Poles and Stability

When the poles of the closed-loop transfer function of a given system are located in the right-half of the S-plane (RHP), the system becomes unstable. When the poles of the system are located in the left-half plane (LHP) and the system is not improper, the system is shown to be stable.

Is system stable if poles at origin?

A system with a pole at the origin is also marginally stable but in this case there will be no oscillation in the response as the imaginary part is also zero (jw = 0 means w = 0 rad/sec). An example of such a system is a mass on a surface with friction.

How poles and zeros affect stability?

Addition of poles to the transfer function has the effect of pulling the root locus to the right, making the system less stable. Addition of zeros to the transfer function has the effect of pulling the root locus to the left, making the system more stable.

How do poles determine the stability of a system?

If all the poles lie in the left half of the s-plane, then the system is stable. If the system has two or more poles in the same location on the imaginary axis, then the system is unstable. If the system has one or more non-repeated poles on the imaginary axis, then the system is marginally stable.
