Question: This problem examines the steady - state error of a negative unity - feedback control system. Its forward path is comprised of a PID controller

This problem examines the steady-state error of a negative unity-feedback control system. Its forward path is comprised of a PID controller in series with a first-order plant described, respectively, by transfer functions K(s)= + s +s and P(s)=1 s +a , where controller parameters , and denote the (real-valued) gains of three independently adjustable amplifiers and plant parameter a is associated to an arbitrary (real-valued) pole location (at s =a).(a) Determine the closed-loop transfer function T(s)(from reference input to controlled output, as usual) in terms of all four parameters, expressing the result as a ratio of two polynomials in s.(b) Determine conditions on gains , and , expressed as a function of plant parameter a, to ensure that the closed-loop system is stable. Note: You should see that your answer depends upon whether 0 or <0, but for simplicity consider only the case of 0.(c) Again for only the case in which 0, what additional conditions on the gains (if any) to those in part (b) will yield less than 5% error in steady state to a ramp input? (d) If power considerations limit the controllers three amplifiers to each have maximum magnitude-gain of 100, determine bounds on plant parameter a such that the specifications of part (c) can still be met. Hint: Answer after considering separately the cases of >1 and <1.
