Abstract
Keywords:
1. Introduction
- A method of control has been created to enhance the real-time control of BLDC motors for electric vehicles.
- Implementing a BLDC motor speed control for electric automobile applications and explaining electric vehicle technology.
- A model was created for the 120-degree mode using electrical and mechanical equations using MATLAB/Simulink.
- Investigate three scenarios for the possibility of controlling BLDC motors by using constant and dynamic speed and torque.
- The proposed control techniques are studied and tested on the MATLAB software platform and experimental lab.
- A test bench was created to thoroughly improve power electronics and real-time control of the BLDC motor, especially with regard to PWM approaches, signal generation, and speed control in both theory and practice.
- Implementation of the control schemes uses both soft switching and hard switching PWM approaches.
- The BLDC platform controls the Arduino motors to produce a PWM signal with a duty cycle of 0% to 100% and a frequency of 50Hz.
- Using the identical circuit settings used for simulation, an experimental prototype was put into practice to validate the simulation results. The gate pulses are generated with a time delay to prevent short circuits during switch operation.
