whose magnitude is given by F=BIL Newton.

Speed of a motor is given by,

N = V-IaRa (A) =k (V-IaRa/ )
z p
Hence, speed can be controlled by varying
i) Flux/pole  (field control)
ii) Resistance Ra of armature circuit (Rheostat control)
iii) Applied voltage V (Voltage control)

SPEED CONTROL OF SHUNT MOTOR:

Speed of DC shunt motor can be controlled by using the following methods,
i) Armature control method:
This method is used when speeds below the no load speed are required. In this case, the
voltage across the armature is varied in order to control the speed of DC shunt motor.

ii) Field control method:

In this method, the speed above rated speed can be obtained. In this case, the flux of a DC
motor can be changed by changing Ish in order to control the speed of a DC shunt motor.

THEORY:

An electric generator is a machine, which converts mechanical energy in to

electrical energy. The energy conversion is based on the principle of the
production of dynamically induced emf, whenever a conductor cuts the magnetic flux;
dynamically induced emf is produced in it according to Faraday’s laws of
electromagnetic induction. This emf causes a current to flow if the conductor circuit is
closed.

Induced emf direction can be found by Flemings Right hand rule.

THEORY:
The transfer function for DC generator is defined as ratio of Laplace Transform
Of output V1(t) to Laplace Transform of Input Vf(t).
Transfer function = V1(t) / Vf(t)

The KVL to field circuit is

Vf(t) = If(t)Rf + Lf (dIf(t) /dt) ………………… 1

The armature induced emf Ea(t) is

Ea(t)  If(t)
= Kf If(t) ………………… 2
where Kf is proportionality constant
The KVL to armature circuit is given by
Ea(t) = Ia(t) (Ra +RL) +La (dIa /dt) ………………… 3
The load voltage
V1(t) = Ia(t) RL ………………… 4
Ia(t) = IL(t)

Taking Laplace transform for equations 1,2,3 & 4 we get

Vf(s) = If(s) Rf + sLf If(s) ………………… 5
Ea(s) = Kf If(s) ………………… 6
Ea(s) = Ia(s) (Ra +RL) + sLa Ia(s) ………………… 7
V1(s) = Ia(s) RL ………………… 8
From the above equations we get
Ea(s) = Kf Vf(s) / (Rf + sLf ) ………………… 9
From 7 & 9
Kf Vf(s) / (Rf + sLf ) = Ia(s) (Ra +RL) + sLa Ia(s) ………………… 10
From equation 10
Ia(s) = {Kf Vf(s) / (Rf + sLf ) [(Ra +RL) + sLa ]} ………………… 11
V1(s) = {Kf Vf(s) R1 / (Rf + sLf ) [(Ra +RL) + sLa ]}
V1(s) / Vf(s) = {Kf R1 / (Rf + sLf ) [(Ra +RL) + sLa ]}

G(s) = V1(s) / Vf(s) = {Kf R1 / (Rf + sLf ) [(Ra +RL) + sLa ………………… 12
G(s) = V1(s) / Vf(s) = { (Kf RL / Lf La ) / (s + Rf / Lf) (s + (Ra +RL) /La )}
Where Lf / Rf = field time constant, La / Ra = armature time constant
La / (Ra +RL) = total time constant
The above equation is known as the load transfer function of separately excited D.C generator.

PRECAUTIONS: (Not to be included in the Record)

1. Remove the fuse carriers before wiring and Start wiring as per the circuit diagram.

2. Keeping the motor field rheostat in its minimum position, generator field rheostat in
maximum position and the starter in its OFF position, the main supply is switched ON to the
circuit.
3. The motor is started using the 3-point starter by slowly and carefully moving the starter
handle from its OFF to ON position.
4. The motor is brought to its rated speed by adjusting its rheostat and checked with the help of
a tachometer.
5. With the SPST switch open, the residual voltage is noted.
6. Now the SPST switch is closed and the generator field rheostat is gradually decreased in
steps and at each step the field current (If) and the corresponding induced EMF (Eg) are
recorded in the tabular column. This procedure is continued until the generator voltage
reaches 120% of its rated value.
7. After the experiment is completed the various rheostats are brought back to their original
position in sequence and then main supply is switched OFF.

