An educational example to the maximum power transfer objective in electric circuits using a PD-controlled DC- driver

Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to present an academic example of a PD controller applied to teach position control design of a DC-motor to automatically adjust a potentiometer. This adjustment is focused on to solve the maximum power transfer objective in a linear electrical circuit. This design involves the use of the extremum seeking algorithm. To support our proposal, numerical simulations and mathematical modelling of the main problem statement are programmed.
