MSE Master of Science in Engineering

The Swiss engineering master's degree

Ogni modulo equivale a 3 crediti ECTS. È possibile scegliere un totale di 10 moduli/30 ECTS nelle seguenti categorie: 

  • 12-15 crediti ECTS in moduli tecnico-scientifici (TSM)
    I moduli TSM trasmettono competenze tecniche specifiche del profilo e si integrano ai moduli di approfondimento decentralizzati.
  • 9-12 crediti ECTS in basi teoriche ampliate (FTP)
    I moduli FTP trattano principalmente basi teoriche come la matematica, la fisica, la teoria dell’informazione, la chimica ecc. I moduli ampliano la competenza scientifica dello studente e contribuiscono a creare un importante sinergia tra i concetti astratti e l’applicazione fondamentale per l’innovazione 
  • 6-9 crediti ECTS in moduli di contesto (CM)
    I moduli CM trasmettono competenze supplementari in settori quali gestione delle tecnologie, economia aziendale, comunicazione, gestione dei progetti, diritto dei brevetti, diritto contrattuale ecc.

Advanced Control (TSM_AdvContr)

Model-based controller design is a key technology to control systems with complex dynamics. It was the enabling technology for many innovations in the last decade. In this module, the key elements of the development process are addressed: system identification, LQR/LQG-Controller design and controller implementation. Since there is always model uncertainty, the course ends with an introduction to robust controller design using H-Infinity.

Requisiti

  •  Differential equations, Transfer functions
  •  PID-controller design and implementation incl. anti-windup strategies
  •  control system structures: feed-forward, cascaded control
  •  Analysis of feedback control systems (stability, phase/gain margin, performance in time and frequency domain)
  •  State space models
  •  Loop shaping controller design
  •  Linear algebra (Eigenvalue  Decomposition)
  • It is necessary, that the student has successfully completed 2 semester courses in feedback control

Obiettivi di apprendimento

The student is able to

  • completely design a model-based, robust feedback control law, including modelling, parameter estimation, system analysis, controller design and controller implementation
  • design a robust H-Infinity optimal controller.

Contenuti del modulo

  • LQR/LQG-Controller design (5W)
    • State space models and their properties, linearization, singular values, realisation theory, basic state feedback control
    • Observer design
    • LQR/LQG controller design with Loop Transfer Recovery (incl. integral controller action), SISO and MIMO-Systems
  • Introduction to system identification (4W)