DIGITAL SIMULATION OF LINEAR SYSTEMS

a)Digital Simulation Of First Order Systems

AIM:

To digitally simulate the time response characteristics of a first order system.

APPARATUS REQUIRED:
A PC with MATLAB package
THEORY:
STUDY OF BASIC MATLAB COMMANDS:

The name MATLAB stands for MATRIX LABORATORY. MATLAB was originally written
to provide easy access to matrix software developed by the LINPACK and EISPACK projects.
Today, MATLAB engines incorporate the LAPACK and BLAS libraries, embedding the state of
the art in software for matrix computation. It has evolved over a period of years with input from
many users. In university environments, it is the standard instructional tool for introductory and
advanced courses in MATHEMATICS, ENGINEERING, AND SCIENCE. In industry,
MATLAB is the tool of choice for high-productivity research, development, and analysis.

MATLAB is a high-performance language for technical computing. It integrates computation,

visualization, and programming in an easy-to-use environment where problems and solutions are
expressed in familiar mathematical notation. Typical uses include,
▪ Math and computation
▪ Algorithm development
▪ Data acquisition Modeling, simulation, and prototyping
▪ Data analysis, exploration, and visualization
▪ Scientific and engineering graphics
▪ Application development, including graphical user interface building
It is an interactive system whose basic data element is an array that does not require
dimensioning. This allows you to solve many technical computing problems, especially those
with matrix and vector formulations, in a fraction of the time it would take to write a program in
a scalar non-interactive language such as C or Fortran. It also features a family of add-on
application-specific solutions called toolboxes. Very important to most users of MATLAB,
toolboxes allow you to learn and apply specialized technology. Toolboxes are comprehensive
collections of MATLAB functions (M-files) that extend the MATLAB environment to solve
particular classes of problems. Areas in which toolboxes are available include SIGNAL
PROCESSING, CONTROL SYSTEMS, NEURAL NETWORKS, FUZZY LOGIC,
WAVELETS, SIMULATION, AND MANY OTHERS.
Some practical examples of first order systems are RL and RC circuits.

B)Digital Simulation Of Second Order Systems

Aim:

To digitally simulate the time response characteristics of second -order system

APPARATUS REQUIRED:
A PC with MATLAB package
THEORY:
STUDY OF BASIC MATLAB COMMANDS:
The name MATLAB stands for MATRIX LABORATORY. MATLAB was originally written
to provide easy access to matrix software developed by the LINPACK and EISPACK projects.
Today, MATLAB engines incorporate the LAPACK and BLAS libraries, embedding the state of
the art in software for matrix computation. It has evolved over a period of years with input from
many users. In university environments, it is the standard instructional tool for introductory and
advanced courses in MATHEMATICS, ENGINEERING, AND SCIENCE. In industry,
MATLAB is the tool of choice for high-productivity research, development, and analysis.
MATLAB is a high-performance language for technical computing. It integrates computation,
visualization, and programming in an easy-to-use environment where problems and solutions are
expressed in familiar mathematical notation. Typical uses include,

▪ Math and computation

▪ Algorithm development
▪ Data acquisition Modeling, simulation, and prototyping
▪ Data analysis, exploration, and visualization
▪ Scientific and engineering graphics
▪ Application development, including graphical user interface building

It is an interactive system whose basic data element is an array that does not require
dimensioning. This allows you to solve many technical computing problems, especially those
with matrix and vector formulations, in a fraction of the time it would take to write a program in
a scalar non-interactive language such as C or Fortran. It also features a family of add-on
application-specific solutions called toolboxes. Very important to most users of MATLAB,
toolboxes allow you to learn and apply specialized technology. Toolboxes are comprehensive
collections of MATLAB functions (M-files) that extend the MATLAB environment to solve
particular classes of problems. Areas in which toolboxes are available include SIGNAL
PROCESSING, CONTROL SYSTEMS, NEURAL NETWORKS, FUZZY LOGIC,
WAVELETS, SIMULATION, AND MANY OTHERS.

