BLDCM(Brushless D.C. Motor) is widely used for industrial application because of high efficiency and high power density. Especially, in servo system and home appliance, BLDCM is very useful due to high control performance and low acoustic noise. In this paper, 2.5HP rated BLDCM and its controller is developed for tread mill application. The prototype BLDCM has 4 poles rotor and 24 slots stator. Ferrite magnet was used as a rotor magnet because of the cost and temperature characteristic. For the stable operation of tread mill, current and temperature can be detected and treated by DSP. Thedesigned BLDCM and its controller is verified by the experimental results.

This paper proposes an optimal current distribution method of dual-rotor brushless DC machines (DR-BLDCMs) which have inner and outer surface-mounted permanent-magnet rotors. The DR-BLDCM has high power density and high torque density compare to the conventional single rotor BLDCM. To drive the DR-BLDCM, dual 3-phase PWM inverters are required to excite the currents of a dual stator of the DR-BLDCM and an optimal current distribution algorithm is also needed to enhance the system efficiency. In this paper, the copper loss and the switching loss of a DR-BLDCM drive system are analyzed according to the motor parameters and the switching frequency. Moreover, the optimal current distribution method is proposed to minimize the total electrical loss. The validity of the proposed method was verified through several experiments.

This paper studies the torque characteristics of CDTP controlled BLDCM with various back-EMF waveforms. We propose a CDTP method to suppress torque pulsation due to commutation time and point. It is adopted to control the BLDCM with real back-EMF waveforms through the Hague's method for minimizing torque ripple. Real back-EMF waveforms are produced with a magnetic fringing factor and crest width of back-EMF. The performance and characteristics of the proposed control method are analyzed by simulation and verified through experimental results.

Cogging torque will affect the performance of a permanent magnet Brushless DC Motor (BLDCM), thus the reduction of cogging torque is key for BLDCM optimization. In this paper, the phase shifting of cogging torque for a fractional-slot concentrated winding BLDCM is analyzed using the Maxwell tensor method. Moreover, a 9-slot 10-pole concentrated winding BLDCM driven by ideal square waveform is studied with the finite element method (FEM). An effective method to reduce the cogging torque is obtained by adjusting the slot opening. In addition, the influences of different slot openings on back electromotive force (back-EMF), air gap flux density and flux linkage are investigated and experimentally validated using the prototype BLDCM.

For the commutation signal, switching patterns from the sensorless circuit and hall sensor signal are used in the DSP controller.

This paper presents a PLL(Phase Lock Loop) approach for effective speed and torque control of high speed miniature BLDCM(Brushless DC Motor) using hall sensor. The proposed speed control method based on PLL uses only a phase shift between reference pulse signal according to speed reference and actual pulse signal from hall sensor. It doesn't use any speed calculation, and calculates a direct current reference from phase shift. The current reference is changed to reduce the phase shift between reference and actual pulse. So the actual speed can keep the reference speed. The proposed control scheme is very simple but effective speed control is possible. In order to obtain a smooth torque production, the reference current is changed using acceleration and deceleration slope. The proposed control scheme is verified by experimental results of the 50W, 40,000[rpm] high speed miniature BLDCM.

일반적인 BLDCM은 슬롯을 갖고 있기 때문에 코깅 토크가 발생하며, 이로 인하여 토크 리플이 증가한다. 이러한 슬롯을 제거한 슬롯리스 BLDCM은 원인적으로 코깅이 존재하지 않으며, 슬롯의 제거로 인하여 이 부분에서의 철손도 발생하지 않게 된다. 따라서, 우수한 효율과 코깅이 없음으로 인하여, 이러한 특성이 요구되는 특수 분야 뿐 아니라, 일반적인 분야에서도 수요가 기대되는 바이다. 본 연구에서는 슬롯리스형 BLDCM에 대하여 일반 BLDCM과 비교되는 특성을 해석하여 성능의 우수성을 보인다.

Generally, 2 phase excited brushless DC motor(BLDCM) operates only in the region of constant trapezoidal back-EMF on each phase. Therefore the efficiency decreases in comparison with 3phase excited BLDCM. This paper proposes the relation between the usage ratio of voltage and the change of fewer delivery of BLDCM according to extension of conduction intervals.
