Abstract: Brushless DC motors (BLDCM) are widely used for many industrial applications because of their high efficiency, high torque and low volume. This paper proposed an improved Adaptive Fuzzy PID controller to control speed of BLDCM. This paper provides an overview of performance conventional PID controller, Fuzzy PID controller and Adaptive Fuzzy PID controller. It is difficult to tune the parameters and get satisfied control characteristics by using normal conventional PID controller. As the Adaptive Fuzzy has the ability to satisfied control characteristics and it is easy for computing. The experimental results verify that a Adaptive Fuzzy PID controller has better control performance than the both Fuzzy PID controller and conventional PID controller. The modeling, control and simulation of the BLDC motor have been done using the software package MATLAB/SIMULINK.