STUDY OF D.C MOTOR STARTERS
AIM:
To study the different kinds of D.C motor starters

EQUIPMENT AND APPARATUS REQUIRED :

Sl No. Name of the apparatus Quantity

1 Two Point starter 1
2 Three Point starter 1
3 Four Point starter 1

THEORY :
The value of the armature current in a D.C shunt motor is given by
Ia = ( V – Eb )/ Ra
Where V = applied voltage.
Ra = armature resistance.
E b = Back .e.m.f .
In practice the value of the armature resistance is of the order of 1 ohms and at the instant of
starting the value of the back e.m.f is zero volts. Therefore under starting conditions the value of
the armature current is very high. This high inrush current at the time of starting may damage the
motor. To protect the motor from such dangerous current the D.C motors are always started
using starters.
The types of D.C motor starters are
i) Two point starters
ii) Three point starters
iii) Four point starters.
The functions of the starters are
i) It protects the from dangerous high speed.
ii) It protects the motor from overloads.

i) TWO POINT STARTERS: ( refer fig 1)

It is used for starting D.C. series motors which has the problem of over speeding due to the loss
of load from its shaft. Here for starting the motor the control arm is moved in clock-wise
direction from its OFF position to the ON position against the spring tension. The control arm is
held in the ON position by the electromagnet E. The exciting coil of the hold-on electromagnet
E is connected in series with the armature circuit. If the motor loses its load, current decreases
and hence the strength of the electromagnet also decreases. The control arm returns to the OFF
position due to the spring tension, Thus preventing the motor from over speeding. The starter
also returns to the OFF position

 www.vidyarthiplus.com

when the supply voltage decreases appreciably. L and F are the two points of the starter which
are connected with the motor terminals.

66
www.vidyarthiplus.com
 www.vidyarthiplus.com

ii) THREE POINT STARTER: ( refer fig 2 )

It is used for starting the shunt or compound motor. The coil of the hold on electromagnet
E is connected in series with the shunt field coil. In the case of disconnection in the field circuit
the control arm will return to its OFF position due to spring tension. This is necessary because
the shunt motor will over speed if it loses excitation. The starter also returns to the OFF position
in case of low voltage supply or complete failure of the supply. This protection is therefore is
called No Volt Release
( NVR).
Over load protection:
When the motor is over loaded it draws a heavy current. This heavy current also flows
through the exciting coil of the over load electromagnet ( OLR). The electromagnet then pulls
an iron piece upwar6.ds which short circuits the coils of the NVR coil. The hold on magnet gets
de-energized and therefore the starter arm returns to the OFF position, thus protecting the motor
against overload. L, A and F are the three terminals of the three point starter.

iii) FOUR POINT STARTER:

The connection diagram of the four point starter is shown in fig 3. In a four point starter
arm touches the starting resistance, the current from the supply is divided into three paths. One
through the starting resistance and the armature, one through the field circuit, and one through
the NVR coil. A protective resistance is connected in series with the NVR coil. Since in a four
point starter the NVR coil is independent of the of the field ckt connection , the d.c motor may
over speed if there is a break in the field circuit. A D.C motor can be stopped by opening the
main switch. The steps of the starting resistance are so designed that the armature current will
remain within the certain limits and will not change the torque developed by the motor to a great
extent.

