Optimal PID Tuning for DC Motor Speed Controller Based on Genetic Algorithm

The point of this paper presents an optimization technique which is flexible and quick tuning by using a genetic algorithm (GA) to obtain the optimum proportional-integral-derivative (PID) parameters for speed control of aseparately excited DC motor as a benchmark for performance analysis. The optimization method is used for searching for the proper value of PID parameters. The speed controller of DC motor using PID tuning method sincludes three types: MATALB PID tunner app., modified Ziegler-Nicholsmethod and genetic algorithm (GA). PID controller parameters (Kp, Ki and Kd) will be obtained by GA to produce optimal performance for the DC motor control system. Simulation results indicate that the tuning method of PID by using a genetic algorithm is shown to create the finest result in system performance such as settling time, rise time, percentage of overshoot and steady state error. The MATLAB/Simulink software is used to model and simulate the proposed DC motor controller system.

Control Scheme

<p>This paper presents a control scheme for speed control system in brushless dc (BLDC) motor to be utilized for electric motorbike. While conventional motorbikes require engine and fuel, electric motorbikes require DC motor and battery pack in order to be powered up. The limitation with battery pack is that it will need to be recharged after a certain period and distance. As the recharging process is time consuming, a PID controller is designed to maintain the speed of the motor at its optimum state, thus ensuring a longer lasting battery time (until the next charge). The controller is designed to track variations of speed references and stabilizes the output speed accordingly. The simulation results conducted in MATLAB/SIMULINK® shows that the motor, equipped with the PID controller was able to track the reference speed in 7.8x10<sup>-2</sup> milliseconds with no overshoot. The result shows optimistic possibility that the proposed controller can be used to maintain the speed of the motor at its optimum speed.</p>

Hardware In Loop

This paper presents an implementation of a microcontroller based boost converter to maintain constant speed of a DC motor. The optimised values namely kp,ki,kd of the Boost Converter are taken from firefly algorithm[10] and implemented using microcontroller. Pulse width modulation (PWM) is a procedure to generate changeable pulse width with different duty cycle. The PWM signal reduces the switching losses. This paper presents a DC motor speed controller where PID Controller is used where the optimized values of kp,ki,kd are taken from firefly algorithm[10]. The PWM pulse width will alter the speed of the motor. The motor voltage and revolutions per seconds (RPS) obtained at different duty cycle rates. With increase in duty cycle, further voltage is applied to the motor. This gives stronger magnetic flux in the armature windings and to enhance revolutions per seconds. The characteristics and concert of the DC motor speed control system was discussed. In this paper, a PIC microcontroller is designed with a DC-DC boost converter for the motor speed controller system. Finally to improve the graphical result we design the hardware in loop method using matlab.

And Performance

Pulse width modulation (PWM) is used to generate pulses with variable duty cycle rate. The rapid rising and falling edges of PWM signal minimises the switching transition time and the associated switching losses. This paper presents a DC motor speed controller system using PWM technique. The PWM duty cycle is used to vary the speed of the motor by controlling the motor terminal voltage.The motor voltage and revolutions per minutes (RPM) obtained at different duty cycle rates. As the duty cycle increases, more voltage is applied to the motor. This contributes to the stronger magnetic flux inside the armature windings and the increasethe RPM. The characteristics and performance of the DC motor speed control system was investigated. In this paper, a PIC microcontroller and a DC-DC buck converter are employed in the DC motor speed controller system circuit. The microcontroller provides flexibility to the circuit by incorporating two push button switches in order to increase and to decrease the duty cycle rate. The characteristics and performance of the motor speed controller system using microcontroller was examined at different duty cycle rate ranging from 19% to 99%.

Production Target

This research presents a very important industrial issue of controlling the production target, despite changing loads. Engines of various types, whether synchronous or synchronous, operate on single and three phase AC, DC motors or special motors such as stepper and servo. In all these motors, the speed control of the torque and speed of the above motors has gained considerable importance. There are three main ways reviewed in the current search, the second that completes the previous research referred to in the references. The three methods are PID method, LQR method and feeding –forward control methods. A real DC motor was used in electrical engineering machine laboratory at University of Diyala, Iraq. Where the actual parameters of the DC motor were actually calculated. The practical parameters were then integrated into the three control method Matlab codes for the purpose of comparing the results and representing the motor performance in the indicated control methods.
