Digital controllers are part of nearly all modern personal, industrial, and transportation systems. Every senior or graduate student of electrical, chemical, or mechanical engineering should therefore be familiar with the basic theory of digital controllers. Fadali and Visioli covers the fundamental principles and applications of digital control engineering, with emphasis on engineering design. The book provides analysis and design of digitally controlled systems and describes applications of digital control in a wide range of fields. With worked examples and MATLAB applications in every chapter and many end-of-chapter assignments, this text provides both theory and practice for those coming to digital control engineering for the first time, whether as a student or practicing engineer.
• Covers such newer topics as Model Predictive Control and Linear Matrix Inequalities
• To engage students the mathematical notation is reduced where possible, while including intermediate mathematical steps in derivations
• MATLAB and Simulink sections at the end of each chapter show how to
• implement concepts from the chapter
• Includes enough advanced material to make it suitable for an introductory graduate level class or for two quarters at the senior/graduate level
• Online teaching ancillaries for instructors include PowerPoint lecture, slides, solutions to end of chapter problems, and an image bank
