Abstract

This paper presents the results of research on speed regulation of a brushless DC motor. This is mainly a comparative study between a PID regulator and a fuzzy regulator applied to the operation of this type of engine in order to find the best control. The BLDC engine must operate under various speed and load conditions with improved performance and robust and complex speed control. Because of this complexity, the traditional PID command encounters difficulties in controlling the speed of a BLDC. Another control technique is currently developing and is producing good results. This is the fuzzy controller that handles process control problems, that is, managing a process based on a given set point per action on the variables that describe the process. To achieve the desired results, the brushless DC machine model will be studied. With the model obtained, both types of regulator will be tested. A synthesis of the observed comparison results will enable a conclusion to be drawn on the performance of the two types of regulators driving a BLDC (Brushless DC).

Summary

Introduction

Industrial processes require precise regulation of the speed of the drive motors To achieve this objective, a control based on electronic semiconductor variators was used for the DC motors. Thanks to advances in electronics, the development of brushless motors is booming in many fields of application and for powers up to a few tens of kilowatts. These permanent magnet synchronous type motors eliminate the drawbacks associated with the collector of direct current motors, and their performance surpasses that of asynchronous motors [1]. The main objective of this work is to compare the PID control to the fuzzy control for driving the brushless DC machine and determine the most robust control. The work presented in this article is structured as follows: the first part presents the operating principle of the BLDC, the second part presents the modelling of the machine and the last part presents the results obtained after a simulation on MATLAB Simulink and the discussions
