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 to further optimize the implementation for trapezoidal control and field oriented control. These two algorithms were benchmarked, in order to determine which is more in line with the requirements. This thesis proposes an implementation for a trapezoidal controller that meets most of the requirements.
