Download or read book Multi-Stage and Multi-Time Scale Feedback Control of Linear Systems with Applications to Fuel Cells written by Verica Radisavljević-Gajić and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-12 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive study of multi-stage and multi-time scale design of feedback controllers for linear dynamic systems. It examines different types of controllers as can be designed for different parts of the system (subsystems) using corresponding feedback gains obtained by performing calculations (design) only with subsystem (reduced-order) matrices.The advantages of the multi-stage/multi-time scale design are presented and conditions for implementation of these controllers are established. Complete derivations and corresponding design techniques are presented for two-stage/two-time-scale, three-stage/three-time scale, and four-stage/four-time-scale systems. The techniques developed have potential applications to a large number of real physical systems. The design techniques are demonstrated on examples of mathematical models of fuel cells, especially the proton exchange membrane fuel cell.
