Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 1PA
You are an electrician on the job. The electrical blueprint shows that eight 500-W lamps are to be installed on the same circuit. The circuit voltage is 277 V and is protected by a 20-A circuit breaker. A continuous-use circuit can be loaded to only 80% of its rating. Is a 20-A circuit large enough to carry this load?

Consider a plant that you want to control. The input u(t) and output y(t) of the plant are related by y(t) = 7 u(t) + w(t) where w(t) is an additive disturbance at the output which is bounded by -0.5 w(t) ≤0.5 for all time t.

You will consider both open-loop and closed-loop for this problem. a) Sketch the block diagram of the plant. b) Please build an open-loop controller that sets the output to 7, assuming the disturbance is ignored. Please show your controller both as an equation and a block diagram. c) Say that you use the open-loop controller in part b, but now the disturbance w(t) is present.
