Optimization of speed control system for electric drives with elastic coupling

Analytical procedure of speed control system optimization for electric drives with elastic coupling is presented. The optimization and comparative analysis of the control system are provided with the aid of the damping optimum for four state controller types of different order, assuming a wide range of variation of characteristic process parameters ratios. The behaviour of the optimized system with respect to the reference value and disturbance has been examined by computer simulation and experimentally.
