This paper surveys the literature of the brushless DC motor speed control techniques. The paper should prove useful to both researchers as well as practising engineers as a signpost to the current state of the art. Based on the review some further studies are suggested.

Despite the fast growing implementation of brushless DC motor, the older brushed DC motor is still relevant in many commercial, industrial and hobbyist applications due to low-cost and simplicity. Many brushed DC motor applications require precise speed and position control, thus requiring a sensor feedback. Commonly a separate rotary encoder is required to provide speed and positional feedback...

In this paper, the solar panel using fuzzy controlled maximum power point tracking is analysed for a brushless DC motor (BLDC). The BLDC is powered by the solar panel through an integrated inverter circuit to produce an AC signal. The solar panel power obtained is tracked by an artificial intelligent technique using fuzzy logic controller to extract the maximum power from the panel. The maximum...
