Abstract

The objective of this paper is to study and analyze the control strategies related to magnetic levitation systems (MLS). Major motto is to propose refinement in the mechanism of MLS towards effective stability of the system. In the proposed work, the prototype of the levitation system is acquired by calculating the proportional linear system parameters and implementing a suitable PID controller to accomplish a stable system. The PID parameters have been obtained for the controller and applied to a nonlinear system model for productive outcome. The results of linear and nonlinear systems are compared and hence use of PID controller is justified.
