This document discusses tuning the parameters of a PID controller for a separately excited DC motor drive system using genetic algorithms. It first describes the DC motor model and simulink modeling. It then provides background on PID controllers and genetic algorithms. The document proposes using genetic algorithms to tune the PID controller parameters (KP, KI, KD) to minimize errors and improve the step response of the controlled DC motor system. It presents the tuning methodology, comparing conventional PID tuning to GA-based tuning. Simulation results are presented and discussed, showing that GA tuning improves the step response by reducing overshoot and settling time compared to the conventional PID controller.
