Particle swarm optimization-based BLDC motor speed controller with response speed consideration

Abstract

In this paper, a Particle Swarm optimization (PSO) based controller is implemented to a BLDC motor. A PSO-based controller is designed for controlling BLDC motor speed with acceleration consideration. PSO is used to find the appropriate PI controller parameters, Kp and Ki according to the speed reference and response speed designed. The result shows that the PSO-based controller designed is able to control the speed of BLDC motor properly with the desired response speed.
