Abstract

DC motor is a vital component in most of the process control industries. PID controllers are extensively used in DC motors for speed as well as position control. Tuning of PID controller parameters is an iterative process and needs complete optimization to achieve the desired performance. Genetic algorithm (GA) which is a well established tool for optimization has been used to extract PID controller parameters for the velocity control of the DC motor. Different error models are used for evaluating the fitness function. Velocity control is demonstrated using MATLAB/SIMULINK modeling.
