Comparative Study of Controller Design for Four Quadrant Operation of Three Phase BLDC Motor.

Brushless DC motor drives are becoming more popular in industrial and traction applications. The control of BLDC motor in four quadrants is very vital. The three-phase permanent magnet brushless dc motor inherently needs an electronic commutation circuit to drive it, because it is not a self-commutating motor. It is contrary to the conventional brush motor which commutates itself. This paper presents a comparison study of three type of control such as PI, PID & fuzzy. The characteristics of the three control methods are investigated intensely and the advantages, disadvantages of each are compared to the others with the help of MATLAB simulink software.
