This paper proposes the instantaneous source voltage and phase current control for torque ripple reduction of a high speed miniature BLDC motor. As compared with general BLDC motor, a high speed miniature BLDC motor has a fast electrical time-constant. So the current and torque ripple are very serious in a conventional PWM switching during conduction period. In order to reduce the switching current ripple, instantaneously controlled source voltage is supplied to the inverter system according to the motor speed and load torque. In addition, the fast hysteresis current controller can keep the phase current In the limited band. The proposed method is verified by the computer simulation and experimental results.

In this paper, an advanced torque control scheme of SRM using DITC(Direct Instantaneous Torque Control) and PWM(pulse width modulation) is presented. Different from conventional DITC method, proposed method uses one or two switching modes at every sampling time, instead of only one switching mode. The duty ratio of the phase switch is regulated according to the torque error and simple control rules of DITC. Moreover the sampling time of control can be extended, which allows implementation on low cost micro-controllers. A simple calculation of PWM can assure a constant switching frequency with an excellent control performance. The proposed control method is verified by the simulations and experimental results.

In the single-phase switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive, the required DC source is generally supplied by the circuit consisting of bridge rectifier with diodes and many filter capacitances connected with AC source. Although the peak torque ripple of SRM is small because of large capacity of the capacitance, the charge and discharge time swhich the AC source acts on the capacitance are small and the peak current will pass on the side of source, so power factor and system efficiency decrease. Therefore a novel SRM drive system is presented in this paper, which includes drive circuit realizing reduction of torque ripple and improvement of power factor and switching topology. The proposed drive circuit consists of one switching part and diodes which can separate the output of AC/DC rectifier from the large capacitance and supply power to SRM alternately in order to realize reduction of torque ripple and improvement of power factor through the turn on and turn off of switching part. In addition, the validity of method is tested by simulation and experiment.

본 논문에선 BLDCM(Brushless DC Motor)의 전류(轉流)구간에서 발생하는 토크리플을 저감시키기 위해 BLDCM의 역기 전력 모델을 이용하여 상승하는 전류와 하강하는 전류의 기울기가 같아지도록 PWM의 턴-온 시간을 실시간으로 제어하는 방식을 제안한다. 제안된 방식에서는 상이 전환되는 구간에서 상전류의 변화량이 스위칭 시간에 따른 인가전압과 전동기 모델방정식 및 예측되는 역기전력 모델에 의해 예측되어지며, 인가하는 전압의 크기는 PWM의 턴-온 시간에 따라 변하게 되므로, 두 전류의 변화량이 같아지도록 하는 스위칭 시간을 계산하여 적용하는 방식이다. 제안된 방식의 유효성은 실제 BLDCM에 대한 시뮬레이션을 통하여 증명하였다.

Pressure control of hydraulic pump using SRM with pressure predictor and direct torque control method is presented in this paper. Nowadays, high efficiency and high performance motor drive is much interested in hydraulic pump system. But the hydraulic pump system has an inherent defect that its dynamic behavior causes by interaction between the sensor and hydraulic load. It will make low performance of whole system, even unstable and oscillatory. Proposed system integrates pressure predictor and direct instantaneous torque control (DITC). The pressure predictor includes Smith predictor, which is easy to improve unstable or long oscillation in traditional negative feedback control and popular PID control architectures. And DITC method can reduce inherent torque ripple of SRM, and develop smooth torque to load, which can increase stability and improve the torque response of SR drive. So high dynamic performance and stabilization can achieved proposed hydraulic system. At last, the proposed hydraulic system is verified by simulation and experimental results.

In this paper the characteristic analysis of a single-phase switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive system with power factor correction (PFC) circuit is presented. The SRM is a low cost, simple and has a good high speed performance. The SRM drive with diode rectifier and filter capacitor has a low power factor because of short switch on time of capacitor. A novel switching topologic is presented to improve power factor and reduce torque ripple based on analysis of PFC circuit. Accordingly the SRM drive system with PFC circuit is also presented. Through the numerical analysis of the system, the toque ripple, power factor and efficiency with the change of rotary speed, load torque and capacity of the capacitor are achieved and compared with actual measured value.

The direct instantaneous torque control (DITC) method is presented in this paper, which enables torque to be generated during all region and instantaneous torque control to be possible. The hysteresis control mode with the compared value between given torque and instantaneous output torque as input is applied in respect region. The output torque function, that is instantaneous output torque with the variation of current and position of rotor, is achieved by experiment. In this control mode the torque subsection function and current control are not needed. The turn on angle with variation of load torque and speed is only selected and turn off angle can be neglected. The validity of method is tested by simulation and experiment.

Harmonics (or distortion in wave form) has always existed in electrical power systems. It is harmless as long as its level is not substantial. However, with the recent rapid advancement of power electronics technology, so-called nonlinear loads, such as variable frequency drives for motor power/speed control, are increasingly finding their way to shipboard or offshore applications. In this paper a new approach to direct torque control (DTC) of induction motor drive is presented. In comparison with the conventional DTC methods the inverter switching frequency is constant and is dramatically increased, requiring neither any increase of the sampling frequency, nor any high frequency dither signal. The well-developed space vector modulation technique is applied to inverter control in the proposed DTC-based induction motor drive system, thereby dramatically reducing the current harmonics. As compared to the existing DTC approach with constant inverter switching frequency, the presented new approach does not invoke any concept of deadbeat control, thereby dramatically reducing the computations.
