Brushless DC motors (BLDC) are one of the most widely used types of DC motors, both in the industrial and automotive fields. BLDC motor was chosen because it has many advantages over other types of electric motors. However, in its application in the market, most of the control systems used in BLDC motors still use conventional controls. This conventional method is easy and simple to apply but has many weaknesses, one example is that if the system state changes, then the parameters of the PID must also be changed so that static and dynamic performance will decrease, causing slow response and frequent oscillations. In this study, the design and simulation of a speed control system for BLDC motors using the Fuzzy-PID method were carried out. The research method is performed through simulation with Matlab / Simulink. The simulation is carried out by providing a speed setpoint input of 650 rpm and used 2 methods, namely Fuzzy-PID Logic and Pi conventional method which was carried out for 1 second. The test results show that the Fuzzy-PID control can provide better and more stable performance than the conventional PI control. The use of Fuzzy-PID control can reduce speed fluctuation and torque stability so that the BLDC motor can operate more efficiently and reliably.
