Identification of mechanical parameters in servo-drive system

In this paper, a novel application of Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm to identification of mechanical parameters in servo-drive system is presented. The accurate identification of mechanical parameters of servo-drive system is essential for synthesis of the servo-drive's control system. Several mathematical models, including non-linear one, are applied to identify parameters of considered plant. In the proposed approach, the identification is based on angular velocity response and electromagnetic torque generated by the motor. The identified parameters obtained for several configurations of experimental set, i.e. for different moments of inertia and friction components, were compared with another approaches of identification.
