Lecturer: Sayyed Mahmoud Reza Pishvaie

Status (in the study program): Compulsory course in graduate study, for Simulation & Control Group

Aims/Scope/Objectives: The students are acquainted with engineering judgment, analysis and design of modern (& optimal) control systems in chemical processes. The basic aim is to familiarize student with key components and behavior of dynamical systems with an emphasis on MIMO systems. In the early sections of the lectures (named Advanced Control Methods), students are brought the improvement schemes of  the closed loop behavior such as time-delay compensation, cascaded loops and the likes. The two remaining parts, named Modern and Optimal Control Methods, discuss about time-domain (state-space) analysis and design of  processes.
