Experiment-1 Speed Control of DC Motor Using Matlab Simulink

This document discusses speed control methods for DC motors using Matlab Simulink. It describes three common speed control methods: field resistance control, armature voltage control, and armature resistance control. For field resistance control, a series resistance is inserted in the field circuit to vary the motor's flux and speed. For armature voltage control, the voltage applied to the armature is varied independently of the field voltage using a separately excited motor configuration. Armature resistance control inserts external resistance in the armature circuit. The document presents Simulink models implementing these control methods and simulations to analyze their effects on motor speed under varying load torque conditions.

Theory:-

The speed of a DC motor can be varied by controlling the field flux, the armature
resistance or the terminal voltage applied to the armature circuit. The three most
common speed control methods are field resistance control, armature voltage control
and armature resistance control.

1) Field Resistance Control


In this, a series resistance is inserted in the shunt field circuit of the
motor in order to change the flux by controlling the field current. It is
theoretically expected that an increase in the field resistance will result in an
increase in the no-load speed of the motor and in slope of the torque-speed
curve. As shown in fig. a DC motor of 5HP, 240v, 1220rpm is used. The DC
motor block implements a separately excited DC motor. An access is provided
to the field connections, so that motor model can be used as a shunt connected.
The load torque (TL) is specified.
The load torque is specified by the input port TL. The electrical and
mechanical parameters of the motor could be specified using its dialog box.
Observe that 240 V DC source is applied to the armature and field circuits. An
external resistance Rf1 is inserted in series with the field circuit to realize the
field resistance speed control. The output port (port m) allows for the
measurement of several variables, such as rotor speed, armature and field
currents, and electromechanical torque developed by the motor. Through the
scope and display block, the waveform and steady-state value of the rotor
speed can be easily measured in radian per second (rad/s), or the corresponding
data can be written to MATLAB/workspace using the data box to make use of
other graphical tools available in MATLAB

2) Armature Voltage Control


In this method, the voltage applied to the armature circuit, V r is varied
without changing the voltage applied to the field circuit of the motor.
Therefore, the motor most be separately excited to use armature voltage
control. When the armature Voltage is increased, the no load speed of the
motor increases while the slope of the torque-speed curve remains unchanged

since the flux is kept constant. Figure shows that the Simulink realizations of

the armature voltage speed control method.The main difference is that the
armature and field circuit are supplied from two different DC sources to have a
separately excited connection.

3) Armature Resistance Control


This method is less commonly used for speed control in which an external
resistance is inserted in series with the armature circuit. An increase in the
armature resistance results in a significant increase in the slope of the torque-
speed char of the motor while the no-load speed remains constant.
