IJIRST International Journal for Innovative Research in Science & Technology Volume 1 Issue 12 May 2015 ISSN (online): 2349-6010 Buck Converter Based Starter and Speed Controller for a DC Motor using PID Controller Jayanthi. V Sowmithra. R. V Sathish Kumar Abstract DC motor widely used-high precision digital controls. Speed control of dc motor is achieved with smooth starter by using buck converter. Hard switching causes unsatisfactory dynamic behavior produces abrupt variations in the V & I of the motor overcome by dc-dc buck power converter by PID controller. A separately excited dc motor is used for this simulation. The PI control method is used in which the settling time is reduced. The proposed system with PID control is used as outer voltage control loop. Dc-dc buck converter is mainly used for regulate the desired output voltage level and maintain DC motor speed as constant. Any change in torque does not affect the speed of the motor. Step less velocity and smoothness in armature voltage control with PWM technique is used.

INTRODUCTION DC motors are widely used in systems with high precision control requirements. Thus, rolling mills, double-hulled tankers, and high precision digital tools can be mentioned as examples of such systems. Generally, to control the step less velocity and smoothness, adjustment of the armature voltage of the motor is used while, certainly, applying PWM signals with respect to the motor input voltage is one of the methods most employed to drive a DC motor. However, the underlying hard switching strategy causes an unsatisfactory dynamic behavior, producing abrupt variations in the voltage and current of the motor. Power converters, which allow the smooth start of a DC motor by applying the required voltage. II. DRIVE SYSTEM DC-DC Buck power converter DC motor system is designed with the purpose of carrying out the angular velocity v trajectory tracking task for the DC/DC Buck power converter DC motor system, which is shown in Figure 1.when considering hardware design.

THEORY OF OPERATION Fig. 2: Buck Converter Circuit Diagram Fig. 3: Two Circuit Configurations of a Buck Power Converter On-state, when the switch is closed, and Off-state, when the switch is open (Arrows indicate current according to the conventional current model). Fig. 4: Voltages and Current of the Buck Converter. Fig. 5: Evolution of the Voltages and Currents with Time in an Ideal Buck Converter Operating In Continuous Mode. The basic operation of the buck converter has the current in an inductor controlled by two switches (usually a transistor and a diode). In the idealized converter, all the components are considered to be perfect. Specifically, the switch and the diode have zero voltage drop when on and zero current flow when off and the inductor has zero series resistance. Further, it is assumed that the input and output voltages do not change over the course of a cycle. All rights reserved by www.ijirst.org 355

ADVANTAGES 1) Buck Converter designed for all the load varying conditions, supply varying conditions, set voltage variations. 2) Efficient under closed loop conditions. 3) No risk of field voltage control and armature current control. 4) During input supply voltage varying conditions buck converter manages the following problems The input supply of EB cannot be a constant value. If the panel temperature increases means that can affect the output voltage of the system. The output power of a wind mill depends on input wind velocity and strength of the wind. 5) Output load varying conditions The design of output voltage depends on the load. Whatever may be the change in input supply voltage and output load conditions buck converter maintains the input voltage and current as per the application requirement. And control the speed of the DC Motor by closed loop control drive system. An efficient control to find the error signal for getting accuracy. Desired parameter can be obtained based on the error signal calculated. All rights reserved by www.ijirst.org 357
VI. CONCLUSION Any changes in the input voltage the output voltage of buck power converter is designed and as well as motor input current also reduced. According to the experimental results the main purpose of this paper was successfully achieved. The obtained results have shown that any variation in speed and torque the voltage cannot be varied. The performance evaluation can be done based on the comparison between conventional and proposed simulation results. The peak overshoot can be minimized by proposed system (PID). The peak overshoot in proposed PID system can be minimized 45.45% when compared to conventional PI system. So that oscillation in speed can be limited. It is important to underline that these types of abrupt variations do not happen in practice at the same time, or such large variations regarding their nominal values. So that any change in supply voltage, torque variations or load changes buck power converter can limit the input voltage current and speed control is also possible by proposed simulink system.
