PID-based DC motor speed control system developed using MATLAB, Simulink, and App Designer. Features electromechanical modeling, closed-loop control, load torque analysis, and interactive GUI for real-time speed and current visualization.
This project presents the design and implementation of a closed-loop DC motor speed control system using MATLAB and Simulink. A PID controller is used to regulate motor speed while ensuring stability, fast response, and minimal steady-state error. The system also includes load disturbance analysis and a user-friendly GUI developed using MATLAB App Designer.
