Self-tuning speed control of permanent magnet DC motor

In this study, speed control problem of a permanent magnet DC motor considered in the existence of disturbance and unknown plant parameters. Self-tuning adaptive control technique is used to solve the problem. Firstly, an ARX model of the plant is considered with recursive identification of its parameters then the parameters and predefined performance criteria is combined to design an adaptive controller. The effectiveness of the control method is tested via simulations.