STUDY OF INDUCTION MOTOR STARTERS
AUTO –TRANSFORMER STARTING

An auto transformer starter consists of an auto transformer and a switch as shown in the
fig. When the switch S is put on START position, a reduced voltage is applied across the motor
terminals. When the motor picks up speed, say to 80 per cent of its mornal speed, the switch is
put to RUN position. Then the auto-transformer is cut out of the circuit and full rated voltage
gets applied across the motor terminals.
(Ref. To text book for fig)
The circuit dia in the fig is for a manual auto-transformer starter. This can be made push button
operated automatic controlled starter so that the contacts switch over from start to run position as
the motor speed picks up to 80% of its speed. Over-load protection relay has not been shown in
the figure. The switch S is air-break type for small motors and oil break type for large motors.
Auto transformer may have more than one tapping to enable the user select any suitable starting
voltage depending upon the conditions.
Series resistors or reactors can be used to cause voltage drop in them and thereby allow low
voltage to be applied across the motor terminals at starting. These are cut out of the circuit as the
motor picks up speed.

STAR- DELTA METHOD OF STARTING:

The startor phase windings are first connected in star and full voltage is connected across its free
terminals. As the motor picks up speed, the windings are disconnected through a switch and they
are reconnected in delta across the supply terminals. The current drawn by the motor from the
lines is reduced to as compared to the current it would have drawn if connected in delta.The
motor windings, first in star and then in delta the line current drawn by the motor at starting is
reduced to one third as compared to starting current with the windings delta-connected.
In making connections for star-delta starting, care should be taken such that sequence of supply
connections to the winding terminals does not change while changing from star connection to
delta connection. Otherwise the motor will start rotating in the opposite direction, when
connections are changed from star to delta. Star-delta starters are available for manual operation
using push button control. An automatic star – delta starter used time delay relays(T.D.R)
through which star to delta connections take place automatically with some pre-fixed time delay.
The delay time of the T.D.R is fixed keeping in view the starting time of the motor.

FULL VOLTAGE OR DIRECT –ON-LINE STARTING

When full voltage is connected across the stator terminals of an induction motor, large
current is drawn by the windings. This is because, at starting the induction motor

71
www.vidyarthiplus.com
 www.vidyarthiplus.com

behaves as a short circuited transformer with its secondary, i.e. the rotor separated from the
primary, i.e. the stator by a small air-gap.
At starting when the rotor is at standstill, emf is induced in the rotor circuit exactly
similar to the emf induced in the secondary winding of a transformer. This induced emf of the
rotor will circulate a very large current through its windings. The primary will draw very large
current from the supply mains to balance the rotor ampere-turns. To limit the stator and rotor
currents at starting to a safe value, it may be necessary to reduce the stator supply voltage to a
low value. If induction motors are started direct-on-line such a heavy starting current of short
duration may not cause harm to the motor since the construction of induction motors are rugged.
Other motors and equipment connected to the supply lines will receive reduced voltage. In
industrial installations, however, if a number of large motors are started by this method, the
voltage drop will be very high and may be really objectionable for the other types of loads
connected to the system. The amount of voltage drop will not only be dependent on the size of
the motor but also on factors like the capacity of the power supply system, the size and length of
the line leading to the motors etc. Indian Electricity Rule restricts direct on line starting of 3
phase induction motors above 5 hp.

RESULT:

Thus the construction and working of different starters for starting D.C series, shunt,
compound and three phase induction motors are studied.

STUDY THE EFFECT OF P, PI, PID CONTROLLERS USING MAT LAB

Aim:
To Study the effect of P, PI, PID controllers using Mat lab.

1 Choice of the Controller type

In so far were described proportional, integrative and derivative modes of the controllers
and a rational behind their use was explained. However, excerpt for a few tips, an attention was
not given to a question when to use different types of controllers. The rest of this section will
give some answers on that particular topic.

1.1 On-off Controller

On-off controller is the simplest controller and it has some important advantages. It is
economical, simple to design and it does not require any parameter tuning. If oscillations will
hamper the operation of the system and if controller parameter tuning is to be avoided, on-off
controller is a good solution. In addition, if actuators work in only two modes (on and off), then
it is almost always only controller that can be used with such actuators. That is a reason why on-
off controllers are often used in home appliances (refrigerators, washers etc.) and in process
industry when control quality requirements are not high (temperature control in buildings etc.).
Additional advantage of on-off controllers is that they in general do not require any maintenance.

