Aims

Familiarize students with basic techniques for dynamic system identification and with their possible limitations. The students will get to know how the noise acting on the plant influences the identification results and how to cope with it.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

The content and forms of instruction in the evaluated course are specified by a regulation issued by the lecturer responsible for the course and updated for every academic year.
