Modern Control Systems – Richard C. Dorf, Robert H. Bishop – 13th Edition

Developing Problem Solving Skills Through Integrated Design and Analysis The purpose of Dorf’s modern control systems, Thirteenth Edition, is to present the structure of feedback control theory and to provide a sequence of exciting discoveries. The book shows Various global real-world engineering problems while tapping evolving design strategies like green technology.

Some of the issues in question include climate change, clean water, sustainability, waste management, emission reduction and energy minimization. Throughout the text, the reader applies the theory to the design and analysis of control systems. The thirteenth edition continues to explore the role and need for accurate and automated control systems in green engineering.

Key examples of green engineering are shown in detail, such as controlling wind turbines and modeling a photovoltaic generator to achieve maximum energy delivery. The text is organized around the concept of theory of control systems in the context of frequency and time domains. “Written to be equally useful for all engineering disciplines, it covers topics such as classical control, employing root locus design, frequency, and response design using Bode and Nyquist graphs.
