Nonlinear modeling and control of DC machines: A partial feedback linearization approach

This paper presents the design of a partial feedback linearization controller for speed control of DC machines. The design of the controller is presented based on the nonlinear modeling of the plant. The model of the plant is obtained from differential dynamic equations. A stability analysis is presented to guarantee the stability of the proposed design. To validate the effectiveness of the controller, DC machine systems are simulated. Simulation studies show that the proposed controller provides the accuracy and high performance of DC machines.
