OPTIMAL
CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF CONTROL SYSTEM
The classical control theory concerned with single input and single output (SISO) is mainly based on
Laplace transforms theory and its use in system representation in block diagram form as follows.
Y (s) G (s)
R (s) 1 G (s)H (s)
where
G ( s ) G c ( s )G p ( s )
Note :
1. The input u(t) to the plant is determined by the error e(t) and the compensator,
2. All the variables are not readily available for feedback. In most cases only one output variable is availab
for feedback.

3. OPTIMIZATION
PTIMIZATION PROBLEM
Optimization Is A Very Desirable Feature In Day-to-day Life. We Like To Work And Use Our
Time In An Optimum Manner, Use Resources Optimally And So On.
Optimization :
Static Optimization Is Concerned With Controlling A Plant Under Steady State Conditions, I.E., The
System Variables Are Not Changing With Respect To Time. The Plant Is Then Described By
Algebraic Equations.
Dynamic Optimization Concerns With The Optimal Control Of Plants Under Dynamic Conditions,
I.E., The System Variables Are Changing With Respect To Time And Thus The Time Is Involved In
System Description. Then The Plant Is Described By Differential (Or Difference) Equations.

Or, in general

Similarly, we can think of minimization of the integral of the squared error of a tracking system. We then
have,
t f
J x T ( t ) Qx ( t ) dt
to
where x (t ) x a (t ) x d (t )
x a ( t ) : actual value
x d (t ) : desired value
Q : positive semi-definite
definite weighting matrix
Which is also called the terminal cost function, Here F is a positive semi-definite
semi matrix
erformance Index for General Optimal Control System: Combining the above formulations, we have a
erformance index in general form as
t
x
T f T T
J x ( t f ) Fx ( t f ) ( t ) Qx ( t ) u ( t ) Ru ( t ) dt
to
or
t
J S ( x ( t f ), t f ) to
f
V x ( t ), u ( t ), t dt
problems arising in optimal control are classified based on the structure of the performance index J. If the PI
tains the terminal cost function S(x(t), u(t),t)) only, it is called the Mayer problem, if the PI has only the integral
term, it is called the Lagrange problem, and the problem is of the Bolza type if the PI contains both the
minal cost term and the integral cost term.
FORMAL STATEMENT OF OPTIMAL CONTROL SYSTEM
The optimal control problem is to find the optimal control u * ( t ) (* indicates ptimal value) which causes the linear time
invariant plant (system) control
