Control_Project

The project's aim is to practice compensation and controller design and also develop problem solving skills by modeling of real-life electromechanical system.

Skills Learned

• Using MATLAB commands to simulate Control Blocks and execute algorithms and operations on the data

• Using SIMULINK to design controller by using available tools as PID Tuner

Problems Encountered and Solved

• Using SIMULINK to develop PD Controller with a predetermined lead compensator can't be achieved so, we had to find another way.

Problem with PID Tuner in SIMULINK

• So, we had to find another way which is to use a PI Controller to use the PID Tuner normally and add a block equivalent to $\frac{s}{s + 1000}$ The term (s + 1000) is the lead compensator given. The term s is to remove the effect of the s in integrator denominator while keeping the Numerator as it is. We then swapped in our Matlab Code K_p for K_d as it was multiplied by s and K_I became K_p

Compensator Block is selected. The PI block is also on the left which parameters were tuned and the block on the right is the system
