This report, Speed Control of In-Wheel Brushless Motor for Hybrid Electric Vehicle, presents the development of a study which implements closedloop speed control of a 3-phase, brushless, permanent-magnet in-wheel motor for a hybrid electric vehicle using external controller and motor drive. An in-wheel motor can convert an ordinary car into a split-parallel type hybrid electric vehicle by replacing the rear wheels with in-wheel motors. The purpose of conducting this project is to investigate the a method to control the speed of the motor with conventional PID , using ari off-the-shelf motor drive from Kelly Controller and NI Compact Rio as the controller. Furthermore, this project also present a study and analysis on the characteristics of the Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motor and a study about the behavior of an additional control strategy which is speed control. Data and results will be obtained from field experiments ori the actual motor in the lab. A Brushless Direct Current motor uses electronic commutation for basic operation. So, the basic brushless motor drive system will perform the commutation to start the brushless motor and the wheels of the car will also rotate. The control system will be implemented using NI LAb VIEW Real-Titne software.
