A novel PID controller for BLDCM speed control using dual fuzzy logic systems with HSA optimization

Abstract

In order to enhance the speed control performance of the brushless DC motor (BLDCM), a novel proportion integration differentiation (PID) is proposed in this paper by using dual fuzzy logic systems (FLSs) with harmony search algorithm (HSA) optimization, which is called DFPID-HSA. Firstly, the FLS1 in DFPID-HSA locks the three coefficients of the PID controller in an extensive range on the basis of the system error and error change rate. Then, the FLS2 is optimized by HSA (HSA-F2) to obtain the precise correction of the three coefficients. To get the optimal global harmony better, the improved dynamic adjustment mode is used for the pitch adjustment rate (PAR) and distance bandwidth (BW) in HSA, and the triple selection method is adopted in the composition harmony section to realize the global search. Finally, DFPID-HSA provides the optimal supply control signal to BLDCM so that it can control the speed effectively. Moreover, the stability of the system is analyzed by the pole, Lyapunov, and Nyquist determination methods. And the sensitivity analysis of DFPID-HSA is carried out under the condition of different motor’s mechanical parameters to check its robustness. In addition, the superiority of DFPID-HSA is verified by MATLAB simulation and experiment platform.
