Speed Control of Separately Excited DC Motor

This paper proposes the speed control of a separately excited dc motor varying armature voltage. The novelty of this paper lies in the application of nonlinear autoregressive-moving average L2 controller for the speed control of SEDM. This paper also discusses speed control of a SEDM using chopper circuit. The performance of the proposed system has been compared with the traditional one using conventional controllers. The entire system has been modeled using MATLAB 7.0 toolbox. It has been found that both PI and hysteresis current controllers could be eliminated by the use of NARMA-L2 controller.
