Research interest is concerned with real life engineering systems whose time-dependent and nonlinear behaviour is an important aspect of their performance. Research and experimental work cover a variety of topics that are relevant to the modeling, analysis, design, control, simulation, and experimental testing of such systems. Systems from native engineering disciplines are considered, most notably electrical and electromechanical systems, because they often constitute parts of systems that have significant electrical and mechanical components as well as hybrid electromechanical ones . Much of the experimental work is on building linear or nonlinear time-invariant differential equation models and on analysis, design, and simulation techniques related to such models. A significant emphasis is on nonlinear systems with combined system modeling , simulation in MATLAB and SIMULINK and experimental testing and verification on pilot plants available as test units within Faculty Labs, or with real plant data ( gas and steam turbine and generator set speed and load control, Woodward governors, load sharing and frequency control).
