Abstract
This study provides an efficient torque and speed control method for brushless DC (BLDC) motor utilizing a fractional order proportional integral derivative (FOPID) controller based on the multiverse optimization algorithm and salp swarm optimization (SSO). When combined with a solar photovoltaic (PV) system and a voltage boosting architecture, standard PID controllers regulated the BLDC drive parameters due to their simplicity and improved steady-state performances. A solar PV system with a specific power range is chosen for the best output solution on the output side. The MPPT method employed is the incremental conductance approach for tracking maximum power from the source. However, it has a problem with unpredictability owing to load changes. The PID controller tuning also relates to the structure’s parametric uncertainties. Therefore, precise control methods may be offered with the aid of the FOPID controller to address the aforementioned issues. Simulation results of the proposed MVO and SSO-based FOPID controller for BLDC speeds run in the Matlab Simulink platform. To confirm the adaptability of the suggested control scheme for BLDC motor, the outcomes are interrelated using genetic algorithm, gray wolf, and PSO-based FOPID controllers.
