Lab 4 Enhancements

[adowling2]

Key concepts:

• PI control
• Benefits of anti-wind-up and bumpless transfer

Proposed Lab Changes:

• Pre-lab activity: tune via simulation and eigenvalue analysis
  • Perform eigenvalue analysis for naive PI and bumpless PI controllers (adapt from website) using values
  • Students verify gains with simulation
• Verify two points from your pre-lab activity. Do they work well? Optionally fine-tune your controller.
• Perform dark chocolate experiment.
• Calculate MAE and MSE for the dark chocolate experiment
• Deemphasize bumpless PI in this lab? Need to figure out how to fit this into the lecture schedule.

Proposed Website Changes:

• Add eigenvalue analysis for bumpless PI controller
• Add tuning PI controller via simulation (perhaps to eigenvalue webpages)
• Add code to calculate MAE and MSE to PI examples
