A particularly important objective within Automatic Control is the design of closed-loop regulators with guaranteed stability and state observers. In the naval field, applications of automatic control include the management of propulsion systems, the control of individual devices and onboard processes, and the regulation systems for course and navigation, to name just a few examples. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES This course introduces the state-space representation of dynamic models for automatic control applications in the maritime context. Structural properties in the state space (observability and reachability) for continuous-time linear systems with concentrated parameters will be explained. In addition, the stability properties of linear and nonlinear models will be studied with reference to applications of guidance, navigation, and control of marine systems. AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to: Analyze the structural properties of dynamic systems described by state-space equations with lumped parameters Design simple state observers and control systems for dynamic systems PREREQUISITES Linear Algebra and Mathematical Analysis TEACHING METHODS The teaching methods for the course include: Classroom lectures Exercises using MATLAB Students with certification for Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD), disabilities, or other special educational needs are advised to contact the instructor at the beginning of the course and in any case well in advance (copying the Engineering Representative (https://unige.it/commissioni/comitatoperlinclusionedeglistudenticondisabilita.html)), to agree on teaching and examination methods that, while respecting the course objectives, take into account individual learning methods.
