Assignment 2 Stability, Steady State Error, PID

This document appears to be an assignment for a control engineering course. It includes two problems related to stability, steady state error, and PID control. Problem 1 involves analyzing the stability and steady state performance of a pendulum system under proportional, PI, and PID control. Problem 2 involves modeling a motor speed control system using PID control and simulating the system response to step inputs for disturbance and desired speed under P, PI, and PID control. The document provides the problems, leaves space for solutions, and notes that MATLAB simulations should be included in the answers.

Problem (1):
Consider the system shown in the Figure below, which represents control of the angle of a
pendulum which has no damping.

Required:
a) If the controller was chosen to be a proportional controller (i.e. D(s) = Kp), what is the system
type?
b) Will the system be able to track a ramp reference input with constant steady state error? Prove it
by calculating the steady state error.
c) What condition must D(s) satisfy so that the system can track a ramp reference input with
constant steady state error? (How many poles at the origin should D(s) have ?)
d) For a transfer function that stabilizes the system and satisfies the condition in (c), find the class of
disturbances (e.g. step, ramp, ...) that the system can reject with zero steady state error.
e) Show that although PI controller satisfies the condition in (c), it will not yield a stable closed loop
system.
f) Show that a PID controller will be able to stabilize the closed loop system and allow it to track a
ramp input with constant steady state error. What constraints must Kp, Ki, Kd satisfy to stabilize
the system in this case?
g) Discuss qualitatively and briefly the effects of small variations in the controller parameters Kp, Ki,
Kd on the system's rise time and overshoot for a unit step response.

Note:

To check your results, the system response for parts (d) & (e) are shown in the Next Page. You don't
have to show your results combined as shown.

Let the unused controller parameters be zero.

Hint:

To show the step response for only the specified time, read the help guide by typing in the command
window of Matlab:
