Abstract:

In this study, we describe a technical system for DC motor speed control. The speed of DCmotoris controlled using neural network based model reference and predictive controllers with the use of MATLAB/Simulink. The analysis of the DC motor is done with and without input side Torque disturbance input and the simulation results obtained by comparing the desired and actual speed of the DC motor using random reference and sinusoidal speed inputs for the DC motor with Model Reference and Predictive controllers. The DC motor with Model Reference controller shows almost the actual speed is the same as the desired speed with a good performance than the DC motor with Predictive controller for the system with and without input side disturbance. Finally, the comparative simulation result prove the effectiveness of the DC motor with Model Reference controller.
