This paper presents characteristics analysis of brushless DC motor(BLDCM) which is driven by four types of PWM mode. The Phase current, radial forte and torque ripples are generated differently at each PWM mode. So they have different influences on motor characteristics. In this paper, we analyzed characteristics of BLDCM using time-stepped voltage source finite element method. The effect of four types of PWM mode had been confirmed by comparing each phase current and torque ripple waveform. The compared simulation result is useful to select a better PWM mode.

The sensorless speed control technique for BLDC motor using digital IP control is proposed in this paper for advanced speed characteristic which is robust to motor parameters and load variations. The sensorless drive of BLDC motor using terminal voltages is affected by load or speed because it uses analog filters to estimate the rotor position. For this reason, the robust speed controller with the accurate rotor position estimator is needed for sensorless control which is robust to load and insensitive to motor parameters. The constant speed robust to load variation and the stable sensorless control of BLDC motor robust to the increase or decrease of speed with constant load is implemented using digital IP control in this paper. The validity to these is established with experimentation.

In this paper we proposed a model of a fault diagnosis expert system with high reliability to compare identical well-functioning motors. The purpose of the survey was to determine if any differences exit among these identical motors and to identify exactly what these differences were, if in fact they were found. Using measured data for many identical brushless dc motors, this study attempted to find out whether normal and fault can be classified by each other. Measured data was analyzed using the State Transition Model (STM). Based on a proposed STM method, the effect of a different normal state is minimized and the detection of fault is improved in identical motor system. Experimental results are presented to prove that STM method could be a useful tool for diagnosing the condition of identical BLDE motors.

A new control method for the precision robust position control of a brushless DC(BLDC) motor for direct drive m motor(BLDDM) system using the asymptotically stable adaptive load torque observer is presented. A precision position c control is obtained for the BLDD motor system appro성mately linearized using the fieldlongrightarroworientation method. Many of t these motor systems have BLDD motor to obtain no backlashes. On the other hand, it has disadvantages such as the h high cost and more complex controller caused by the nonlinear characteristics. And the load torque disturbance is d directly affected to a motor shaft. To r밍ect this problem, stability analysis is calTied out using Lyapunov stability t theorem. Using this results, the stability is proved and load disturbance detected by the asymptotically stable adaptive observer is compensated by feedforwarding the equivalent CUlTent having the fast response.

The thermal reliability of the closed-type BLDC motor for the high speed axial fans is analyzed by a numerical method in this paper. Since the module and the motor part are combined in a closed case, the heat generated from a rotor in the motor and the electronic components in the PCB module can not be effectively removed to the outside. Therefore the module will easily fail by high temperature. The accelerated-life testing was accomplished to formulate the life equation and numerical method is used to predict the inside temperature of the PCB module, which is one of the life equation parameter according to the environment. When the environment temperature of BLDC motor is 21, 35 and 50 $^{\circ}C$, the temperature in the PCB space is predicted as 73.4, 87.5 and 102.4 $^{\circ}C$. Then the life time with the temperature are calculated as 2,239, 863 and 328 hours.

Acoustic noise and vibration of a BLDC motor is a coupled phenomenon between mechanical characteristics and electromagnetic origins through the motor air-gap. When a relative misalignment of rotor in the air-gap center exists on the assemblage, it is considered to influence the motor system characteristics. In this paper, the back electro motive force(BEMF) is analyzed by Finite Element Method(FEM) and verified by experiments for the SPM and IPM type motors. For magnetic field analysis, a FEM is used to account for the magnetic saturation. Using these results, the FEM is made to determine the appropriate electromagnetic field analysis in BLDC motors with rotor eccentricity ratio. A radial magnetic imbalance force of BLDC motor with rotor eccentricity is analyzed. Results demonstrate that the imbalance force is increased according to the degree of misalignment. An IPM motor, mostly chosen to realize high-speed operation, shows a worse effect on magnetic unbalanced forces and dynamic responses compared with SPM motor due to magnetic saturation when the rotor eccentricity exists.

For high efficiency and easy speed control of brushless DC (BLDC) motor, the demand of BLDC motor is increasing. Especially demand of interior permanent magnet (IPM) BLDC with high efficiency and high power in electric motion vehicle is increasing. However, IPM BLDC basically has a high cogging torque that results from the interaction of permanent magnet magnetomotive force (MMF) harmonics and air-gap permeance harmonics due to slotting. This cogging torque generates vibration and acoustic noises during the driving of motor. Thus reduction of the cogging torque has to be considered in IPM BLDC motor design by analytical methods. This paper proposes the cogging torque reduction method for IPM BLDC motor. For reduction of cogging torque of IPM BLDC motor, this paper describes new technique of the flux barriers design. The proposed method uses sinusoidal form of flux density to reduce the cogging torque. To make the sinusoidal air-gap flux density, flux barriers are applied in the rotor and flux barriers that installed in the rotor produce the sinusoidal form of flux density. Changing the number of flux barrier, the cogging torque is analyzed by finite element method. Also characteristics of designed model by the proposed method are analyzed by finite element method.

Servomotors are used as key components of automated system by performing accurate positioning, accurate speed regulation, and precise motion control in response to commands from computers and sensors. Especially linear brushless servomotors have numerous advantages over ball screws, timing belts, rack/pinion drives and friction drives compared with rotary servomotors. This paper proposes the estimation of unknown parameters from the linear brushless DC motor which is operated by sinusoidal commutation. The estimated parameters are used to tune the controller gain and disturbance observer. In order to agree with this purpose, Digital Signal Processor(TMS320F240), developed for implementation of a speed Field Oriented Control(FOC), adopted in this study. The processor playing an important role in controller has A/D converters, PWM generators, riched I/O port internally.
