On model parameter estimation methods of DC electric motors

This paper describes the implementation of some parameter estimation methods commonly used for direct current (DC) electric motors. Model parameter estimation algorithms based on numerical optimization available in Simulink® are implemented to estimate the motor parameters. In addition, the algebraic identification approach is also applied for on-line parameter estimation. Some numerical comparisons of the presented estimation methods are included to show their satisfactory applicability scope. Keywords: algebraic identification, DC electric motor, numerical optimization, parameter estimation.
