In this paper, a novel sensorless brushless DC (BLDC) motor drive method using the fuzzy back-EMF observer is proposed to improve the performance of conventional sensorless drive methods. Most existing back-EMF sensing methods need additional circuit and have a low performance intransient state or low speed range. Therefore, this paper proposes the fuzzy back-EMF observer and an algorithm using this observer to estimate a speed and a position of the rotor. The robustness of the proposed algorithm is proved through the simulation compared with other sensorless drive methods.

This paper deals with the design of a inner rotor type Brushless DC (BLDC) motor for Electric Power Steering to reduce the cogging torque. The effect of the design parameters on the characteristic and cogging torque is analyzed by Finite Element Method (FEM). The considered design parameters are as follows : the number of pole and slot. dead-zone and skew angle. and teeth shape. The winding resistance of each motor is calculated and the characteristic curve is derived from considering reactance drop voltage for original model.

We studied about the rotor design change using a Ferrite ring magnet to reduce material cost in the condition of the same stator core design. However, this design direction has many weak points such as the decrease of BEMF, the low maximum output, the irreversible demagnetization characteristics of a permanent magnet and so on. In order to mitigate such disadvantages, an optimization design of the BLDC motor has been developed by changing each design parameter and by improving the electromagnetic structure. In the proposed water pump SPM BLDC motor using Ferrite magnet, the outer and inner diameter of stator is fixed to the value of the conventional IPM BLDC motor using Nd-Fe-B magnet. The design specification requirements should be satisfied with the same output power and efficiency characteristics in the same dimension. As a result of this study, the design comparison results considering driving performances and material cost are represented. Through the actual experiment with the prototype of the designed motor, the simulations results are verified.

This paper develops a coordinated control strategy of the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) system based on repetitive control (RC) under generalized harmonic grid voltage conditions. The proposed RC strategy in the rotor side converter (RSC) is capable of ensuring smooth DFIG electromagnetic torque that will enable the possible safe functioning of the mechanical components, such as gear box and bearing. Moreover, the proposed RC strategy in the grid side converter (GSC) aims to achieve sinusoidal overall currents of the DFIG system injected into the network to guarantee satisfactory power quality. The dc-link voltage fluctuation under the proposed control target is theoretically analyzed. Influence of limited converter capacity on the controllable area has also been studied. A laboratory test platform has been constructed, and the experimental results validate the availability of the proposed RC strategy for the DFIG system under generalized harmonic grid voltage conditions.

This paper presents an improved approach for compensating rotor position signal displacement in brushless DC (BLDC) motors with misaligned hall-effect sensors. Typically, the hall-effect sensors in BLDC motors are located in each phase and positioned exactly 120 electrical degrees apart. However, limitations in mechanical tolerances make it difficult to place hall-effect sensors at the correct location. In this paper, a position error compensator to counteract the hall-effect sensor positioning error is proposed. The proposed position error compensator uses least squares error analysis to adjust the relative position error and back-EMF information to reduce the absolute offset error. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is verified through several experiments.

This Paper presents a solution to control the Brushless DC Motor(BLDCM) in Digital Lightening Processor(DLP) using the Linear Quadratic Regulator(LQR). Generally, The speed of BLDCM in DLP is controlled by the lead angle control or the input voltage control using PAM(Pulse Amplitude Modulation) etc. These control methods have speed overshoot in speed control and need the long time until BLDCM reaches at the steady state. In order to improve the performance, this paper present the PI speed controller using the LQR based on vector control and the rotor position detection methods at the space vector PWM inverter. The proposed methods are proved by the experimental results

This paper presents design of speed control system for slot less iron-cored PM linear synchronous motor using space vector PWM. the design must be considered by the useable limits of the DC link voltage and dynamic operating rage as well as the characteristics of design parameters in a point of system. Therefore, in this paper, the permissible operating range of manufactured motor by determination of rate speed and rate thrust according to switching scheme of DC link voltage are offered. The vector control requires information about rotor position. And we can need to the Hall sensor for sampling current. In order to agree with this purpose, Digital Signal Processor(TMS320F240x) developed for implementation of a speed Field Oriented Control.

The inverter fed BLDC(Brushless DC) motor has been increasingly applied to industry and home appliances due to the advance of power electronics and permanent magnet technology, and its high efficiency and good acoustic noise characteristics. The BLDC motor and drives, however, require the rotor position sensors that may cause some problems such as the high cost and space. In this paper, sensorless algorithm for an interior permanent magnet BLDC motor is proposed. The maximum torque per ampere operation with advance angle considering load torque and speed was simulated and verified through the experiment.
