Unit-5Root–Locus Techniques Q1) Sketch the root locus for given open loop transfer function G(S) =  .A1) G(s) = Number of Zeros = 0Number of polls S = (0, -1+j, -1-j) = (3).1)     Number of Branches = max (P, Z) = max (3, 0) = 3.2)     As there are no zeros in the system so, all branches terminate at infinity.3)     As P>Z, branches terminate at infinity through the path shown by asymptotes

                  Asymptote = × 180°   q = 0, 1, 2………..(p-z-1)

P=3, Z=0.

q= 0, 1, 2.

For q=0

Asymptote = 1/3 × 180° = 60°

For q=1

Asymptote = × 180°

= 180°

For q=2

Asymptote = × 180° = 300°

Asymptotes = 60°,180°,300°.

 

4)     Asymptote intersects real axis at centroid

Centroid =

=

Centroid = -0.66

 

 5)     As poles are complex so angle of departure øD = (2q+1) × 180°+øø = Z –P.Calculating ø for S=0

Join all the other poles with S=0ø = Z –P.= 0-(315°+45°)= -360°ØD = (2q + 1)180 + ø.= 180° - 360°ØD = -180°     (for q=0)                 = 180°           (for q=1)     =540°     (for q=2) Calculation ØD for pole at (-1+j)

                 ø = Z –P.= 0 –(135°+90°)= -225°ØD = (2q+1) 180°+ø.= 180-225°= -45°ØD = -45°  (for q = 0)        = 315°    (for q = 1)= 675°   (for q =2)6)     The crossing point on imaginary axis can be calculated by Routh Hurwitz the characteristic equation is.1+G(s) H (s) = 01+S (S2+2s+2)+k = 0S3+2s2+2s+K = 0

So, when K=2 root locus crosses imaginary axis

For Sn = 0 for valve of S at that K

 The root locus plot is shown in figure 1.

Fig 1 Root Locus for G(S) =   Q2) Sketch the root locus plot for the following open loop transfer functionG(s) = A2)
  • Number of zero = 0, number of poles = 3
  • As P>Z, branches will terminate at infinity
  • There are no zeros so all branches will terminate at infinity.
  • The path for the branches is shown by asymptote
  • Asymptote = ×180°. q=0,1,………p-z-1

    P=3, Z=0

    q= 0,1,2.

    For q = 0

    Asymptote = × 180° = 60.

    For q=1

    Asymptote = × 180° = 180°

    For q=2

    Asymptote = × 180° = 300°

     5.     Asymptote intersect real axis at centroid

    Centroid =

    = = -1

     6.     As root locus lies between poles S= 0, and S= -1

    So, calculating breakaway point.

    = 0

    The characteristic equation is

    1+ G(s) H (s) = 0.

    1+ = 0

    K = -(S3+3S2+2s)

    = 3S2+6s+2 = 0

    3s2+6s+2 = 0

    S = -0.423, -1.577.

    So, breakaway point is at S=-0.423

    because root locus is between S= 0 and S= -1

     7.     The intersection of root locus with imaginary axis is given by Routh criterion.

  • Number of zeros = 0 number of poles = 4
  •         P = (S=0,-1,-1+j,-1-j) = 42.     As P>Z all the branches will terminated at infinity.3.     As no zeros so all branches terminate at infinity.4.     The path for branches is shown by asymptote.

    Asymptote =        q = 0,1,…..(Þ-z-1)

     

    q=0,1,2,3.             (P-Z = 4-0)

    for q=0

                Asymptote = ×180° =45°

    For q=1

                Asymptote = ×180° =135°

    For q=2

              Asymptote = ×180° =225° 

    For q=3

                                Asymptote = ×180° =315°

     5.     Asymptote intersects real axis at unmarried

    Centroid =  

    Centroid = = = -0.75

    6)     As poles are complex so angle of departure is

    ØD = (2q+1) ×180 + ø                       ø = Z –P.

     A)    Calculating Ø for S=0

    ø = Z –P.= 0 –[315° + 45°]Ø = -360°For q = 0ØD = (2q+1) 180° + Ø= 180 - 360°ØD = -180°b) Calculating Ø for S=-1+jø = Z –P.= 0-[135° + 90° + 90°]Ø = -315°For q=0ØD= (2q+1) 180° +Ø= 180° -315°ØD = -135°ØD for S=1+j        will be ØD = 45° 7)     As the root locus lie between S=0 and S=-1

    So, the breakaway point is calculated

    1+ G(s)H(s) = 0

     

    1+ = 0

    K = -[S4+S3+2s3+2s2+2s2+2s]

    = 4S3+9S2+8S+2=0

    S = -0.39, -0.93, -0.93.

    The breakaway point is at S = -0.39 as root locus exists between S= 0 and S=-18)     Intersection of root locus with imaginary axis is given by Routh Hurwitz

  • Number of zeros = 0. Number of poles = 4 located at S=0, -3, -1+j, -1-j.
  • As no. zero so all branches terminate at infinity.
  •  The asymptote shows the both to the branches terminating at infinity.
  • Asymptote =                    q=0,1,….(p-z).

    For q = 0

    Asymptote = 45

    For q = 1

    Asymptote = 135

    For q = 2

    Asymptote = 225

    For q = 3

    Asymptote = 315

     (4). The asymptote intersects real axis at centroid.

    Centroid = ∑Real part of poles - ∑Real part of zero / P – Z

    = [-3-1-1] – 0 / 4 – 0

    Centroid = -1.25

     (5). As poles are complex so angle of departureφD = (29 + 1)180 + φ

    ø = Z –P.= 0 – [ 135 + 26.5 + 90 ]= -251.56For q = 0φD = (29 + 1)180 + φ= 180 – 215.5φD = - 71.56(6). Break away point  dk / ds = 0  is at   S = -2.28.(7).

    Fig 5 Root Locus for G(s) =  Q6) Sketch the root locus for open loop transfer function. G(S) = K(S + 6)/S(S + 4)A6)
  • Number of zeros = 1(S = -6)
  • Number of poles = 2(S = 0, -4)2.     As P > Z one branch will terminate at infinity and the other at S = -6.3.     For Break away and breaking point 1 + G(S)H(S) = 01 + K(S + 6)/S(S + 4) = 0dk/ds = 0S2 + 12S + 24 = 0S = -9.5, -2.5 Breakaway point is at -2.5 and Break in point is at -9.5.4.     Root locus will be in the form of a circle. So finding the centre and radius.

    5.     Let S = + jw.

    G( + jw) =  K(  + jw + 6)/(   + jw)( + jw + 4 ) = +- π 

    tan-1  w/ + 6 - tan-1 w/ – tan-1 w / + 4 = - π

    taking tan of both sides.

    w/ + w/ + 4 / 1 – w/ w/ + 4 = tan π + w / + 6 / 1 - tan π w/ + 6

    w/ + w/ + 4 = w/ + 6[ 1 – w2 / ( + 4) ]

    (2 + 4)( + 6) = (2 + 4 – w2)

    2 2 + 12 + 4 + 24 = 2 + 4 – w2

    22 + 12 + 24 = 2 – w2

    2 + 12 – w2 + 24 = 0

    Adding 36 on both sides

    ( + 6)2 + (w + 0)2 = 12

     

     The above equation shows circle with radius 3.46 and centre (-6, 0) the plot is shown in figure 6
