Learning outcome

  • Describe discrete and continuous dynamic systems by transfer-functions and state-space-models
  • Transform a dynamic system from one form to another
  • Use state-space models for control purposes
  • Do state and parameter estimation using state observers, Kalman filtering and RLS
  • Do fault diagnosis using model-based approaches

Course assessment

There must be an early dialogue between the course supervisor, the student union representative and the students. The purpose is feedback from the students for changes and adjustments in the course for the current semester.In addition, a digital subject evaluation must be carried out at least every three years. Its purpose is to gather the students experiences with the course.
