    Abstract: More strategies were developed to control a Brushless Motor’s Speed. Among them, vector control is one of widely used. Variable Gain PI controller is developed and gives a performed control result. Fuzzy logic control is proposed to optimize the control system. In this paper, the system combines the performance of the Variable Gain PI and fuzzy log... Show More
