This paper presents a new approach to the direct torque control (DTC) method for brushless direct current (BLDC) motor drives, focusing on single reference speed control to enhance dynamic performance, particularly in variable speed and torque applications like electric vehicles. The proposed method, verified through dynamic simulations on MATLAB/Simulink, significantly reduces speed and torque ripples compared to conventional DTC, while maintaining a simple structure with minimal additional computational load. The results indicate improved efficiency and operational effectiveness for BLDC motors in diverse conditions.
