This paper proposes controlling the velocity of BLDC motor using sliding mode observer technique based on the estimation of back electromotive force (back EMF). There are many different sensorless control methods for BLDC motor, but in this paper one of them is examined in detail, comparing with the zero crossing points detection of back EMF and hall sensor control. The proposed method estimates the velocity and rotor position by measuring terminal voltages and currents. According to the rotor position, two inverter switches are energized to commutate the phases of BLDC motor. As comparing desired and real line currents, the commutation signals are acquired with hysteresis band. The simulation model of the suggested method is performed by using MATLAB Simulink environment and results have been simulated to interrogate the performance of the BLDC motor under a load change condition also with reference speed. © 2019, International Organization on 'Technical and Physical Problems of Engineering'.