1.2 P Controller
When P controller is used, large gain is needed to improve steady state error. Stable
system do not have a problems when large gain is used. Such systems are systems with one
energy storage (1st order capacitive systems). If constant steady state error can be accepted with
such processes, than P controller can be used. Small steady state errors can be accepted if sensor
will give measured value with error or if importance of measured value is not too great anyway.
Example of such system is liquid level control in tanks when exact approximate level of liquid
suffice for the proper plant operation. Also, in cascade control sometime it is not important if
there is an error inside inner loop, so P controller can a good solution in such cases.
Derivative mode is not required if the process itself is fast or if the control system as
whole does not have to be fast in response. Processes of 1st order react immediately on the
reference signal change, so it is not necessary to predict error (introduce D mode) or compensate
for the steady state error (introduce I mode) if it is possible to achieve satisfactory steady state
error using only P controller.

1.3 PD controller
It is well known that thermal processes with good thermal insulation act almost as
integrators. Since insulation is good and thermal losses are small, the most significant art of the
energy that is led to the system is used temperature rise. Those processes allow 18 for large gains
so that integral mode in the controller is not needed. These processes can be described as
different connections of thermal energy storages. Thermal energy is shifted from one storage into
another. In general, with such processes there is present a process dynamics with large inertia.

73
www.vidyarthiplus.com
 www.vidyarthiplus.com

Since dynamics is slow, derivative mode is required for control of such processes. Integral mode
would only already slow dynamics make more slowly. The other reason for using PPD
controllers in such systems is that is possible to measure temperature with low level of noise in
the measured signal.
PD controller is often used in control of moving objects such are flying and underwater
vehicles, ships, rockets etc. One of the reason is in stabilizing effect of PD controller on sudden
changes in heading variable y(t). Often a "rate gyro" for velocity measurement is used as sensor
of heading change of moving object.

1.3 PI controller
PI controllers are the most often type used today in industry. A control without D mode is
used when:
a) fast response of the system is not required
b) large disturbances and noise are present during operation of the process
c) there is only one energy storage in process (capacitive or inductive)
d) there are large transport delays in the system
If there are large transport delays present in the controlled process, error prediction is
required. However, D mode cannot be used for prediction because every information is delayed
till the moment when a change in controlled variable is recorded. In such cases it is better to
predict the output signal using mathematical model of the process in broader sense (process +
actuator). The controller structures that can be used are, for example, Otto-Smith predictor
(controller), PIP controller or so called Internal Model Controller (IMC).

An interesting feature of IMC is that when the model of the process is precise
(A = AM and B = BM), then a feedback signal eM = y – yM is equal to disturbance:

It follows that a control signal is not influenced by the reference signal and control
systems behaves as open loop. A usual problems with stability that arrise when closed loop
systems are used are then avoided. Control system with IMC controller will be stable and if IMC
and process are stable. With the exact model of process IMC is actually a feedforward controller
and can designed as such, but, unlike feedforward controllers, it can compensate for unmeasured
disturbances because feedback signal is equal to disturbance, which allows suitable tuning of the
reference value of the controller.

If model of the process is not exact5 (AM = A, BM =B), then feedback signal eM will
contain not only disturbance d but a modeling error, also. Thus, a feedback will
have its usual role, and stability problem can arise. This requires for parameters6 to be tuned
again so the stability is not lost.

1.4 PID controller

Derivative mode improves stability of the system and enables increase in gain K and
decrease in integral time constant Ti, which increases speed of the controller response. PID
controller is used when dealing with higher order capacitive processes (processes with more than
one energy storage) when their dynamic is not similar to the dynamics of an integrator (like in
many thermal processes). PID controller is often used in industry, but also in the control of
mobile objects (course and trajectory following included) when stability and precise reference
following are required. Conventional autopilot are for the most part PID type controllers.

