| 1 | The written exam stands for a midterm. The students will be evaluated on some points that had been seen during the lectures and tutorials. The exact contents will be defined according to the progress on lectures and tutorials | 0,2 | Written exam |
| 2 | • First practical session (Use of Matlab/Simulink, 4 hours) : Discretization of systems using Matlab/Simulink : Initialisation with tf, zpk, c2d, pzmap,pole…,use of Simulink : closed-loop system , discretisation using different methods : ZOH, FOH, Tustin….Stability of Discrete LTI systems • Second practical session (Mainly Practical, 4 hours): Digital control of an aerotherm system (Automation + Electronic parts) * Understand the system setup (Electronics/automation parts : Identify the system input, output) and be able to write a code and plot the reference signal (desired temperature in our case), the error and the control input on the same figure using the serialplot. * Identification of the system : It is a delayed system (first order system subject to a constant delay) * Discretization of the system * Main Objective is to compare the performances of the aerotherm system when it is controlled by : * A proportional digital controller * a proportional-Integral digital controller * And a Digital PID controller * The advantages of each digital controller * The disadvantages of increasing/decreasing the proportial, derivative or integral actions (The results should be proved using Simulink as well as using the real practical system) * Compare the theoretic results (implementation of digital controllers using the Simulink block diagram) to the results issued from the practical setup. | 0,3 | Practical work |
