Recently, development of rare earth permanent magnet with the high remanence, high coercivity allows the design of brushless motors with very high efficiency over a wide speed range. Cogging torque is produced in a permanent magnet by magnetic attraction between the rotor mounted permanent magnet and the stator teeth. It is an undesired effect that contributes to output ripple, vibration, and noise of machine. This cogging torque can be reduced by variation of magnet arc length, airgap length, magnet thickness, shifting the magnetic pole and varying the radial shoe depth and etc. In this paper, some airgap length and magnet arc that reduce cogging torque are found by finite element method(FEM) and Maxwell stress tensor method. The SPM(Surface Permanent Magnet) type of high-power Brushless DC (BLDC) motor is optimized as a sample model.

영구자석 전동기(Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor : 이하 PMSM)는 기존 유도전동기에 비해 자속량, 토크 리플 측면에서 우수하다. 또한 모터 제작시 특수모터가 아닌 실용 모터임에 따라 절연재를 위한 공간, 가격대비 효율 등을 고려해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 팬부하용 전동기의 권선형태가 전절권과 동심권을 가질 경우 두 전동기의 특성을 비교하며, 엔드코일의 다른 형태를 통해 볼 수 있는 차이점을 분석 하고자 한다.

This paper presents a spherical motor which can control in multi-degree of freedom operation. The spherical motor has been researched by many types of structure. Thhis paper shows a spherical shaped airgap and surfaced permanent magnets. Especially, The motor consists of dual rotor cores. Unlike a cylindrical motor, the spherical motor design can be considered with azimuth direction on spherical coordinates. Therefore the permanent magnet surfaced on the rotor need to be designed optimally in order to generate a sinusoidal magnetic flux density in the airgap. This paper presents results of optimal design for reducing torque ripple of the multi-degree of freedom spherical motor.

This paper introduces the new Direct Torque Control(DTC) method based on the estimated torque in Switched Reluctance Motor(SRM) and applies the proposed DTC to SRM for the instantaneous torque ripple reduction. The nonlinear characteristics of SRM is considered in the calculation of the estimated torque and the theory is described in this paper. Current control is one of the kernel elements of torque controller and the performance of the current control should be high for this work. But the conventional PI current control has a weak point in SRM application because of motional EMF. Consequently, this paper makes up for the weakness of PI controller through present of new current controller, that is termed the non-interference current control. The ability of proposed torque and current controller is verified through simulation and experiment.

BLDC 전동기는 일반적으로 홀센서를 이용하여 위치를 검출한다. 홀센서는 엔코더, 레졸버 대비 가격이 저렴하고, 전동기 전체 사이즈 경량화를 이룰 수 있는 장점을 통해 많이 이용된다. 그러나 열에 취약하고 설치 시 기구적 위치오차가 발생할 수 있으며 다른 위치검출기에 비해 내구성이 약한 단점을 가지고 있어 이를 대신하기 위해 센서리스 제어연구가 진행되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 핸디형 청소기에 사용되는 BLDC 모터를 저,중,고속 영역을 나누어 센서리스 제어를 수행하였으며 각 속도영역에 따른 다른 제어 방식을 제안한다. 또한, 센서리스로 구동되는 동시에 자동 선행각 제어 알고리즘을 적용하여 토크리플을 최소화 하고자 한다.

In this paper, we study the problem of torque ripple minimization in Brushless DC Motors (BLDC) and proposes a disturbance observer (DOB) based controller in order to efficiently reduce the torque ripple. In the DOB based control system, an equivalent disturbance (plant disturbance and effect of modelling error) is cancelled by its estimate. When the DOB controller is applied to BLDC motors, the effect of inverter switching is considered as an equivalent disturbance and to be cancelled by the DOB controller. Through computer simulations, it is shown that the performance of the proposed DOB controller is superior to that of the conventional PI controller. In the case where the numerical values of resistance and inductance are not known exactly, it is shown that the proposed DOB controller achieves better performance than the PI controller.

저용량 에어컨의 압축기에 많이 사용되는 Single rotary 방식은 하나의 피스톤만을 채용하여 가격적인 면에서 큰 이점을 가진다. 그러나, 압축기 모터가 1회전할때 마다 압축과 토출을 단 1회 거치게 되므로, 부하변동을 심하여 진동이 많이 발생하는 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위하여 Single rotary를 사용하는 에어컨 제품에서는 저속에서의 운전을 회피하거나 하나의 운전점에 대한 전향보상기를 채용하여 진동을 저감시켜 왔다. 본 논문에서는 모든 운전점에서 보상이 가능하도록 압축과 토출로 인한 부하의 패턴에서 각 주파수 성분을 분석하여 자동으로 부하 토크를 보상하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 가장 영향이 큰 1차와 2차 주파수 성분의 속도 리플의 양을 FFT 하고, 그 양이 작아지는 방향으로 부하 토크를 전향 제어방식으로 인가하는 방식이다. 제안된 방식을 이용하여 저속 운전에서 진동이 저감 되는것을 실험을 통하여 보였다.

In this paper, we propose a novel velocity ripple controller using phase compensation feedforward control. Velocity ripples result in many kinds of performance degradations in manufacturing machines, especially such as ultra-precision roll lathes. The generation of velocity ripple in constant velocity control comes from various causes, such as electrical torque ripples, mechanical worn out, inconsistent mass center, etc. Conventional researches about ripple is mainly for reducing torque ripple in actuator level, which is only one of reasons for velocity ripples, so in this study, we focus on eliminating velocity ripples in upper level controller using phase compensation feedforward controller. The proposed algorithm is composed of several modules, such as ripple extractor, phase adjuster and phase follower etc. The suggested algorithm can be easily extended, and it shows a superior performance in the experiments of ultra-precision roll lathes.

In order to improve the speed performance of the direct drive mechanical systems, a comprehensive analysis of the velocity ripples of blushless DC motors should be required. Every motor has a certain level of torque ripples when it generates power, and the generated torque ripple also makes the velocity ripples in the final output stage in speed control system. In this paper, a novel algorithm for reducing velocity ripples is proposed based on the modeling of torque ripples for BLDC motors. Various algorithms have been made for torque ripples, but usually they should be installed inside the amplifier logic, result in the difficulties of flexibility for various kinds of torque ripples. The proposed algorithm was developed for being ported in the controller not the amplifier, and it has the capability of the automatic compensation adjustment. The performance of the proposed algorithm was verified by effective simulations and experiments.
