Design and Simulation of Washing Machine Equipped with Universal Motor

Abstract

The goal of this study is to suggest a precise controller for a washing machine that uses a universal motor. The mathematical model of washing machine is developed by examining the operation of it. PID controller and Fuzzy Logic controller (FLC) are developed to adapt for the disturbance without reducing tracking performance. These controllers are meant to reject undesirable disruptions induced by the position of the laundry, which is usually in transition mode. The controllers utilized in this work are calibrated to the motor parameters using mathematical formulae. Finally, both controllers’ simulation results are compared in MATLAB/Simulink.
