Modelling and Simulation of Adaptive Fuzzy-PID Controller for Speed Control of DC Motor

Abstract

DC motors have long been use as a primary means of electrical traction. It has find wide area of applications ranging from industrial applications to basic home appliances. In most recent DC motor applications, there is need for precise speed control to give the desired performance. Thus, this paper presents a method for speed control of DC motor using adaptive fuzzy-PID controller algorithm. An adaptive fuzzy-PID controller was modelled and simulated using MATLAB control toolbox. The performance of the proposed model was measured using parameters such as rise time, peak overshoot, and settling time. Obtained results show the advantage of a combined fuzzy-PID over classical PI, PD, and PID controller.
