Abstract

An electric scooter, as one type of Lightweight vehicles technology, is a motorized vehicle designed for short-distance travel and recreational purposes. It is powered by an electric motor and typically has a rechargeable battery that provides sufficient power to operate the vehicle. Electric scooters are similar to traditional scooters but are much quieter, eco-friendly, and more energy-efficient. They are commonly used as an alternative mode of transportation for commuting, sightseeing, and recreational activities. This work presents an experimental implementation of speed stabilizer of electric scooter. In fact, a constant speed function might be required in a specific case in the operation of the scooter. A Field Oriented Control (FOC) method was chosen to control the speed of 3-phase Brushless DC motor of the scooter using a PIC16F873A Microcontroller through a Driver circuit. The control algorithm is designed to produce pulse width modulation (PWM) signal with the PID controller of the pulse bandwidth equipped with this Microcontroller and compared to the return pulse of the speed sensor in order to create and apply a closed back-feed system for good stability performance of scooter speed at different load values. The results obtained from this work show that the possibility of obtaining a wide range of control of the speed of the scooter at different loads with high reliability.

Keywords: BLDC motor, PIC16F873A Microcontroller, FOC method, Gate driver, Speed control.
