Title: Performance Analysis of closed loop system using Root locus technique

OBJECTIVE : To plot the root locus of the given systems and analyze the
performance

Theory : The basic characteristic of the transient response of a closed-loop system is


closely related to the location of the closed-loop poles. If the system has a variable
loop gain, then the location of the closed-loop poles depends on the value of the loop
gain chosen. It is important, therefore, that the designer know how the closed-loop
poles move in the s plane as the loop gain is varied. A simple method for finding the
roots of the characteristic equation has been developed by W. R. Evans (1950) and
used extensively in control engineering. This method, called the root-locus method, is
one in which the roots of the characteristic equation are plotted for all values of a
system parameter. The roots corresponding to a particular value of this parameter can
then be located on the resulting graph. Note that the parameter is usually the gain, but
any other variable of the open-loop transfer function may be used. By using the root-
locus method the control Engineer can predict the effects on the location of the
closed-loop poles with varying the gain value.

Root locus is the locus of roots of the characteristic equation of the closed-loop
system as a specific parameter (usually, gain K) is varied from zero to infinity. From
Root locus system stability and transient response specifications for any value of gain
K can be found
