 Speed Control System.
The basic principle of a Watt's speed governor for an engine is illustrated

The amount of fuel admitted to the engine is adjusted according to the difference
between the desired and the actual engine speeds. The speed governor is
adjusted such that, at the desired speed, no pressured oil will flow into either side
of the power cylinder.

 Speed Control System (Cont.)
If the actual speed drops below the desired value due to
disturbance, then the decrease in the centrifugal force of the speed
governor causes the control valve to move downward, supplying more
fuel, and the speed of the engine increases until the desired value is
reached. On the other hand, if the speed of the engine increases above
the desired value, then the increase in the centrifugal force of the
governor causes the control valve to move upward. This decreases the
supply of fuel, and the speed of the engine decreases until the desired
value is reached.

Technical Terminology
Physical System
A physical system is a component (device) or a collection
of components (devices) in the natural world, acting
together to perform a specific desired performance
(objective).
‐ Dynamically systems: in which, although the Inputs are
constant, the outputs change with significant rate.

‐ Statically system: in which, the outputs remain


constant and changes only when the inputs
change.
A Control System
Is a system which provides a desired performance (system
response) according to a wanted objective called the system
input

The performance of the closed‐loop control system can be divided to:


Servo
The main purpose is to maintain the controlled variable follow in
some way the reference input.
Regulator
Whose running function is to maintain the controlled variable
essentially constant at a given level.
3- Linear and non-linear control system:
If the differential equation describing the system
has coefficients that are either functions only of the
independent variable or constants, the system is said
to linear. Also, a mathematical model of a system is
said to be linear, if it obeys both the principle of
superposition (if x1 leads to y1 and x2 leads to y2,
then the effect of x1+ x2 should leads to y1+ y2) and
homogeneity (if the input x is multiplied by a
constant, B, then the output should be a multiple of
B as well).
The general Rules of the Automatic Control System

1) The controlled variable must be applicable to


control

2) The output must be measured

3) The actual output value must be compared with


the desired value to extract the actuating signal

4) The controller must be designed for required


performance
The Methods of Studying the Control Systems
There are two methods to study and design the
control system:

1- Empirical Method

2- Analytical Method
Physical Modeling
Mathematically Modeling
Analysis
A‐ Quantitative Analysis
B‐ Qualitative Analysis
Design
