The electric braking system obtains its braking force by a motor instead of the hydraulic brake which has been used in conventional automobile systems. Electric braking system is consisted of fewer numbers of components than hydraulic braking system, and it has effects of improved response and reduced braking distance for the ABS(Anti-lock Brake System) and ESC(Electronic Stability Control). This paper presents the BLAC motor drive system for Electro-Magnetic Brake(EMB). Proposed control system consists of the power converter for driving a motor and the digital control system for speed control, and the vector control is applied for fast torque response. It is verified through the simulation using Matlab/Simulink and experiment that the proposed BLAC drive system can be applied to EMB.

The emf of a permanent magnet multi-phase BLAC(Brushless AC) motor is generally a non-sinusoidal or a non-ideal trapezoid wave. So, conventional modeling using a sinusoidal or an ideal trapezoid emf can result in errors to simulate and analyze the properties of a multi-phase BLAC motor. To reduce the modeling error, this paper proposes a phase variable model, which is obtained from a hybrid modeling technique consisting of Finite Element Analysis(FEA) based circuits and equations. Since the phase model parameters including the emf waveform were obtained using FEA, the proposed hybrid modeling technique can be used to implement a simulation model for multi-phase BLAC motors with any emf voltage waveforms. Adequacy of the proposed model was established from the simulation and experimental results for a seven-phase BLAC motor.

This paper presents a result of the mechanical noise and vibration analysis as well as the electrical characteristics analysis of the permanent magnet(PM) motor according to the driving method that is Brushless DC(BLDC) drive and Brushless AC(BLAC) drive. To do that, the characteristics of the PM motor, which have the same output power but different driving method, are investigated. At that time, the characteristics such as torque, torque ripple and flux density, and so on, are obtained by finite element analysis(FEA). Besides, noise and vibration are obtained by spectrum analysis. The magnetic noise is defined as noise generated from vibrations due to electromagnetic excitation force. In this paper, the electromagnetic excitation force is analyzed and design process of noise reduction is proposed. Finally, The validity of the analysis results is verified by test.

This study presents an overhang-type rail traction system using dual brushless AC (BLAC) motors with hall sensors. For an accurate position and moving length control of the designed rail traction system, instantaneous position controller using speed reference model and modified disturbance observer for BLAC motor with hall sensor are proposed. The presented speed reference model is designed to satisfy the required performance of 200 mm/s with proper acceleration and deceleration slopes to reduce mechanical vibration. Through the instantaneous speed reference model, instantaneous position and speed errors can be compensated together. Furthermore, the modified disturbance observer for BLAC motors with low-resolution hall sensors can improve the torque and speed control performance. The proposed disturbance observer is based on an actual motor speed. However, the feedback speed information of the hall sensor is not enough for use in the low-speed region. The practical adopted disturbance observer uses an activation speed band to the actual torque controller of the designed rail traction system. The proposed position control scheme is verified by the MATLAB-Simulink model and a practical manufactured traction system. In the computer simulation and experiments, the proposed position control scheme shows advanced control performance.

일반적으로 BLDC 모터는 고효율 고토크의 특성을 가지고, 넓은 속도 범위에 걸쳐 높은 효율을 유지 하고 제어가 용이하므로 널리 사용 되고 있다. 이러한 BLDC 모터는 구동 원리에 의해서 역기전력의 파형이 구형파를 가지는 것이 유리하다. 또한 BLAC 모터는 효율, 역률, 전력밀도 및 토크 밀도가 높은 장점을 가지고 정현파 역기전력을 요구한다. 매입형 영구자석형 동기전동기 중 할박 구조로 인해서 자속을 집중 시키는 Spoke type 모터의 회전자 표면은 철심으로 이루어져 있기 때문에 회전자 표면의 형상을 Arc설계를 통해서 형상 최적화가 가능하다. 회전자 표면의 Arc 설계를 통해서 공극의 자속밀도 분포의 변화를 줄 수 있어 BLDC 구동 시 요구하는 구형파 역기저력 파형과 BLAC 구동 시 요구되는 정현파 역기저력 파형을 Arc 설계 각도에 따라 다르게 발생 시킬 수 있다. 이를 통해서 역기전력을 형태를 구형파와 정현파 형태를 가지도록 설계하여 BLDC와 BLAC 구동 시에 성능을 FEA를 통해서 비교 평가 하여, 구동 방식에 따른 Spoke type IPM 모터의 형상 설계방법을 제시한다.
