ENG60J – Control System Design, Simulation And Evaluation Assignment

Assignment Task

Module outcomes assessed

1. Design and/or modify, using computer aided techniques, a control system to a specified performance using the state space approach.

2. Control system design and evaluation, engineering professional codes of conduct and ethical conduct in control engineering, control system reliability, operation risks, environmental and commercial risks, health and safety.

Assignment Tasks Details During the refurbishment of a petrochemical plant, it is required to re-tune and redesign the controllers of problematic parts of the plant. It has been verified that the dynamic process to be controlled mainly consists of a plant dynamic and an actuator dynamic as shown in Figure 1 below.

where, y(t) is the measured plant output and x(t) is the actuator output.

In this assessment, as an engineer/consultant in a consultancy company you have been requested by a project manager to write a proposal on the control system design. In the proposal, you will review different control system design methods suitable for the task, use a control system design method to design control laws for the process, and present your analysis and evaluations of the proposed designs. This must be written as a technical manner to the project manager (who has an engineering background).

Candidates will use library facilities, IT facilities and facilities in industries to conduct research on different control system design approaches and carry out control system design. The short technical report (about 2000 words, excluding appendix text) on your proposal will comprise of:

  • Introduction to your report;
  • Review on different control design methods and different control systems, including engineering professional codes of conduct and ethical conduct in control engineering, control system reliability, operation risks, environmental and commercial risks, health and safety;
  • Control law design (to achieve the controlled system with the rise-time less than 2.0 sec, zero steady state error, and the settling time less than 4.0 sec), simulation, and evaluation;
  • Propose a computer control system implementation;
  • Discussion and conclusion of your proposal.
