Description
Summary:Controlling the rotational speed of brushless DC (BLDC) motor is an essential task to improve the transient and the steady state performances under loaded condition. Rotational speed control of BLDC motor using genetic algorithm optimized proportional-derivative (PD) controller to form what the so-called the genetic algorithm-PD (GA-PD) controller is proposed in this paper. Control system is realized in a microcontroller namely a 16MHz Atmega2560 with an absolute encoder as a position sensor. The effectiveness of the GA-PD controller is tested under constant and varying step functions with the Ziegler-Nichols-PD (ZN-PD) controller as a benchmark. Experimental results show that the GA-PD controller has slower speed than the ZN-PD controller, but the latter has overshoot and small oscillations during its steady state condition as a consequent of having a fast rise time.
