EE123 Electrical Engineering ( Introduction to Systems and Control ) Assignment Brief - 2025

EE123 ABSTRACT

The abstract is a short summary (100-200 words) of the key findings of your project. The abstract should explain to the reader why your report is important.

1 EE123 INTRODUCTION 

The introduction chapter should introduce the project to the reader. Briefly explain the objectives and scope of your project.

2 EE123 THE MASS-SPRING-DAMPER IN ENGINEERING

This chapter should explain why the MSD is important in mechanical engineering. Give examples with diagrams/images and cite your sources. All figures should be numbered and captioned. Figure 1 shows an example.

3 EE123 MODELLING

This chapter should cover the modelling of your MSD plant. It should include a diagram of the physical plant, a free body diagram, a derivation of the differential equation model and a derivation of the Laplace transfer function model. Use the Equation Editor for all equations. Equations should be centred and numbered as follows (copy/paste the below line and edit the equation as needed):

You should describe your plant using system dynamic terms e.g. steady-state gain, order, damping.

3.1 Differential Equation Model

Derive the differential equation model using text/figures/equations.

3.2 Laplace Transfer Function Model

Derive the Laplace transfer function model using text/figures/equations/citations.

4 EE123 CONTROL SYSTEM

This chapter should explain the purpose of a control system and how we measure the performance of a control system.

4.1 Purpose Of Control

Explain the purpose of a control system using text/figures/equations.

4.2 Step Response

Explain what a step response, and how we measure the transient and steady-state response using text/figures/equations.

4.3 Open-Loop And Closed-Loop Control

Explain open-loop and closed-loop control using text/figures/equations.

4.4 PID Control

Explain PID control using text/figures/equations.

4.5 Zeigler-Nichols PID Tuning

Explain the Zeigler-Nichols closed-loop (i.e. ultimate cycle) tuning method using text/figures/equations.

5 EE123 RESULTS

This chapter should use graphs and tables to present and discuss your results.

5.1 Simulink Model

Describe your Simulink model using text/figures/equations.

5.2 Lab 4 Results

Use graphs and tables to present and discuss your lab 4 results. Each result should be discussed.

5.3 PID Tuning Experiment

Describe your Zeigler-Nichols tuning experiment using text/figures/equations.

5.4 Simulink Autotuning PID

Briefly describe your autotuning experiments using figures/text.

5.5 Tuned PID Results

Use graphs and tables to present and discuss your tuned PID results (Zeigler-Nichols and autotuned). Each result should be discussed.
