BLDC motor is used in a wide variety of industrial and servo applications. Its features and advantages mainly consist in high value of torque/inertia ratio, high efficiency with speed range and high dynamic performance. This paper deals with the speed control of a trapezoidal type brushless DC motor using Fuzzy PI controller. The conventional PI controller has been widely used in industrial applications. If we select a optimal PI control gain, the PI controller shows very good control performance. But it is very difficult to find the optimal PI control gain. Fuzzy control does not need any model of plant and is basically adaptive and gives robust performance for plant parameter variation. Therefore the combinations of conventional PI controller and fuzzy controller seem to be very effective. This paper deals with PI controller with 4-rule based fuzzy controller. The proposed fuzzy PI controller increases the control performance of the conventional PI controller. Simulation and experimental results show that fuzzy PI controller has a good robustness regarding the improper tuned PI controller.

When the wind speed rises above the rated wind speed, the produced power of the wind turbines exceeds the rated power. Even more, the excessive power results in the undesirable mechanical load and fatigue. A solution to this problem is pitch control of the wind turbines. This paper presents a systematic design method of a collective pitch controller for the wind turbines using a discrete fuzzy Proportional-Integral (PI) controller. Unlike conventional PI controllers, the fuzzy PI controller has variable gains according to its input variables. Generally, tuning the parameters of fuzzy PI controller is complex due to the presence of too many parameters strongly coupled. In this paper, a systematic method for the fuzzy PI controller is presented. First, we show the fact that the fuzzy PI controller is a superset of the PI controller in the discrete-time domain and the initial parameters of the fuzzy PI controller is selected by using this relationship. Second, for simplicity of the design, we use only four rules to construct nonlinear fuzzy control surface. The tuning parameters of the proposed fuzzy PI controller are also obtained by the aforementioned relationship between the PI controller and the fuzzy PI controller. As a result, unlike the PI controller, the proposed fuzzy PI controller has variable gains which allow the pitch control system to operate in broader operating regions. The effectiveness of the proposed controller is verified with computer simulations using FAST, a NREL's primary computer-aided engineering tool for horizontal axis wind turbines.

This paper presents Hybrid PI controller of IPMSM drive using fuzzy adaptive mechanism(FAM) control. In general, PI controller in computer numerically controlled machine process fixed gain. They may perform well under some operating conditions, but not all. To increase the robustness, fixed gain PI controller, Hybrid PI controller proposes a new method based self tuning PI controller. Hybrid PI controller is developed to minimize overshoot and settling time following sudden parameter changes such as speed, load torque, inertia, rotor resistance and self inductance. The results on a speed controller of IPMSM are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed gain tuner. And this controller is better than the fixed gains one in terms of robustness, even under great variations of operating conditions and load disturbance.

Through a lot of papers, it has been concluded that fuzzy logic controller is superior to PI controller in motor speed control. Although fuzzy logic controller is superior to PI controller in motor speed control, the gain tuning of fuzzy logic controller is more complicated than that of PI controller. In this paper, using mathematical analysis of the PI and fuzzy controller, the design method of the fuzzy controller that has the same characteristics with the PI controller is proposed. After that, we can design the fuzzy controller that has superior performance than PI controller by changing the envelope of input of fuzzy controller to nonlinear, because the fuzzy controller has more degree of freedom to select the control gain than PI controller. The advantage of fuzzy logic controller is shown through mathematical analysis, and the simulation result using Matlab simulink has been proposed to show the effectiveness of these analysis.

In this paper, we study an approach to design a self-tuning Fuzzy-PI controller in HVDC(High Voltage Direct Current) system. In the rectifier of conversional HVDC system, turning on, turning off, triggering and protections of thyristors have lots of problems that can make the dynamic instability and cannot damp the dynamic disturbance efficiently. The above problems are solved by adapting Fuzzy-PI controller for the fire angle control of rectifier.[7] The performance of the Fuzzy-PI controller is sensitive to the variety of scaling factors. The design procedure dwells on the use of evolutionary computing(Genetic Algorithms, GAs). Then we can obtain the optimal scaling factors of the Fuzzy-PI controller by Genetic Algorithms. In order to improve Fuzzy-PI controller, we adopt FIS to tune the scaling factors of the Fuzzy-PI controller on line. A comparative study has been performed between Fuzzy-PI and self-tuning Fuzzy-PI controller, to prove the superiority of the proposed scheme.

This paper presents the design of a proportional-integral (PI)-proportional-derivative (PD) position controller without using a speed controller in motor drive systems. Unlike the existing PI-PD position controller design methods, the proposed controller is designed by reducing the entire position control system to a second-order transfer function. Thus, the gain values for the PI-PD position controller can be determined easily by a given bandwidth of the position controller. The PI-PD position controller designed by the proposed method is adopted for position control in an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor drive system to confirm the validity of the proposed design method. The effectiveness of the proposed design method is confirmed through experiments.

This paper proposes the efficiency optimization control of interior permanent magnet synchronous motor(IPMSM) drive using series connected-fuzzy neural network PI(SC-FNPI) controller. The PI controller is generally used to control IPMSM drive in industrial field. However, the PI controller has problem which is falling control performance about parameter variation such as command speed, load torque and inertia due to fixed gain of PI controller. Therefore, to improve performance of PI controller, this paper proposes SC-FNPI controller adjusted input of PI controller by FNN controller according to operating conditions. Also, this paper proposes efficiency optimization control which is improving efficiency with minimize loss. The SC-FNPI controller proposed in this paper is compared control performance with conventional FNN and PI controller about command speed, load torque and inertia variation. And the efficiency optimization control is compared with $i_d=0$ control about loss and efficiency. The SC-FNPI controller proposed in this paper shows more excellent control performance for rising time, overshoot and steady-state error. Also efficiency optimization control is increased efficiency by reducing loss.
