Hybrid Fuzzy proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers (F-PID-C) is designed and analyzed for controlling speed of brushless DC (BLDC) motor. A simulation investigation of the controller for controlling the speed of BLDC motors is performed to beat the presence of nonlinearities and uncertainties in the system. The fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is designed according to fuzzy rules so that the systems are fundamentally robust. There are 49 fuzzy rules for each parameter of FUZZY-PID controller. Fuzzy Logic is used to tune each parameter of the proportional, integral and derivative ( kp,ki,kd) gains, respectively of the PID controller. The FLC has two inputs i.e., i) the motor speed error between the reference and actual speed and ii) the change in speed of error (rate of change error). The three outputs of the FLC are the proportional gain, kp, integral gain ki and derivative gain kd, gains to be used as the parameters of PID controller in order to control the speed of the BLDC motor. Various types of membership functions have been used in this project i.e., gaussian, trapezoidal and triangular are assessed in the fuzzy control and these membership functions are used in FUZZY PID for comparative analysis. The membership functions and the rules have been defined using fuzzy system editor given in MATLAB. Two distinct situations are simulated, which are start response, step response with load and without load. The FUZZY-PID controller has been tuned by trial and error and performance parameters are rise time, settling time and overshoot. The findings show that the trapezoidal membership function give good results of short rise time, fast settling time and minimum overshoot compared to others for speed control of the BLDC motor.
