"This text provides a foundation in applied control to help bridge
the gap between control theory and its real-world applications.
Working from basic principles, the bookdelves into control systems
design through the practical examples of the ALSTOM gasifier system
in power stations and underwater robotic vehicles in the marine
industry. It also shows how software such as MATLAB and Simulink
can aid in control systems design. Emphasizing key aspects of the
design process, the book covers thedynamic modeling, control
structure design, controller design, implementation, and testing of
control systems. The book begins with the essential ideas of
applied control engineering and an introduction to MATLAB and
Simulink. The book then discusses the analysis, model order
reduction, and controller design for a power plant and the
modeling, simulation, and control of a remotely operated vehicle
(ROV) for pipeline tracking. The book then explains how to obtain
the ROV model and verify the model by using computational fluid
dynamics software before designing and implementing the control
system. In addition, it details the nonlinear subsystem modeling
and linearization of the ROV at vertical plane equilibrium points.
This book will be of interest to individuals who want a better
understanding of the theory and practice of basic control systems
design, analysis, and implementation."
—IEEE Control Systems Magazine, June 2014"The unique feature of
this book is its practical application of remotely operated
vehicles and the ALSTOM gasifier, which gives insight into the
mathematical procedures of MATLAB and Simulink as powerful
simulation tools. ... This excellent book can be used as reference
text for undergraduate or postgraduate students. ... it bridges the
gap between academic theory and industrial applications. The
examples are concise and yet easy to understand."
—Dr. Ivan CK Tam, Newcastle University, Singapore"This book shows
good practical examples on the coding used for control systems
design, analysis, and implementations using MATLAB and
Simulink."
—Rongxin Cui, Northwestern Polytechnical University, China"This
book, by providing examples in important applications for
simulation-based experimentation and simulation-based experience in
applied control engineering, is a valuable addition to the
literature. It reflects where our knowledge is firm enough to
provide mathematical description of systems as well as design,
simulation, analysis and implementation of control systems. Areas
where the knowledge is yet shallow are targeted for future studies.
This book provides a fertile delineation of areas needing
attention. It is written for those who may be already familiar with
or newly exposed to the concepts associated with applied control
engineering. It will be most useful for researchers, engineers,
faculty, and students."
—From the Foreword by Dr. Tuncer Ören, University of Ottawa, Canada
