Regulation – Compare simple and sophisticated regulation

Publicerad 2012-12-05

Place of action
Electronic Defence Systems, a business area of Saab, is one of the world’s premier suppliers of solutions for surveillance, avionics and systems to detect, locate and protect against threat.
At our site in Jönköping we are developing computer based systems and components for the next generation of aircraft from the world-leading aircraft manufacturers.
Our group is working with specification, development and verification of software for utility and mission computers, control computers, hydraulic actuators, electric motors and motor controllers.

Your future challenge
The Master’s thesis concerns theoretic and practical studies of regulation.
In many servo applications we refine the control loop to achieve good performance and behaviour. However, for some applications the outer system has a lot of inertia and maybe even gap. Is this sophistication regulation necessary?
Design models in e.g Matlab/Simulink from existing solution and compare them with simplified ones.
Compare different grade of complexity;
• Position control
• Speed control
• Condition control
The simplest solution could be an On/off regulation.
Evaluate the difference for the final users
Your job will include planning, specification and documentation.
