Abstract :
In this paper, the control of a brushless DC motor/generator in a light motorcycle powered by fuel cell energy for mass production is presented. The zero emission vehicle development will improve air quality and protect the environment. The control strategies for motoring and regenerative braking operations of a brushless DC motor are explained in detail based on a system hybrid control of a fuel cell hybrid vehicle. A prototype experimental test-bed is built for experimental verifications and results are discussed.
