ACIT4810 Advanced Methods in Modelling, Simulation, and Control Emneplan

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

1. The students must participate in 75% of project meetings
2. Meet all deadlines for submission of all project parts (during the semester)
3. The project parts should be approved

Students who fail to meet the coursework requirements can be given up to one re-submission opportunity before the exam.

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

Type of assessment:

1) Individual written exam (three hours), weighted 50 %

2) Project report in groups of 2-3 students (approx. 40-50 pages, excl. appendices), weighted 50 %

All assessment parts must be awarded a pass grade (E or better) in order for the student to pass the course. Students must be awarded an E or better on their project report to be allowed to take the written exam.

Assessment parts: 1) and 2) may be appealed.

Assessment part:

1) All printed and written aids and a calculator that cannot be used to communicate with others.

2) All aids are permitted.

• Systematic approach to dynamic modeling
• Linearization of nonlinear models
• Data driven dynamic modelling (system identification)
• State estimation
• Model-based PID-tuning methods
• Multivariable control methods
• Predictive control algorithms
• Implementation, testing and validation with numerical simulation.

A grade scale with grades from A to E for pass (with A being the highest grade and E being the lowest pass grade) and F for fail is used in connection with the final assessment.

1) and 2): one internal examiner.

External examiners are used regularly.

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

Grade scale A-F.

Two internal examiners. External examiner is used periodically.
