This book presents the proceedings of the Third International Conference on Electrical Engineering and Control (ICEECA2017). It covers new control system models and troubleshooting tips, and also addresses complex system requirements, such as increased speed, precision and remote capabilities, bridging the gap between the complex, math-heavy controls theory taught in formal courses, and the efficient implementation required in real-world industry settings. Further, it considers both the engineering aspects of signal processing and the practical issues in the broad field of information transmission and novel technologies for communication networks and modern antenna design. This book is intended for researchers, engineers, and advanced postgraduate students in control and electrical engineering, computer science, signal processing, as well as mechanical and chemical engineering.

Advanced Control Engineering provides a complete course in control engineering for undergraduates of all technical disciplines. Included are real-life case studies, numerous problems, and accompanying MatLab programs.

Stressing the importance of simulation and performance evaluation for effective design, this new text looks at the techniques engineers use to design control systems that work. It covers qualitative behavior and stability theory; graphical methods for nonlinear stability; saturating and discontinuous control; discrete-time systems; adaptive control; and more. For electrical engineers working in modern control system design.

Introduction to state-space methods covers feedback control; state-space representation of dynamic systems and dynamics of linear systems; frequency-domain analysis; controllability and observability; shaping the dynamic response; more. 1986 edition.

Designed as a textbook for undergraduate students pursuing courses in Electrical Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Instrumentation and Control Engineering, and Electronics and Communication Engineering, this book explains the fundamental concepts and design principles of advanced control systems in an understandable manner. The book deals with the various types of state space modelling, characteristic equations, eigenvalues and eigenvectors including the design of the linear systems applying the pole placement technique. It provides step-by-step solutions to state equations and discusses the stability analysis and design of nonlinear control systems applying the phase plane technique, Routh’s criteria, Bode plot, Nyquist plot, Lyapunov’s and function methods. Furthermore, it also introduces the sampled-data control systems explaining the z-transforms and inverse z-transforms. The text is supported with a large number of illustrative examples and review questions to reinforce the student’s understanding of the concepts.

This book gathers papers presented during the 4th International Conference on Electrical Engineering and Control Applications. It covers new control system models, troubleshooting tips and complex system requirements, such as increased speed, precision and remote capabilities. Additionally, the papers discuss not only the engineering aspects of signal processing and various practical issues in the broad field of information transmission, but also novel technologies for communication networks and modern antenna design. This book is intended for researchers, engineers and advanced postgraduate students in the fields of control and electrical engineering, computer science and signal processing, as well as mechanical and chemical engineering.
