Adaptive Controller Design for DC Drive System Using Gradient Technique

Adaptive control systems have been studied for many years. There are many types of adaptive control algorithms, one of which is the reference model technique. In this paper, the work has been devoted for the use of model reference adaptive control system (M RAC). The M RAC algorithm with parameters adaptation was developed and applied for control of the DC motor drive. The algorithm is based on the gradient technique with parameter adaptation. The controller can significantly improve system behavior and force the system to follow the reference model and minimize the error between the model and plant output.
