OEL Report (2)

The document outlines a simulation of a DC motor speed control system using MATLAB, focusing on the performance analysis with and without a PID controller. It provides a simplified transfer function model of the DC motor and MATLAB code for simulating the motor's response. The results demonstrate that the PID controller significantly enhances the motor's speed response, achieving faster rise time and reduced steady-state error.

DC Motor Speed Control using MATLAB
and PID Controller
Objective
To model and simulate a practical DC motor speed control system using MATLAB, and
analyze the performance of the system with and without a PID controller.

System Description
The system under consideration is a simplified DC motor model. DC motors are widely used
in various industrial and robotic applications where precise control of motor speed is
required. The motor is modeled using a transfer function derived from its mechanical
parameters.

Transfer Function Model


The simplified transfer function of a DC motor (neglecting electrical dynamics) is given by:

G(s) = K / (Js + b)

Where:
- J: Moment of inertia (kg.m^2)
- b: Damping coefficient (N.m.s)
- K: Motor constant (N.m/A)

MATLAB Simulation Code


Define motor parameters and simulate step response without PID:

J = 0.01;
b = 0.1;
K = 0.01;

num = [K];
den = [J b];
motor_tf = tf(num, den);
figure;
step(motor_tf)

Define and apply a PID controller:

Kp = 1;
Ki = 2;
Kd = 0.01;
C = pid(Kp, Ki, Kd);

T = feedback(C * motor_tf, 1);

figure;
step(T)

Analysis and Observations


The simulation demonstrates how a PID controller significantly improves the step response
of a DC motor. Without the controller, the motor responds slowly and may not reach the
desired speed efficiently. With the PID controller, the motor achieves faster rise time,
reduced overshoot, and minimal steady-state error.
Conclusion
This practical simulation shows the importance of PID controllers in real-world applications
like DC motor speed control. Using MATLAB, engineers can easily model, simulate, and tune
controllers to achieve desired performance.
