Speed Control of DC Motor with Kalman Filter and Fractional Order PID Controller

In the industry for better control action, we have a requirement of an exemplary controller along with all the measurable and unmeasurable states. In this paper, Fractional order PID (FOPID) controller with Kalman Filter (KF) is proposed for speed control of DC motor. FOPID is more flexible and robust than the PID controller and KF is a perfect state estimator to estimate all the states. Implementation of the proposed sensorless model is carried out in MATLAB/Simulink environment. In simulation performance of with and without KF, it shows FOPID with KF has better performance than without KF.
