  3. Stability is the most important system specification. If a system is unstable, the transient response and steady-state errors are in a moot point. • Definition of stability, for linear, time-invariant system by using natural response: • A system is stable if the natural response approaches zero as time approaches infinity. • A system is unstable if the natural response approaches infinity as time approaches infinity • A system is marginally stable if the natural response neither decays nor grows but remains constant or oscillates. Introduction

  4. Definition of stability using the total response bounded-input, bounded-output (BIBO): • A system is stable if every bounded input yields a bounded output. • A system is unstable if any bounded input yields an unbounded output. Introduction

  5. Absolute Stability: • The absolute stability indicates whether the system is stable or not. • This is indicated by the presence of one or more poles in RHP. • Relative Stability: • Relative stability refers to the degree of stability of a stable system described by above. • This depends on the transfer function of the system, which is represented by both the numerator (that yields the zeros) and denominator (that yields the poles). • This can then be referred to in the study of system response either in time or frequency domain. Absolute & Relative Stability

  6. Stable systems have closed-loop transfer functions with poles only in the left half-plane. System Stability

  7. Unstable systems have closed-loop transfer functions with at least one pole in the right half-plane and/or poles of multiplicity greater than 1 on the imaginary axis. System Stability

  8. Marginally stable systems have closed-loop transfer functions with only imaginary axis poles of multiplicity 1 and poles on the imaginary axis. System Stability

  9. To determine stability of a given system, we have to consider the manner in which the system is operating, whether open-loop or closed-loop. • If the system is operating in closed-loop, first find the closed loop transfer function. • Find the closed-loop poles. • If the order of the system is 2 or less, factorise the denominator of the transfer function. This will provide the roots of the polynomial, or the closed-loop poles of the system. • If the system order is higher than 2nd-order, use construct Routh table and apply Routh-Hurwitz Criterion. • Any poles that exist on the RHP will indicate that the system is unstable. Determining System Stability

  10. Routh-Hurwitz Stability Criterion: The number of roots of the polynomial that are in the right half-plane is equal to the number of changes in the first column. • Systems with the transfer function having all poles in the LHP is stable. • Hence, we can conclude that a system is stable if there is no change of sign in the first column of its Routh table. • However, special cases exists when: • There exists zero only in the first column. • The entire row is zero. Routh–Hurwitz Criterion

  11. If a polynomial is given by: • The necessary conditions for stability are: • All the coefficients of the polynomial are of the same sign. If not, there are poles on the right hand side of the s-plane. • All the coefficient should exist accept for a0. Routh–Hurwitz Criterion Where, an, an-1, …, a1, a0 are constants n = 1, 2, 3,…, ∞

  12. For the sufficient condition, we must form a Routh-array. Routh-Hurwitz Criterion

  13. For the sufficient condition, we must formed a Routh-array. Routh-Hurwitz Criterion
