Abstract

Due to its excellent speed control characteristics, the DC motor has been widely used in industry even though its maintenance costs are higher than the induction motor. As a result, speed control of DC motor has attracted considerable research and several methods have evolved. PID controllers have been widely used for speed control of DC motor. In this paper the using Artificial Bees Colony (ABC) optimization algorithm for regulation parameters of PID controller of DC motors. The aim of the proposed method is to improve tracking performance of DC motor. At the end of the study, ABC algorithm showed better performance than the other population based optimization algorithm.
