Control Engineering (SEMM 3233)

Project (10%)
Deadline: June 20, 2021 (before 5pm)

GUIDELINES

 Form a group that consists of 5-6 members.

 MATLAB coding are required (refer to the video as a reference, but you are
expected to do more and better than that)
 Add additional information whenever necessary to make the users to be more
comprehensive when using the coding. Creativity is considered as part of the
evaluation criterion.
 Please take note that it is ESSENTIAL to make the MATLAB coding to be
“generalised” and “flexible”. For example, if the parameter values are changed,
the responses could be recalculated accordingly.
 Submission: 20th June 2021 (Sunday). Send your report and MATLAB coding
(.m format) to e-learning. Label your submission as: Group Project (Leader
Name - Section) - Question X.

QUESTIONS:

Objective: To analyse a system with given transfer function with respect to

performance of the system response and suggest the controller that is suitable to
improve/increase the system performances. (apply step input to the system)

By using MATLAB, write the M-code to represent the following transfer function.
You have to generate the system response and discuss briefly on its performances.

Determine values for system’s:

 Damping ratio , damped frequency d and natural frequency n
 Settling time, ts for an error tolerance of 2%
 Maximum overshoot, Mp
 Time for first peak occur, t1

Show your calculation and clearly depict from the figure.

Next, find out the effect of introducing controller (P-controller, PI-controller, PD-
controller and PID-controller) to the system in order to improve its performances.
Generate the system response for every controller applied.

You may use the value for controller gain as given below:

 P-controller > Kp=300,

 PI-controller> Kp=30 Ki=70,
 PD-controller> Kp=300 Kd=10,
 PID-controller> Kp=500 Ki=600 Kd=50.

After that, change all the above values for controller gains to see the effect on the
system response. Discuss.
