 | The book emphasizes the practical aspects in designing feedback control systems in which the plant may be nonminimum-phase, unstable and also highly uncertain. Early anticipation and correct interpretation of these effects can considerably shorten the design process. The plant
uncertainty property is closely related to what is today called 'robustness'. A major task in automatic control is to design well-behaved feedback controlled systems which remain 'robust' and satisfy formally defined quantitative performances for the entire uncertainty region of the plant. 'Classical' and 'modern' design approaches for uncertain plants are explained side-by-side and used to solve similar design examples. This allows the reader to compare results obtained by both
approaches. |
