In this paper, a hybrid neuro-fuzzy controller (NFC) is presented for the speed control of brushless DC motors to improve the control performance of the drive under transient and steady state conditions. In the hybrid control system, proportional-derivative (PD) type neuro-fuzzy controller (NFC) is the main tracking controller, and an integral compensator is proposed to compensate the steady st...

• Robust sensorless commutation control. • External speed reference. • Overcurrent detection/protection. • Basic speed controller included. • Full source code in C. • Source code can be adapted to a new motor by changing parameters. • Several I/O pins/peripherals not used for motor control. Can be used for other purposes, such as status LEDs, communication or user input. • Works without modific...

The Brushless DC (BLDC) motor is a simple robust machine which has found application over a wide power and speed of ranges in different shapes and geometry. This paper briefly reviews the fundamentals behind the motor and also the different types of BLDC motors with different geometries and then presents a new configuration for BLDC motor/generator, which does not use a permanent magnet in the ...

Light urban electric vehicles are an important target, both for the researchers and manufacturers. Concerning the motor’s choice, more ways are investigated, but the most important is that as compact as possible solutions have to be used. In the top of the preferences, the permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) and brushless DC motors (BLDC) are situated. These are preferred thanks to their...
