Abstract
This paper presents an exercise in applying the bacterial foraging algorithm (BFA) optimisation method on a proportional—integral-derivative controller (PID) of a DC motor circuit. The paper presents the system description of the DC motor transfer function and the simulation of the close loop system using MATLAB. The BFA algorithm is described and discussed with the simulation results presented to illustrate the enhancement of the system response that in result enhances the operation of the DC motor system.
