Abstract
This project developed a mechanism to control the speed of a Separately Excited DC(SEDC) Motor using a Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC), implemented in MATLAB/Simulink. The system was tested under varying load torque disturbances. The scope included deriving the transfer function and state-space model of the SEDC motor, followed by the design of both FLC and Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers. The FLC was designed based on membership functions and a rule base. A comparative analysis of the speed response from both controllers was performed. The simulation results demonstrate that the designed FLC achieves a good dynamic behaviour, perfect speed tracking with less rise and settling time, minimum overshoot, minimum steady-state error, and delivers better overall performance compared to the conventional PID controller.
