Comparative Study of PID and Fuzzy Controllers for Speed Control of DC Motor

Osama Omer Adam Mohammed, Dr. Awadalla Taifor Ali

this paper presents two efficient methods for speed control of a separately excited D.C motor using PID control and fuzzy logic control. The motor was modelled and converted to a subsystem in SIMULINK. The simulation development of the PID controller with the mathematical model of DC motor is done using Ziegler- Nichols method and trial and error method. The PID parameter is tested with MATLAB/SIMULINK program. (FLC) the fuzzy logic controller is designed according to fuzzy rules so that the systems are fundamentally robust. There are 25 fuzzy rules. The FLC has two inputs. One is the motor speed error between the reference and actual speed and the second is change in speed error (speed error derivative).For comparison purpose, PID and Fuzzy controllers have been tested using MATLAB/SIMULINK program for speed under load and no load conditions. The result shows that the Fuzzy controller is the best controller than PID controller. In addition fuzzy logic controller Demonstrates good performance, faster design and work well for high-order and nonlinear and shows the efficiency over the PID controller.
