Neural Network Based Optimization of FOPID Controller for Speed Regulation of a Sensorless BLDC Motor Drive
摘要
The purpose of this research is to develop an optimized Artificial Neural Network-based Fractional-Order Proportional Integral Derivative (ANN-FOPID) controller for a sensorless Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motor drive to achieve improved rotor speed control, enhanced regulation accuracy and reduced settling time.
MethodsThe proposed controller integrates an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) with a Fractional-Order PID (FOPID) controller to identify system patterns requiring regulation and improve control performance. The controller parameters are optimally tuned using the Random Weighted Chimp Optimization (RW-CHO) algorithm, an enhanced version of the conventional Chimp Optimization Algorithm. The optimized ANN-FOPID approach is applied to a sensorless BLDC motor drive and its performance is evaluated using key dynamic response metrics.
ResultsThe simulation results demonstrate that the proposed ANN-FOPID controller provides superior speed regulation performance compared with existing methods. The developed model achieves a settling time of 0.36318 s, which is lower than CH (0.3634 s), WOA (0.3634 s), FF (0.3632 s), BAT (0.3637 s), PID-GWO (0.5561 s) and conventional PID (0.4247 s) controllers. The proposed method also improves rotor speed accuracy and transient response characteristics.
ConclusionThe proposed RW-CHO optimized ANN-FOPID controller effectively enhances the performance of sensorless BLDC motor drives by providing faster settling time, improved speed regulation accuracy and better dynamic response.
