Optimal Control

ABOUT THE COURSE

The optimization techniques can be used in different ways depending on the approach (algebraic or geometric), the interest (single or multiple), the nature of the signals (deterministic or stochastic), and the stage (single or multiple). The main objective of optimal control is to determine control signals that will cause a process (plant) to satisfy some physical constraints and at the same time extremize (maximize or minimize) a chosen performance criterion (performance index or cost function).


INTENDED AUDIENCE

It is an Elective Course forPG, Research Engineers, Scientists, Non Ph.D Faculties.


PRE-REQUISITES

COURSE INSTRUCTOR



Dr. Barjeev Tyagi received the PhD in Electrical Engineering, IIT-Kanpur, 2005 and M. Tech Electrical Engineering (Control System) from IIT-Kharagpur in the year 2000. Prior to these he completed his B. E. Electrical Engineering from IIT-Roorkee (Formally Univ. of Roorkee) in 1987. Presently he is serving as Associate Professor in EED, IIT-Roorkee since 2007. His research interests include Control System Analysis and Design, Control application in Power System, Distributed Generation and Control.