1.5 Topology of PID controllers

Problem of topology (structure) of controller arises when:
• designing control system (defining structure and controller parameters)
• tuning parameters of the given controller

There are a number of different PID controller structures. Different manufacturers design
controllers in different manner. However, two topologies are the most often case:
• parallel (non-interactive)
• serial (interactive)

75
www.vidyarthiplus.com
 www.vidyarthiplus.com

Parallel structure is most often in textbooks, so it is often called "ideal" or "textbook

type". This non-interactive structure because proportional, integral and derivative mode are
independent on each other. Parallel structure is still very rare in the market. The reason for that is
mostly historical. First controllers were pneumatic and it was very difficult to build parallel
structure using pneumatic components. Due to certain conservatism in process industry most of
the controller used there are still in serial structure, although it is relatively simple to realize
parallel structure controller using electronics. In other areas, where tradition is not so strong,
parallel structure can be found more often.

1.5.1 Parallel PID topology

A parallel connection of proportional, derivative and integral element is called parallel or non-
interactive structure of PID controller. Parallel structure is shown in Fig.

It can be seen that P, I and D channels react on the error signal and that they are unbundled. This
is basic structure of PID controller most often found in textbooks. There are other non-interactive
structures.

RESULT:

Thus the effect of P, PI, PID controllers using Mat lab are studied.

DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF COMPENSATORS
AIM:
To study the compensation of the second order process by using lead – Lag Compensator

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:
1. LEAD – Lag network system kit
2. Capacitors – 0.1μF
3. Decade Resistance Box
4. CRO

DESIGN:

Lead – Lag network using operational amplifier:

An electronic lead –lag network using operational Amplifier is shown in Fig. 4.1.

The transfer function for this circuit can be obtained as follows:

Let

Z1 = R1 || C1

Z2 = R2 || C2

The second op-amp acts as a sign inverter with a variable gain to compensate for the magnitude.
The transfer function of the entire system is given by G(j).

R 4 R 2 (1  R1C1 s)
G(s) 

TABULATION:

We have
R2 R4 (1  T12  2 )
G( j ) 
R1 R3 (1  T22 2 )

Where
T1 = R1C1
T2 = R2C2 and

Thus the steady state output is

R2 R4 (1 T12 2 )
Yss (t )  Sin(t  tan 1 T1  tan 1 T2 ) for an input Esint.
R1 R3 (1  T  )

2 2

From this expression, we find that if T1>T2, then tan 1 T1  tan 1 T2 >0. Thus if T1>T2, then the
network is a lead network. If T1 <T2, the network is a lag network.

Determination of values for angle compensation:

Frequency of sine wave (f)= 20Hz.

Phase angle to be compensated =14.50

78

  tan 1 (2fT1 )  tan 1 (2fT2 )

Let T1  0.1sec
14.5  tan 1 (2 * 20 * 0.1)  tan 1 (2 * 20 * T2 )
T2  0.023sec

Hence the values of T1 and T2 are chosen from which the values of R1, R2, C1, and C2 can be
determined. For Example,
T1 = R1C1 = 0.1;
If C1 = 0.1μF, R1=1MΩ
T2 = 0.023sec
If C2 = 0.1 μF, R2 =230KΩ.

These values produce a phase lead of 14.5o, which is the desired compensation angle.

PROCEDURE:
1. Switch ON the power to the instrument.
2. Connect the individual blocks using patch chords bypassing the compensating
network and gain as shown in fig. 4.2.
3. Give a sinusoidal input as the set value to the error detector.
4. Measure the amplitude and frequency of the input signal.
5. Measure the amplitude and phase difference of the output signal with respect to the
input signal using DSO.
6. Using the technique explained previously, calculate the values of R 1, R2, C2, and C1
to compensate for the phase shift of the output signal.
7. Connects the components at the points provided.
8. Now include the compensation block in the forward path before the process using
patch chords as shown in fig.4.2.
9. Observe the compensated wave form through DSO.
