1.
Design a robotic arm position control system using servo actuators, comparing ON-OFF,
proportional, and PID control under varying loads.
2. Develop a drone altitude control system with disturbance rejection, comparing PID control
with cascade control (inner loop for thrust, outer loop for altitude).
3. Simulate a boiler temperature control system with time delay in feedback, and evaluate how
Smith Predictor improves stability and reduces oscillations
4. Design a wind turbine speed control system, where blade pitch is adjusted using PID and
feedforward control to maintain optimal rotational speed under fluctuating wind conditions.
5. Develop a temperature control system for a smart greenhouse, integrating feedback control
with feedforward compensation for external weather disturbances like sunlight and ambient
temperature.
6. Simulate a bioreactor control system for fermentation, where pH and temperature are
controlled simultaneously using multivariable and cascade control strategies.
7. Model and control a magnetic levitation (maglev) system, focusing on stabilization using PID
and analyzing system instability.
8. Develop a two-input two-output (TITO) tank system, where level and flow are controlled
simultaneously, and implement basic decoupling control
9. Develop a DC motor speed control system with load torque disturbance, and implement
cascade control (inner current loop, outer speed loop).
10. Simulate a water distribution system with two pumps, and implement load sharing using
ratio control.
11. Design and simulate a temperature control system for a heated tank with transport delay,
and compare the performance of a conventional PI controller with a Smith Predictor-based
controller under setpoint changes and inlet temperature disturbances.
12. Simulate a two-input two-output (TITO) process and design a decentralized control
structure, followed by implementation of a decoupler to reduce interaction effects.
13. Model and simulate a non-minimum phase system (inverse response process) and design a
control strategy that minimizes undershoot and improves stability.
14. Model a distillation column with strong loop interactions and design a decoupling controller
using Relative Gain Array (RGA), then compare performance with decentralized PID control.
15. Design and simulate a ratio control system for a blending process, where two inlet streams
must maintain a fixed composition despite flow disturbances, and compare its performance
with independent flow control loops.
