|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 227-0680-00L | Building Control and Automation  | 3 KP | 2V + 2U | F. Bünning, J. Warrington, A. Bollinger, C. Gähler, R. Smith | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | Introduction to basic concepts from automatic control theory and their application to the control and automation of buildings. | ||||
| Lernziel | Introduce students to fundamental concepts from control theory: State space models, feedback. Demonstrate the application of these concepts to building control for energy efficiency and other objectives. | ||||
| Inhalt | Introduction to modeling State space models and differential equations Laplace transforms and basic feedback control Discrete time systems Model predictive control for building climate regulation Regulating building energy consumption and energy hub concepts Building automation | ||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | Exposure to ordinary differential equations and Laplace trasforms. | ||||
| 227-0690-10L | Advanced Topics in Control (Spring 2019) New topics are introduced every year. | 4 KP | 2V + 2U | J. Warrington, A. Eichler | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | Advanced Topics in Control (ATIC) covers advanced research topics in control theory and is jointly organised by Profs Dörfler, Lygeros, and Smith at the Automatic Control Lab in D-ITET. It is offered each Spring semester with the topic rotating from year to year. Repetition for credit is possible, with consent of the instructor. | ||||
| Lernziel | During Spring 2019 the course will be taught by Dr Joe Warrington and Dr Annika Eichler, and will cover a range of topics in robust control and convex optimization. The course content and style is distinct from Control Systems II (CSII), which also includes some robust control, in that it is geared towards the most recent research in the field, has a substantial optimization theory component, and is partly assessed via a written report that offers an excellent opportunity to develop scientific writing skills. In contrast, CSII offers a greater focus on engineering practice and is assessed by exam. | ||||
| Inhalt | An optimization based approach to robust control theory and applications. Topics will include: H-infinity and H-2 control design; structured-singular value analysis and synthesis; model reduction; convex optimization; semi-definite programming; and interior-point methods. | ||||
| Skript | Copies of the projection slides are available for downloading via the course website. | ||||
| Literatur | Relevant material will be made available on the course website, https://people.ee.ethz.ch/~ifaatic/ | ||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | Control systems (227-0216-00L), Linear system theory (227-0225-00L), or equivalents, as well as sufficient mathematical maturity. | ||||
