摘要

In this paper, a new agent-based method is proposed to address the speed synchronization problem in the network-connected motors. In this study, DC motor is used, driven by a buck chopper circuit. In the proposed method, the consensus protocol of the leader-following multi-agent system is modified, in order to make consensus on the speed among multiple motors in the network, so that they can attain synchronous speed. In order to have a stable system, a common Lyapunov function is developed such that consensus is said to be reached if the ith agent is controllable and observable. MATLAB is used for the purpose of simulation, and results obtained authorize the proposed methodology.
