Robust Model Reference Adaptive Control of Angular Velocity Control Simulation of Brushed DC Motor
Abstract: Electric motors play
an important role in industry as well as our day-to-day life. They are used to
generate electrical power in power plants and provide mechanical work in
industries. They are also an indispensable part of our daily lives. Electric motors
are very important pieces of equipment in our everyday lives. The brushed DC
motor is considered to be basic electric motors. The aim of this paper is to
introduce students to the modelling of brushed dc motor and to use computer simulation
as a tool for conducting transient and control studies. Simulation can be very
helpful in gaining insights to the dynamic behaviour and interactions that are
often not readily apparent from reading theory. Next to having an actual system
to experiment on, simulation is often chosen by engineers to study transient
and control performance or to test conceptual designs. Presently, there are
many control laws available to control the brushed dc motor. The control law of
angular velocity depends on the motor parameters. The motor parameters are time
varying, especially load torque, hence adaptive control is one of the best
control law. In standard adaptive control, instability may be occur in the
presence of unmodeled dynamics. Robust adaptive control is designed so the
stability can be guaranteed.
