    Automatic Control II - Sensitivity Robustness and Optimality

    Uploaded by

    عبدالحميد أبوشينة
    This document discusses sensitivity, robustness, and optimality in automatic control systems. It defines sensitivity as the ratio of percentage changes in the system transfer function and process transfer function due to parameter variations. Well-designed closed-loop feedback systems can reduce a system's sensitivity. A robust control system maintains acceptable performance despite plant uncertainty or parameter changes. Optimal control aims to minimize performance indices that measure factors like error over time.

    Sensitivity of Control Systems to Parameter Variations

    A process, represented by G(s), whatever its nature, is subject to a changing 


    environment, aging, ignorance of the exact values of the process parameters,
    and the natural factors that affect a control process.
    The sensitivity of a control system to parameter variations is very important. A 
    main advantage of a closed-loop feedback system is its ability to reduce the
    system’s sensitivity.
    The system sensitivity is defined as the ratio of the percentage change in the 
    system transfer function to the percentage change of the process transfer
    function.

    Robust Control System
     A robust control system exhibits the desired performance
    despite the presence of significant plant (process) uncertainty.

    The goal of robust design is to retain assurance of system
    performance in spite of model inaccuracies and changes. A system
    is robust when it has acceptable changes in performance due to
    model changes or inaccuracies.
    A control system is robust when:
     1-it has low sensitivities,
     2- it is stable over the range of parameter variations, and
     3- the performance continues to meet the specifications in the
    presence of a set of changes in the system parameters.
    Example: An elevator control system is robust if it can maintain its
    performance despite the number of persons.
    Performance Indices

     The Upper limit T is a finite time chosen somewhat arbitrary so that the integral approaches a
    steady state value. It is convenient to choose T as settling time.
     Optimal Control Systems: are the systems adjusted to provide minimum
    performance index.
