CONTROL OF DC MOTOR USING DIFFERENT CONTROL STRATEGIES

A simple model of a DC motor driving an inertial load has the angular rate of the load, ω, as the output and applied voltage, νapp, as the input. The ultimate goal of this paper is to control the angular rate by varying the applied voltage using different control strategies for comparison purpose. The comparision is made between the proptional controller, integral controller, propotional and integral controller, phase lag compensator, derivitive controller, lead integral compensator, lead lag compensator, PID controller and the the linear quadratic tracker design based on the optimal control theory.
