3-Phase BLDC Motor, which is generally used, has limited usage in high speed, due to pulsation torque occurring commutation and variable speed. To solve this problem, it is necessary to increase invariable, pole number, or the number of slots. Currently, due to rapid growth of semiconductor technology and trend toward smaller and cheaper production of switching device, multi-phase BLDC Motor for high speed, high output power is being actively pursued to produce. In this paper 7-Phase BLDC Motor drive system is designed and Vector modulator is studied.

The 7-phase BLDC motor is possible for higher efficiency per the unit area, high power and high speed due to the increasing number of phase. Also, it can be looking forward to reduce the current ripple at a point of commutation by the increasing number of phase. Thus, a study for applications of servo system, medical and military instruments is progressing about the BLDC motor is manufactured with multi-phase, currently. This paper is used the fuzzy logic control method for speed control of 7-phase BLDC motor and this is compared with the conventional PI controller using by simulation and experimental results for verification validity of the fuzzy logic controller in this system. The 7-phase BLDC motor and controller are modeled by PSIM6.0 software of PowerSim co. in simulation and we are experimented by the test board that is composed with TMS320VC33-150 DSP controller of Texas Instruments co. and FLEX EPF6016TC144-3 of ALTERA co.

According to previously published paper the phase advance angle is adopted to the BLDC motor drive with high speed. The report proposed describes the optimum algorism that phase current is in phase with the initial flat region of back EMF. This report studies the need of more leading phase advance angle compared with in phase concept between phase current and back EMF. In case of high reactance this report proposes the more phase advance angle than in phase. The test results more rms value of phase current and output power due to more phase advance angle than in phase. It will be helped the high power operation of BLDC motor at high speed.

Brushless Direct Current(BLDC) Motor is essential to measure a rotor position because of that this motor type needs to synchronize the rotor's position and changeover phase current instead of a brush and commutator used on the existing dc motor. Recently, many researches have studied on sensorless control drive for BLDC motor. The conventional control methods are a compensation value dq, Kalman filter, Fuzzy logic, Neurons neural network, and the like. These methods has difficulties of detecting BEMF accurately at low speed because of low BEMF voltage and switching noise. And also, the operation is long and complex. So, it is required a high-performance microprocessor. Therefore, it is not suitable for a small BLDC motor sensorless drive. This paper presents control methods suitable for economic small BLDC motor sensorless drive which are an improved design of the BEMF detection circuit, simplifying a complex algorithm and computation time reduction. The improved motor sensorless drive is verified stability and validity through being designed, manufactured and analyzed.

This study proposes a method for compensating for the commutation torque ripple of delta-connected brushless DC motors with low inductance based on a current predictions. At the commutation instant, a phase current at the next sampling period is predicted and compared with the reference phase current to determine whether torque ripples will occur or not. If the predicted current cannot reach the reference phase current, the reference current is modified and the relevant voltage reference is produced to reduce the torque ripple. The validity of the proposed method has been verified by simulation and experimental results. The commutation torque ripple has been decreased by 17.7% at 1,000 rpm and 80% load conditions.

Electrical motors are an integral part of industrial plants with no less than 5 billion motors built world wide every year. The demand for low-cost brushless DC (BLDC) motors has increased in industrial applications. This paper presents a BLDC motor control algorithm for low-cost motor drive applications using general purpose microcontrollers which have only one on-chip timer. This paper describes how to realize pulse width modulation (PWM) signals with general input/output (I/O) ports to control a three-phase permanent magnet brushless DC motor using the timer interrupt on MSP430F1232.

This report describes the analytical solution of back EMF for BLDC motor using numerical analysis of air gap flux density. The analysis of air gap flux density is the key to expect the performance of back EMF for the design of brushless motor. The numerical analysis and FEM analysis are performed to vary attachment of stator side or rotor side, radial flux magnetization or parallel flux magnetization, magnet arc angle in the condition of constant air gap. This results have more reliable data comparing with test result of the back EMF for 7 phase BLDC motor.

DC motors have widely been used in the field of variable-speed driving system since it is easy to control flux and torque of the motors precisely but it is hard to check and maintain those periodically. In addition, there are difficulties in high power and high speed running due to rectifying limit of commutator, and are a lot of restrictions in installation. Therefore, speed control in BLDC(Brushless DC) motors have seriously been studied for a long while. In this paper, a mathematical model of BLDC motor driven by PWM inverter is developed. Dynamics and steady-state characteristics of BLDC motor are simulated and analyzed with a series of experiments for the parameter estimation : torque, speed, phase voltage and current.
