Abstract

In comparing the different electric motors used in electric vehicles, the Brushless motor achieved the highest efficiency, reaching 95%. After its success in taking over from DC motors, the Brushless motor has also become the main competitor to induction motors. This work consists of modeling and simulating the speed control of a BLDC motor for electric vehicles. First, the simulation of the global model was carried out under Matlab, and a PI controller ensured the speed control then, during the comparison, the PID type controller and the fuzzy logic were implemented to obtain a better performance according to the results obtained for each control.
