Abstract-The proportional-integral-derivative controllers were the most popular controllers of this century because of their remarkable effectiveness, and simplicity of implementation. However, proportional-integral-derivative controllers are usually poorly tuned in practice. This article presents a hybrid particle swarm optimization and bacterial foraging techniques for determining the optimal parameters of a proportional-integral-derivative controller for speed control of a permanent magnet brushless DC motor. The first part of the article deals with the system modeling and its verification where a model of modest accuracy cannot be expected to give a fair comparison of different controllers. The remaining parts of the article present the application of different optimization techniques to tune the proportional-integral-derivative controller as applied to the motor model. The particle swarm optimization, bacterial foraging, and bacterial foraging-particle swarm optimization algorithms are implemented in MATLAB while the GA Toolbox is used. The performance of the tuned controllers is simulated and experimentally verified to evaluate the main characteristics of each one. It is found that the proposed hybrid bacterial foraging-particle swarm optimization technique is more efficient in improving the step response characteristics and achieving the desired performance indices.
