Optimal speed control of DC motor using linear quadratic regulator and model predictive control

The objective of this paper is to control the angular speed in a model of a DC motor using different control strategies like Model Predictive Control and Linear Quadratic Regulator for comparison purpose. Model Predictive Control approach provides online & offline computation of the optimization law by Multi Parametric Quadratic Programming. The controllers are designed based on the optimal control theory. Performance of these controllers has been verified through simulation results using MATLAB/SIMULINK software.
