems. Model scaling, linearization, order reduction, and balancing. Planning of experiments, estimation techniques for "gray-box" models (linear and nonlinear least-squares methods). The exercises are solved in teams. One larger case study is to be solved.
