Abstract

Because of the Magnetic Levitation System's (MLS) low energy consumption and little friction two factors that are deemed crucial for unstable and nonlinear systems MLS research is now being conducted in the engineering area. This article discusses the comparison of the performance of control theories used by applying advanced control theories to cope with the complexity of the structure and controllability difficulties of MLS. The control methods compared are Proportional–Integral–Derivative (PID) and Self-Tuning Fuzzy PID (STFPID) methods. These methods were developed in the MATLAB environment. The MLS model created in the MATLAB environment was subjected to the suggested control methods, and the outcomes were compared. The outcomes unequivocally demonstrate that MLS location control may make use of PID and STFPID techniques. Four criteria were used to compare the developed control approaches performances. These are the criteria; rise time, settling time, percent maximum overshoot and overshoot value. It is clearly seen in the results that the STFPID control method provides control of the MLS with greater stability than the PID control method.
