Controllable and observable system

A system is controllable and observable if its states can be controlled and observed from input-output measurements.

Rank of controllability matrix

The rank of the controllability matrix C indicates the number of linearly independent states that can be controlled.

Study Notes

Week 12: Design using State Space

Question 1

  • A system is described by state-space equations with matrices A, B, and output equation.
  • The system is controllable and observable.

Common Data for Q2-Q7

  • Consider the state matrix A and input matrix B given by specific matrices.

2) Rank of Controllability Matrix

  • The rank of the controllability matrix C is 2.

3) Similarity Transformation Matrix

  • A similarity transformation matrix T is chosen such that T⁻¹ is formed by taking the first two linearly independent columns of C and the last vector [0 0 1]ᵀ.
  • T is then given by a specific matrix.

4) Matrices A and B

  • The matrices A = T A T⁻¹ and B = T B are given by specific matrices.

5) How Many Controllable Eigenvalues

  • There are 1 controllable eigenvalue(s) of A.

6) Largest Controllable Eigenvalue

  • The largest controllable eigenvalue is 0.

7) Largest Uncontrollable Eigenvalue

  • The largest uncontrollable eigenvalue is 2.

8) Similar Matrices

  • If A and B are similar matrices such that A = P⁻¹BP for any transformation matrix P, then A² = P⁻¹BP.

9) System Definition

  • Consider the system defined by state-space equations with specific A and B matrices.
  • By using the state feedback control u = -Kx, it is desired to have the closed-loop poles of A at -1 ± j2, and -10.
  • The state feedback gain matrix K is [49 20 6].

Common Data for Q10-Q12

  • System definition: xdot = Az + Bu and y = Cz with specified matrices A, B, and C.

10) Total State Variables

  • Total number of state variables in the output feedback (comprising the plant and the observer) system defined by (I) is 6.

11) Controller Gain

  • Let K = [k1 k2 k3] be the controller gain. k3 = 0.

12) Feedback Gain

  • Let L = [l1 l2 l3]ᵀ be the feedback gain of the observer: l1 = 16.

13) Second-Order System

  • The state space representation of a second-order system is given.
  • The claim that the states of the system can reach z* = [0.8 -0.48]ᵀ in finite time is wrong since the state z1 is uncontrollable.
