Simulation and Control with 2-DOF PI Controller of Permanent Magnet DC Motors for Solar Energy Systems

Permanent Magnet Direct Current (PMDC) Motors are advanced electric machines used in speed control applications and where position control is important. Therefore, there are many applications on the simulation and control of these machines. Solar energy systems are a widely used today and is a renewable energy source that will increase its use in the future. In this study, the PMDC motor for solar energy systems is simulated based on detailed mathematical equations and the system is controlled by using two degree of freedom PI (2-DOF PI) controller circuit. Simulation studies were performed in MATLAB / Simulink environment
