Performance Comparison of PID and LQR Control for DC Motor Speed Regulation

Abstract

The aim of this research paper is to provide a comprehensive performance comparison of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) and linear quadratic regulator (LQR) control methods for DC motor speed regulation. First, a mathematical description of a permanent magnet DC motor model is offered, followed by the control systems PID and LQR, and finally, findings and discussions of whether the use of both control strategies is advantageous for DC. The results demonstrate how well LQR performs under various operating situations when compared to PID control. Engineers and researchers looking to optimize control system design for DC motor speed regulation may benefit a lot from the results of this study.
