Feedback control system : magnetic levitation

Abstract

This report, entitled “Feedback Control System: Magnetic Levitation System” summarizes the entire final year project for the Electrical System engineering courses done in Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP). This project is about developing the feedback control which stabilize the magnetic levitation system. In the real world, disturbances such as variations in the line voltage will cause variations in the electromagnetic current. These, will cause the ball to either fall (current decreases) or attach itself to the electromagnet (current increases). In this project, we want to incorporate a feedback signal to stabilize the ball in the face such disturbances.
