Abstract

Motor Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) has become the preferred choice in various engineering applications. However, BLDC motor control involves high complexity, and motor performance depends on the control algorithms used. This research discusses the use of sensorless control methods, specifically the Sliding Mode Observer (SMO) for rotor position and speed estimation in BLDC motors within the context of Field-Oriented Control (FOC), validated through simulations using Matlab/Simulink. Simulation results indicate that SMO provides rapid dynamic response to current changes, albeit with slight delays at high speeds. Rotor position estimation with SMO is also reasonably accurate in both steady-state and transient conditions, affirming the iveness of SMO in sensorless control for BLDC motors. SMO can be experimentally implemented to enhance sensorless control in BLDC motors by reducing the cost of installing Hall sensors while maintaining comparable performance.
