In this paper, we propose a brushless DC motor drive system for active knee prosthesis and low-cost estimation method for phase current from DC-link current. To control motor torque directly, current sensing is very important and current sensing point should be synchronized with voltage switching command to minimize the effect of switching noise in current measurement, For maintaining small form factor, simplifying control schemes and achieving low-cost system, control schemes using DC-link current are used. Moreover, we incorporated phase current estimation method using analog MUX for minimizing current estimation error between DC-link current and phase current. The validity of the proposed system is verified through experimental works.

Recently, it is increased to apply sensorless drive for BLDC (Brushless DC) motor to household electrical appliances, especially in the refrigerators and air conditioners, to reduce the cost and the acoustic noise by the operation and to make their functions more comfortable for human beings. In this paper, low-cost sensorless drive for BLDC motor is implemented by random PWM (Pulse Width Modulation). The experimental results show that the electromagnetic noise was reduced and the sound quality was improved by BLDC motor sensorless random PWM Control.

This paper is proposed the vector control of 3-phase induction motor drive system by photovoltaic generation. For performance of vector control using a current control voltage source inverter(CC-VSI). CC-VSI is controlled by torque and flux producing component of motor current, relating with current and voltage value of photovoltaic arrays at maximum power point that varies follow different level of insolation. The MPPT using a DC-DC converter controlled the duty cycle to track maximum power from PV under different insolation conditions. The simulation results are shown that the characteristics and performance of drive system, which varies as each conditions of light by expresses in voltage($V_{dq}$), current($I_{dq}$), speed of motor and torque.

This paper is studied the new speed control system of the DC motor which can drive constant speed at variable load as well as reduce the homonics. System is used thyristor-Leonard circuit with 2-tap in order to reduce the homonics problems due to chopping dc input voltage in chopper system and semiconductor devices in thyristor-Leonard system. There is added to the PLL system to drive the constant speed in variable Load, which has controlled of variable speed in DC motor. Thereby, we have proved its through experiment.

This paper shows enhanced working performance of the battery fork-lift truck by developing the IGBT full bridge dc-dc convertor using one-chip micro-processor. The PWM pulse is generated from a 16 bit one-chip micro-processor for the speed control of DC motor. In order to ensure the operation of IGBT and motor pecewisely, IGBT gate drive circuit was designed by using current limiting IC and hige voltage limit IC. And also It is able to regenerative braking.

Through bode diagram, stability of digital controlled push-pull converter is analyzed. To verify the proposed system, digital simulation of the induction motor drive using digital push-pull converter are performed.

This paper presents a study on the operation of a digitally controlled DC servo motor drive at low speed region. Two schemes aiming to improve the transient behavior of the speed control system are considered. The first scheme is the current positive feedback scheme to reduce the sensitivity of the system with respect to the load torque variations. The second one is the speed observer based on a motor model. Finally, the two schemes are studied by simulation and then verified experimetally using a prototype DC motor drive.

This paper describes an indirect sensing method for the rotor flux position of interior permanent magnet (IPM) brushless DC motors. The phase inductances of an IPM motor vary appreciably according to the rotor position. The waveform characteristics of the terminal voltage of IPM brushless DC motors is analysed and a simple and practical method for indirect sensing of the rotor position is proposed. A compact and economical sensorless drive is implemented and tested using a 87c196mc 16-bit one-chip microprocessor. The experimental results show the validity of the proposed method. The drive is applied to drive a compressor of air-conditioner and works well from 1,200 to 6,600 [rpm].

This paper presents a method to detect a rotor position and to drive a BLDC motor from standstill to medium speed without any position sensor comparing the current responses due to the inductance variation in the rotor position. A rotor position at a standstill is identified by the current responses of six pulses injected to each phase of a motor. Once the motor stars up pulse train that is composed of long and short pulses is injected to the phase corresponding to produce the maximum torque and the next phase continuously. it provides not only the torque but also the information of the next commutation time effectively when the response of long and short pulses crosses each other after the same time delay. This method which is verified experimentally using a DSP can drive a BLDC motor to the medium speed smoothly without any rattling and time delay compared with the conventional sensorless algorithm.
