Synopsis of the Speed Control Methods of Electric Drives with BLDC Motor

Abstract

The use of BLDC motor has had rapid growth in various applications, in all areas of use of electromechanical systems. This has come as a result of not only the advantages, that have the BLDC motor compared to other types of electric machines of alternating and direct current, but also the possibility of using all control methods to ensure safe and high-precision work, which have given it a very large advantage in adapting it to perform a variety of tasks. Electronic control of BLDC motor gives it the advantage of being suitable for control schemes, starting with the ones with sensors, to determine the position of the rotor, to sensorless methods, from traditional control methods PI, PID and up to advanced and intelligent control methods, or in the production of controllers as integrated circuits, for specific commercial purposes. This advantage makes possible for the motor to be selected for different functions, be flexible and adaptable. BLDC motor control can be accomplished with or without sensor methods. The advantage of sensorless control methods is the realization of the required quality indicators at the lowest cost. But the disadvantage of BLDC control methods without sensors is that it needs a control algorithm and more complex electronic circuits. The purpose of this paper is to examine the different methods of BLDC motor control with sensor and without sensor, to point out the advantages and disadvantages of each, as well as to recommend the field of application of each of these methods. Based on the literature review all of these control methods for electrical transmissions with BLDC motor, will be briefly reviewed in this paper.
