Experiences (Control Systems)

Experiences with Practical Control Systems involving Motors, Embedded Systems & Power Electronics

1. Experience at the Control Systems Laboratory (EE380 Lab) of IIT Kanpur (worked for about 2 years):

I worked in the Control System Laboratory at IIT Kanpur as a teaching assistant for undergraduate students for about 2 years. The experiments in this laboratory were developed in-house at IIT Kanpur and primarily focused on DC motor control. These experiments are as follows:

Experiment 1: PMDC motor modeling, identification, and speed control
Experiment 2: Speed of PMDC motor tracks reference sinusoid
Experiment 3: Ziegler-Nichols tuning of speed controller of PMDC motor
Experiment 4: Control of speed using armature current
Experiment 5: Control of armature current
Experiment 6: Disturbance observer
