EE342 Fall 2006 Final Exam: V (T) y (T) + + + e (T) U (T)

This exam considers feedback control systems. Problem 1 asks to design a PI controller to stabilize a plant with specified pole locations. Problem 2 asks to design a controller to stabilize a plant with a phase margin of 30 degrees. Problem 3 asks to design a proportional controller to minimize steady state error for a plant with time delay, and sketch the Nyquist plot. Problem 4 considers a state space plant and asks to find its poles, design state feedback to place closed loop poles, and vary a feedback gain to minimize the real parts of closed loop poles.

Problem 1. (20 points) Let the plant be given as


1
Gp (s) = .
s(s + 5)

Design a Proportional plus Integral (PI) controller of the form

KI
Gc (s) = KP +
s
such that the closed
√ loop system is stable with one pole at r1 = −4 and the other two poles are at
r2,3 = −ζωo ± jωo 1 − ζ 2 with ωo ≥ 2, ζ > 0, and ζ is as large as possible.
Problem 2. (20 points) In the standard feedback control system the plant is given as
2
Gp (s) =
s2
and the controller is restricted to be in the form
1 + (s/ω1 )
Gc (s) = .
1 + (s/ω2 )

Design Gc (s) such that feedback system is stable with phase margin equal to 30o .
Problem 3. Given a plant Gp (s) = e−hs /(s − 1).
(a) (15 points) Let h = 0. Design a proportional controller Gc (s) = K such that the feedback system
is stable with a delay margin greater or equal to 0.5 seconds, and |ess | is as small as possible, where ess
is the steady state error for a unit step reference input.
(b) (15 points) Sketch the Nyquist plot for Gp (s)Gc (s) = 2e−0.5s /(s − 1). What are GM and PM?
Hint. In this problem you may want to use the graph of tan−1 (x) versus x given below.

y(t) = x(t) where A = 0 1 1 B = 0.

(a) (5 points) What are the poles of this plant? Is the plant stable?
(b) (10 points) Find, if possible, a state feedback controller u(t) = v(t) − [k3 k2 k1 ]x(t)
such that the closed loop system is stable with poles at −1, −1 ± j1.
(c) (15 points) Now let k1 = 4, k2 = 6, and draw the location of the closed loop system poles as k3
varies from 0 to +∞. What is the value of k3 which minimizes the maximum of the real parts of the
closed loop system poles?
