Compares CC-FOC and HSC strategies for optimizing BLDC motor performance in e-scooters, indicating significant differences in efficiency.
This paper investigates the influence of two different control methods on the performance of Brushless DC (BLDC) motors using MATLAB/Simulink. BLDC motors are widely used in industrial and consumer applications due to their high efficiency, reliability, and compactness. The performance of this motor is significantly affected by the choice of control strategy used for inverter control. This study compares Current-Controlled Field-Oriented Control (CC-FOC) and Hall Sensor-based Commutation (HSC) in terms of torque ripple and speed response. Both methods are simulated on a 350W BLDC motor used in an electric scooter (e-scooter). Simulation models are developed in MATLAB/Simulink to evaluate each technique under identical operating conditions. The findings show that the CC-FOC method has a significantly higher response capability at maximum speeds, reduces torque ripples, and improves the dynamic stability of the system compared to the HSC method. The results provide insights into the trade-offs between control complexity and motor performance, offering guidance for selecting an appropriate control strategy in practical applications.
