Project Title:
DC Motor Modelling & Speed Control Simulation Using MATLAB
Brief Description:
In this project we will make a model of simple DC motor. First, A DC motor is any of a
class of rotary electrical machines that converts direct current electrical energy into mechanical energy. The
most common types rely on the forces produced by magnetic fields. Then we will make a circuitry diagram of a
DC motor on a Simulink workspace. After doing that we’ll apply different values of voltages & currents
according the Data Sheet of a DC Motor. Then DC motor circuit will be in running condition according to its
data sheet.

We’ll also control the speed of a DC motor & we’ll use SCOPE from the Simulink library to show the graphical
representation of Dc motor voltages, current or its speed. It will be three curves on the graph showing the wave-
form behavior of DC motor. We will use two methods to control the speed of DC motor, which are following
 Voltage
 Variable resistance in series with Armature

By varying the values of applying voltages we can control the speed of a DC motor. Which is the simplest way
to understand the phenomenon of DC motor. And another good method is using variable resistance in series
with armature of a DC motor.

Project done before? If yes, the innovations/development is existing project:

yes, we made many projects in our previous semesters according to their related subjects. We made projects
like:
 Dc power supply
 Mobile controlled Robotic vehicle
 RGB color sensor
 CNC machine
But we didn’t get a chance to make new developments in them. Now we will make sure we will plan to
innovate our projects in this semester or in upcoming semesters.
