System Identification
15th September 2010, Glasgow

Employees of ACTC member companies, are entitled to two places free of charge. Employees of companies that are not ACTC members will be required to pay a nominal fee to help defray costs (see below for details).

Registration is required. Please ensure the payment details section of the form is completed.

Overview

The system identification is probably the most important and difficult step required for a successful modern control design.

The Course is aimed at engineers who are involved in system modeling and model based control/simulation. Basic System ID methods such as least square algorithm and Kalman filter estimation are discussed in this course to provide a good background understanding. Real life issues such as implementing system ID and model validation can be problematic and this will be addressed and discussed in the course. Furthermore, a popular system ID technique namely parameter estimation for grey-box models is also discussed in this course. Hands-On sessions are used to reinforce the lecture materials.
