    Control Systems - Stability

    Stability is an important concept. In this chapter, let us discuss the stability of system and types
    of systems based on stability.

    What is Stability?
    A system is said to be stable, if its output is under control. Otherwise, it is said to be unstable. A
    stable system produces a bounded output for a given bounded input.

    The following figure shows the response of a stable system.

    This is the response of first order control system for unit step input. This response has the values
    between 0 and 1. So, it is bounded output. We know that the unit step signal has the value of one
    for all positive values of t including zero. So, it is bounded input. Therefore, the first order control
    system is stable since both the input and the output are bounded.

    Types of Systems based on Stability


    We can classify the systems based on stability as follows.

    Absolutely stable system

    Conditionally stable system

    Marginally stable system


    Absolutely Stable System

    If the system is stable for all the range of system component values, then it is known as the
    absolutely stable system. The open loop control system is absolutely stable if all the poles of the
    open loop transfer function present in left half of ‘s’ plane. Similarly, the closed loop control
    system is absolutely stable if all the poles of the closed loop transfer function present in the left
    half of the ‘s’ plane.

    Conditionally Stable System

    If the system is stable for a certain range of system component values, then it is known as
    conditionally stable system.

    Marginally Stable System

    If the system is stable by producing an output signal with constant amplitude and constant
    frequency of oscillations for bounded input, then it is known as marginally stable system. The
    open loop control system is marginally stable if any two poles of the open loop transfer function
    is present on the imaginary axis. Similarly, the closed loop control system is marginally stable if
    any two poles of the closed loop transfer function is present on the imaginary axis.
