Fuzzy-PID based control scheme for PMDC series motor speed control

摘要

Background/Objectives: PID controllers are widely used in different industrial appliations especially in achieving stable speed control of DC motors. Hower, due to their limitations, most often other methods like Sliding Mode controller, or fuzzy based controller are used. Since the Fuzzy controlers are more adaptive to non-linearity. This study is to analyse a fuzzy-based speed control scheme for tuning/adusting the performance of PID controller for the purpose of speed control of DC motor under the load condition. Methods/Statistical Analysis: Because of low precision and slow response in different control schemes, a performance comparison is shown between three different control approaches for the DC motor speed control. MATLAB’s Simulink platform is used to realize DC Motor and to implement the PID, Fuzzy and Fuzzy-based PID controllers to run the DC motor on the desired speed. Fuzzy controller is based on very few rule & performance is analyzed considering the load. Findings: The performance of three controllers is evaluated in terms of transient domain characteristics like Percentage overshoot, settling and rise times and percentage error under load (2000 rpm). The PID controller has the highest overshoot and hence a faster rise time while FLC has significantly reduced the overshoot, therefore causing rise time to increase. For the Fuzzy-PID controller the percentage overshoot has almost vanished. The rise time also decreased as compared to the FLC. The simulated controller’s responses confirm that Fuzzy-based PID controller has better performance comparing to independent PID and FLC controllers. Novel/Applications: In this work, the design of an intelligent Fuzzy-PID controller for the speed control of the DC motor with reduced complexity and a faster response using with minimum number of Fuzzy rules producing more optimized performance is presented. The design of a control strategy that has capability to control nonlinear behaviors and to stabilize the performance of linear systems specially to provide optimized performance for speed tracking system which is an important aspect in real time system design.
