Control Algorithm Design for a High Power Electronic Speed Controller

This thesis focuses on finding a control algorithm that, based on a list of requirements, is most suitable for driving the 25 A permanent magnet synchronous motor and propeller that are provided by Fusion Engineering. Various control algorithms are investigated, and basic implementations are simulated. Based on the investigation, it was decided...

Design of an Electronic Speed Controller: Sub-group: Communication and Sensing

This thesis is part of a project where a 120A, 50V (12S Lithium-Polymer battery) electronic speed controller (ESC) with Bidirectional DShot600 support is prototyped. This thesis focuses on the communication and sensing aspects<br/>of the ESC. It discusses the implementation of the DShot communication protocol on an STM32G431KBT6 microcontroller....

Extremum Seeking Control in Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion: An experimental Study

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is a technique to generate electricity by using the thermal gradient available in the ocean to drive a heat engine. In order for OTEC to become successful it is important to reduce the levelized cost of electricity. The development of an effective control system can aid in this endeavour, by making sure...
