STATE SPACE ANALYSIS OF CONTINUOUS SYSTEMS

The state space model of Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) system can be represented as,
X˙=AX+BU

Y=CX+DU

The first and the second equations are known as state equation and output equation respectively.
Where,
 X and X˙ are the state vector and the differential state vector respectively.
 U and Y are input vector and output vector respectively.
 A is the system matrix.
 B and C are the input and the output matrices.
 D is the feed-forward matrix.
Basic Concepts of State Space Model
The following basic terminology involved in this chapter.
State
It is a group of variables, which summarizes the history of the system in order to predict the
future values (outputs).
State Variable
The number of the state variables required is equal to the number of the storage elements
present in the system.
Examples − current flowing through inductor, voltage across capacitor
State Vector
It is a vector, which contains the state variables as elements.
In the earlier chapters, we have discussed two mathematical models of the control systems.
Those are the differential equation model and the transfer function model. The state space
model can be obtained from any one of these two mathematical models. Let us now discuss
these two methods one by one.
State Space Model from Differential Equation
Consider the following series of the RLC circuit. It is having an input voltage, vi(t) and the
current flowing through the circuit is i(t).

There are two storage elements (inductor and capacitor) in this circuit. So, the number of
the state variables is equal to two and these state variables are the current flowing through
the inductor, i(t) and the voltage across capacitor, vc(t).
From the circuit, the output voltage, v0(t) is equal to the voltage across capacitor, vc(t).

State Space Model from Transfer Function
Consider the two types of transfer functions based on the type of terms present in the
numerator.

 Transfer function having constant term in Numerator.


 Transfer function having polynomial function of‘s’ in Numerator.
Transfer function having constant term in Numerator
Consider the following transfer function of a system

Then,

Here, D=[0].

Transfer Function from State Space Model
We know the state space model of a Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) system is -
X˙=AX+BU

Y=CX+DU

Apply Laplace Transform on both sides of the state equation.


sX(s) =AX(s)+BU(s)

⇒ (sI−A)X(s)=BU(s)

⇒ X(s) = (sI−A)−1BU(s)

Apply Laplace Transform on both sides of the output equation.


Y(s) =CX(s) + DU(s)

Substitute, X(s) value in the above equation.


⇒Y(s) =C ( sI−A)−1BU(s)+DU(s)

⇒Y(s) = [C (sI−A)−1B+D]U(s)

⇒Y(s) U(s) = C(sI−A)−1 B+D

The above equation represents the transfer function of the system. So, we can calculate the
transfer function of the system by using this formula for the system represented in the state
space model.

Note − When D=[0], the transfer function will be

Example:

Let us calculate the transfer function of the system represented in the state space model as,

Therefore, the transfer function of the system for the given state space model is

State Transition Matrix and its Properties


If the system is having initial conditions, then it will produce an output. Since, this output is
present even in the absence of input, it is called zero input response xZIR(t). Mathematically,
we can write it as,

Page 127 of 130


From the above relation, we can write the state transition matrix ϕ(t) as

So, the zero input response can be obtained by multiplying the state transition
matrix ϕ(t) with the initial conditions matrix.
Properties of the state transition matrix
 If t=0, then state transition matrix will be equal to an Identity matrix.

ϕ(0)=I
 Inverse of state transition matrix will be same as that of state transition matrix just by
replacing‘t’ by ‘-t’.

 If t=t1+t2 , then the corresponding state transition matrix is equal to the


multiplication of the two state transition matrices at t=t1t=t1 and t=t2t=t2.

ϕ(t1+t2)=ϕ(t1)ϕ(t2)

Controllability and Observability


Let us now discuss controllability and observability of control system one by one.
Controllability
A control system is said to be controllable if the initial states of the control system are
transferred (changed) to some other desired states by a controlled input in finite duration of
time.

We can check the controllability of a control system by using Kalman’s test.

 Write the matrix Qc in the following form.

 Find the determinant of matrix QcQc and if it is not equal to zero, then the control
system is controllable.

Page 128 of 130


Observability
A control system is said to be observable if it is able to determine the initial states of the
control system by observing the outputs in finite duration of time.

We can check the observability of a control system by using Kalman’s test.

 Write the matrix Qo in following form.

 Find the determinant of matrix QoQo and if it is not equal to zero, then the control
system is observable.
Example:

Let us verify the controllability and observability of a control system which is represented in
the state space model as,

Since the determinant of matrix Qc is not equal to zero, the given control system is
controllable.
For n=2, the matrix Qo will be –

Page 129 of 130


Since, the determinant of matrix Qo is not equal to zero, the given control system is
observable. Therefore, the given control system is both controllable and observable.
