Please hand in your work via the BART system. Note: If you hand this assignment after the deadline, a
mark of zero will be recorded, unless you make a case of leniency which is accepted by the Mitigation Commitee.
where δ is an angle in radians, Eq is voltage, P is mechanical input power, EF D is the field voltage (input), D
is damping coefficient, M is inertial coefficient, τ is time constant, and η1 , η2 , and η3 are constant parameters.
(a) Using δ, δ̇, and Eq as state variables, find the state equation. (03)
(b) Let P = 0.815, EF D = 1.22, η1 = 2.0, η2 = 2.7, η3 = 1.7, τ = 6.6, M = 0.0147, and D/M = 4. Find
all equilibrium points. (Hint: Consider all within the interval [−π, + π] for any state.) (04)
(c) Suppose that τ is relatively large so that Ėq ≈ 0. Show that assuming Eq to be constant reduces the
model to a pendulum equation. (Ref: Course notes for a pendulum equation) (03)

(a) Compute the controllability matrix and check whether the pair (A, B) is controllable? (03)
(b) Find a state feedback control u = −Kx such that the closed loop system has eigenvalues placed at

where g(.) : Rn → R is locally Lipschitz and nonnegative, and K is a constant matrix of appropriate dimension.
The term µ is scalar and positive. Show that f (x) is Lipschitz on any compact subset of Rn . (07)
