Final year project Analysis and simulation of a converter fed dc motor drive by using MATLAB
Introduction • Converter-fed dc motor drives are extensively used in special heavy duty application • The ac-dc converters also known as controlled rectifiers are generally used for the speed control of dc motors • The speed of dc motors changes due to the changes of load torque • When the torque is increased, the speed of the motor is decreases due to the voltage drop in the armature resistance • To maintain the constant speed of the motor, the armature voltage should be varied continuously by varying the alpha angle of a ac-dc converters. • Thus, the controller must be added to control the alpha angle
Objectives • To develop the transfer function of the dc motor with and without feedback • To design controller with a speed feedback (closed loop feedback) using PI controller and simulate the drive under different loading and reference speed. • To conduct experiments to verify results with the simulated responses.
Methodology • Literature Survey – References from library and IEEE website • - Through guidance from lecturers • Simulation – Using MATLAB M-file and SimPowerSystems

Project Research • Using Matlab M-File • Design requirement with 1 rad/sec step reference, settling time less than 3 sec and steady-state error less than 2 %. • Using Simulink (Simpowersystem) • Block diagram of dc motor drive with and without feedback with 100 rad/sec speed reference. • Simulation of converter fed dc motor under different loading and speed references.
MOTOR RATINGS FOR SIMULATION USING M-FILE AND BLOCK DIAGRAM TRANSFER FUNCTION 240 V, 8.3 A, 60 Hz, 5hp Control input voltage = ±10V Maximum current permitted in the motor is 20A. Moment of Inertia (J) = 0.0607 (kg-m2) Machine frictional torque coefficient (Bt) = 0.0869 (N.m/rad/sec) Armature resistance (Ra) = 4 Ω Armature Inductance (La) = 0.072 H Kb = 1.26 V/rad/sec
Simulation Using M-File • Open loop transfer function of dc motor Settling time>3 sec Speed<1rad/sec
Proportional Integral (PI) Controller with Kp=100 and Ki=150 Settling time<3sec Speed=1 rad/sec
Simulation using Simulink • Block diagram without feedback • Block diagram of speed controller dc motor drive
Simulation results • Without feedback Settling time>3sec Speed>100 rad/sec
With feedback (speed and current controller) Settling time<3 sec Speed= 100rad/sec
Simulation using SimPowerSystems • Without feedback
Results • Constant speed and torque with Kp=2 and Ki=20
Step speed reference with changing load torque (kp=2 and ki=20)
Comparison results of using different value of Kp and ki. Good controller
Experimental results The speed with and without load when using PI controller
Conclusion • A Proportional plus Integral (PI) controller is design to reduce the system errors and improve the dynamics responses. • The constant KP and KI in PI controller can be changed to meet the acceptable performance. • This project compares a various study in designing the converter-fed dc motor drive with and without system feedback and simulates drive under different loading and speed references. • By increasing the constant KP and KI tends to reduce the systems errors and improve the overshoot and settling time. However, large KP and KI will worsen the transients’ stability. • A good controller will change back the motor speed to the normal value due to the change of load torque. The proposed converter is designed and tested in the lab using the separately excited dc motor. • The experimental results are shown to be in good agreement with the simulated results.
Future Research • More extensive follow-up studies can be done so that the proposed approach is always up-to-date. • Further fine tuning of the speed controller. Example, design the Proportional Integral and Derivative (PID) controller in order to enhance and improved the transients stability. The automatic tuning is also can be done by using the Non-linear Control Design (NCD) in Simulink Blockset. • Further research in designing the four quadrant three phase rectifier in SimPowerSystems simulation.
