This paper provides different aspects of speed control of DC drive. Different control schemes of DC motor with proper explanation has been provided. Multi-pulse converter and firing angle control scheme has been discussed. Simulation results have been provided for the speed control aspect. It is possible to measure the speed of the motor with a tachometer or incremental encoder. These tachometers and incremental encoders produce erroneous results as a result of a variety of factors. the authors provide a strategy for compensating against imperfections in incremental encoders. In this paper, a study of several speed control systems for direct current motors is discussed in detail. This paper discusses many strategies for controlling the speed of a DC motor, including various speed control schemes. This study discusses and simulates multi-pulse converter-based DC motor speed control. The results of the simulation reveal that the motor can be controlled accurately in terms of speed. The speed of the motor can be measured with a tachometer or incremental encoder.
