Single Controllers for Simplified Control

For simpler control scenarios, the use of single controllers offers a straightforward and effective approach. Single controllers, such as proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers, are widely used due to their simplicity, robustness, and ease of implementation. They operate by continuously adjusting the control signal based on the error between the desired and actual system output.

In this chapter, we delve into the design and analysis of single controllers, exploring their mathematical foundations and practical applications. We cover the principles of PID control, gain scheduling, and model-based control, providing a comprehensive understanding of how to design and tune single controllers for optimal performance.

Multiple Controllers for Enhanced Complexity

As control problems become more complex, the use of multiple controllers becomes necessary to achieve the desired level of performance. Multiple controllers allow for the decomposition of a complex control task into smaller, more manageable subtasks, each handled by a dedicated controller.

In this chapter, we explore the challenges and benefits of using multiple controllers, examining different architectures and coordination strategies. We discuss decentralized control, where each controller operates autonomously, as well as centralized control, where a central coordinator orchestrates the actions of multiple controllers.

Advanced Control Techniques for Optimal Performance

To meet the demands of modern control systems, advanced control techniques go beyond the scope of single and multiple controllers. These techniques, such as model predictive control (MPC) and adaptive control, provide enhanced performance and robustness in the face of system uncertainties and disturbances.

In this chapter, we provide an overview of advanced control techniques, exploring their mathematical foundations and practical applications. We cover the principles of MPC, adaptive control, and nonlinear control, providing a roadmap for understanding and utilizing these techniques for optimal system performance.
