This course introduces a broad range of non-trivial techniques and approaches for modelling and simulation of dynamic engineering systems. Techniques include discrete event models; first- and second-order system models; time, frequency and state space relations; and feedback systems. These concepts are introduced through the modelling of electrical systems, mechanical systems, energy systems, control systems, etc. Modelling software such as ExtendSim, MATLAB or Simulink will be key tools in this course.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- Implement a wide range of deterministic and probabilistic system models
- Demonstrate the relationship between different types of system models
- Illustrate simple properties of dynamic systems in both time and frequency domains
- Implement system models in a simulation environment
- Evaluate the appropriate modelling paradigm(s) to describe the dynamic behaviour of real engineering systems
