This Paper presents a framework to carry out a simulation for closed loop speed control of BLDC motor with PID and Modified PID controller. The novelty of this paper lies in the design of modified PID controller to track the reference trajectory with and without load in addition to minimizing the initial overshoot. The simulation includes all realistic values and components of the motor. The three phase inverter and its control algorithm is modeled and simulated using MATLAB Simulink. The PID and Modified PID controller track the reference speed with and without load disturbances in closed loop control but the demerit of conventional PID can be observed in its steep overshoot in the closed loop transient response. The speed, torque, dc-link current and back-emf waveforms are analyzed for various load torque conditions through MATLAB Simulink.Keywords: BLDC Motor, PID, Modified PID, VSI, Rise/Settling time, Minimum overshoot, MATLAB.
IntroductionRecently, the small and medium size motor industries are developing rapidly because of its simple and small structure. The BLDC motor has the advantages of high efficiency, long life time, good speed torque characteristics and high toque to weight ratio compared to DC, Induction and Switched Reluctance motor. It is used in the field of electric drives, aerospace engineering, robotics and household's equipment etc. The paper
