Stability Analysis of Control Systems

This report analyzes the stability of a unity feedback control system with an open-loop transfer function G(s) = K / [s(s+2)(s+3)]. The system is stable for 0 < K < 30, marginally stable at K = 30 with roots ±j√6 and -5, and unstable for K > 30. The stability is assessed using the Routh-Hurwitz criterion applied to the characteristic equation derived from the closed-loop transfer function.

Report: Stability Analysis of a Unity Feedback Control

System
1. Introduction:

This report analyzes the stability of a unity feedback control system with an open-loop transfer
function given by:

G(s) = K / [s(s+2)(s+3)]

We will determine the range of K for stability, find the value of K for marginal stability, and
calculate the roots of the characteristic equation for the marginally stable case.

2. Stability Analysis:

a) Range of K for Stability:

To determine the stability of the closed-loop system, we need to find the characteristic equation
and apply the Routh-Hurwitz criterion.

The closed-loop transfer function is given by:

T(s) = G(s) / [1 + G(s)]

Substituting the given G(s):

T(s) = K / [s(s+2)(s+3) + K]

The characteristic equation is:

s(s+2)(s+3) + K = 0

Expanding and simplifying:

s³ + 5s² + 6s + K = 0

Now, we apply the Routh-Hurwitz criterion:

s³ 1 6
s² 5 K
s¹ (30-K)/5 0
s⁰ K

For the system to be stable, all the elements in the first column must be positive. Therefore:
 K>0
 (30-K)/5 > 0 => K < 30

Thus, the range of K for stability is 0 < K < 30.

b) Value of K for Marginal Stability:

The system is marginally stable when one of the elements in the first column is zero. From the
Routh array, this occurs when:

(30-K)/5 = 0 => K = 30

c) Roots of the Characteristic Equation for Marginal Stability:

Substituting K = 30 into the characteristic equation:

s³ + 5s² + 6s + 30 = 0

To find the roots, we can use the auxiliary equation from the Routh array:

5s² + K = 0 => 5s² + 30 = 0 => s² = -6 => s = ±j√6

Now, we can factor the characteristic equation:

(s² + 6)(s + 5) = 0

Thus, the roots are:

 s = ±j√6
 s = -5

3. Conclusion:

The unity feedback control system with the given open-loop transfer function is stable for 0 < K
< 30. The system is marginally stable when K = 30, and the roots of the characteristic equation in
this case are ±j√6 and -5.

4. Simulink

When 0 < K < 30 the system is stability.


When K = 30 the system is marginal stability
When K > 30 the system is unstable
