contents Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are increasingly used in various industries due to their reliability, low noise, and extended lifespan compared to traditional DC motors. Their high torque-to-weight ratio and impressive starting torque make them ideal for automotive, robotics, and industrial applications. This paper explores the multi-objective tuning of BLDC motor controllers, focusing on position and torque ripple. A state-space model of the BLDC motor and the entire control system, including the power stage and control structure, is developed in the Simulink environment. Two common control mechanisms, trapezoidal and Field Oriented Control (FOC), are implemented and optimized. Both mechanisms utilize a cascaded closed-loop position control, providing fair disturbance rejection but requiring challenging tuning of the controllers. To address these challenges, the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) is used for optimization. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of optimization techniques in enhancing the performance of control systems.
