Introduction

Upon successful completion of the course, the student:

Knowledge

Upon successful completion of the course, the student should have:

  • advanced knowledge in dynamic modeling for industrial applications
  • knowledge on how to evaluate suitability of different model structures and choose appropriate model for chosen industrial application
  • knowledge in state estimation techniques for linear systems
  • advanced knowledge in control strategy development
  • knowledge on how to evaluate different model-based control algorithms for multivariate systems
  • knowledge on how to select and argue for suitable combination of model-based control algorithms for a chosen industrial application.

Skills

Upon successful completion of the course, the student can:

  • apply systematic approach to develop nonlinear and linear dynamic models for chosen industrial application.
  • apply data-driven modelling methods to obtain dynamic models for a chosen industrial application.
  • implement, test, compare and validate nonlinear and linear dynamic models in simulation environment.
  • implement, test and validate linear techniques for state estimation in simulation environment
  • implement, test, compare and validate model-based control algorithms for multivariate systems in simulation environment.

General competence

Upon successful completion of the course, the student can:

  • develop, implement, test and validate control strategies for multivariate system using different model-based control and estimation methods.

Recommended preliminary courses

The course does not require previous experience with programming, but participants should have an interest for data and programming. Using your own laptop and having administrative rights to this laptop is necessary.

Required preliminary courses

Weekly lectures and exercises, assignments in groups of 2-3 students and one individual semester project.

Two guest lectures on selected topics given by experts from industry and academia.

Learning outcomes

The following coursework must be approved before the student can take the exam:

Four assignments in groups of 1-3 students (1000 - 2000 words per assignment)

Teaching and learning methods

The assessment will be based on two part-exams:

1) Individual project report (4000-6000 words). The project report counts 80% of the final grade.

2) Individual project presentation (10 minutes). The oral examination counts 20% of the final grade

Both exams must be passed in order to pass the course.

The oral examination cannot be appealed.

New/postponed exam

In case of failed exam or legal absence, the student may apply for a new or postponed exam. New or postponed exams are offered within a reasonable time span following the regular exam. The student is responsible for registering for a new/postponed exam within the time limits set by OsloMet. The Regulations for new or postponed examinations are available in Regulations relating to studies and examinations at OsloMet.

Course requirements

All aids (a computer with MATLAB and Simulink included) are permitted, provided the rules for plagiarism and source referencing are complied with.

Assessment

Grade scale A-F.

Permitted exam materials and equipment

Two internal examiners. External examiner is used periodically.

Grading scale

Professor Tiina Komulainen

Examiners

Basic course in control theory, linear systems and system dynamics. Basic understanding of matrix algebra, statistics, and programming using MATLAB or similar.
