PI Controller of Speed Regulation of Brushless DC Motor Based on Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm with Improved Inertia Weights

Abstract EN

The brushless director current (DC) motor is a new type of mechatronic motor that has been developed rapidly with the development of power electronics technology and the emergence of new permanent magnet materials.

Based on the speed regulation characteristics, speed regulation strategy, and mathematical model of brushless DC motor, a parameter optimization method of proportional-integral (PI) controller on speed regulation for the brushless DC motor based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm with variable inertia weights is proposed.

The parameters of PI controller are optimized by PSO algorithm with five inertia weight adjustment strategies (linear descending inertia weight, linear differential descending inertia weight, incremental-decremented inertia weight, nonlinear descending inertia weight with threshold, and nonlinear descending inertia weight with control factor).

The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by the simulation experiments and the related simulation results.
