Dynamic electronic model for a DC motor - Simulation and experimental validation

Abstract

Modelling of a real system using different approaches is wide spread in the research and academic communities. There are many studies in literature that treats different ways of simulating systems more or less complex. In this paper, we developed a different approach for modelling a separate excitation DC motor. The proposed article is focused on finding a suitable model that represents the dynamic regime of such motors.Our approach uses an electronic implementation of the mathematical model of the DC motor. A special attention was given to the experimental determination of the mechanical parameters. By this approach the beneficiaries of this system, which will be engineering students, can have a better understanding on how the electronic circuits could be used to simulate a real system. Also our approach could serve for implementing remote laboratories for systems modelling-simulation for electrical engineering studies.
