Abstract
Aiming at the problems of low efficiency when long distance and high-inclination
belt conveyor driven by multimotor is in light or idle run as well as electrical
power unbalance. Control strategy for belt conveyor driven by fourmotor
via fuzzy self-tuning PID control algorithm was proposed. The Speed setting
algorithm of belt conveyor and fuzzy self-tuning PID algorithm for speed
control and power balance control are introduced. The application shows
that, according to the coal flow changes of the belt conveyor in real-time,
the speed can be automatically adjusted through this algorithm, making
the power of the four motors convergence both speed control error and the
power control error of which are lower than 2.6%.
