Genetic Algorithm based Controller Design for Cane Carrier of Sugar Factory

Abstract

The cane carrier system plays a significant role in production of promising quantity of sugar in sugar factories. The key element of this system is a DC motor. The control of its speed is of great concern which is accomplished by adjusting its armature voltage. DC motors cover a wide area of applications in industrial processes. In this work, a Genetic Algorithm (GA) based control system has been developed in MATLAB for the cane carrier unit in a sugar factory, and its performance has been compared with a conventional PI control system.
