A comparative study on the speed response of BLDC motor using conventional PI controller, anti-windup PI controller and fuzzy controller

Brushless dc motors (BLDC) are widely used for various applications because of high torque, high speed and smaller size. This type of motors are non linear in nature and are affected highly by the non-linearities like load disturbance. Speed control of this motor is traditionally handled by conventional PI and PID controllers. This paper presents the speed control of BLDC motor using anti wind up PI controller. Problems like rollover can arise in conventional PI controller due to saturation effect. In order to avoid such problems anti wind up schemes are introduced. As the fuzzy controller has the ability to control and as it is simple to calculate, a fuzzy controller is also designed for speed control of BLDC motor. The control and simulation of BLDC motor have been done using software MATLAB/SIMULINK. The simulation results using anti wind up PI controller and fuzzy controller are compared with PI controller.
