Generally, brushless DC motor(BLDCM) driving system uses hall sensors or encoders as the mechanical position or speed sensors. It is necessary to achieve the informations of rotor position for driving trapezoidal type brushless DC motor without any position sensor. This paper proposes a sensorless driving system with rotor absolute position detector circuit which acquires both commutate phase and commutate time by analyzing motor phase voltages. Proposed system is applied to a 10k[W] rating motor which actually used in electrical vehicles of HONDA co.,ltd. The experimental results will show the validity of the proposed system and the practical use of proposed sensorless drive algorithm.

In order to verify the lift enhancement of the 2D hydrofoil with trailing edge rotor and check the ability of its practical use, experimental studies were conducted in the caviation tunnel using the test model with NACA0020 section. The three-component forces acting on the model could be measured by exclusively designed sting type multi-component load cell. The trailing edge of the model has been replaced with rotor which could be controlled by DC servo motor installed at the exterior of the tunnel. A typical effect of the trailing edge rotor has been introduced among the systematic experiments on various angular deviation of the model and the rotational velocity of the trailing edge rotor. It is appeared that the circulation control effect could be easily adjusted by selecting the rotational velocity of the trailing edge rotor and the lift force was augmented more than two times. Thus the proposed lifting device could be utilized as a novel high lifting device which has adjustability of lift force.

Generally, Slotless PM BLDC drive system is necessary that the three Hall-ICs evenly be distributed around the stator circumference and encoder be installed in case of the 3 phase motor. So, the Hall-ICs are set up in this motor to detect the main flux from the rotor, and the output signal from Hall-ICs is used to drive a power transistor to control the winding current. However, instead of using three Hall-ICs and encoder, we used only two Hall-ICs for the permanent magnet rotor position and for the speed feedback signals, and also for a microcontroller of 16-bit type (80C196KC) with the 3 phase Slotless PM BLDC whose six stator and two rotor designed. Two Hall-IC Hc and $H_B$ are placed on the endplate at 120 degree intervals, and with these elements, we can estimate information of the others phase in sequence through a rotating rotor.

Optimization method for the open loop commutation time intervals in HDD spindle start-up control is presented in this paper. A hard disk drive(HDD) uses a sensorless brushless DC motor(BLDC) for the platter rotation. Because there is no direct sensor for the rotor position, open loop commutations after sensing the rotor position at a standstill using inductive sensing method are performed to speed up the rotor up to a certain speed where the zero crossings of the back electromotive force(EMF) are measurable. Therefore successful open loop commutations are necessary for the stable start-up control of the spindle motors. Random neighborhood search(RNS) algorithm is introduced as a optimization technic in this paper. Rotor speed and its standard deviation are used as a cost function and commutation intervals obtained from the spindle motion equation are used as initial parameter values for the RNS. With the help of the proposed method optimized open loop commutation time intervals for the very low start-up current are acquired and tested. The experimental results shows that the proposed method can decrease the start-up failure rate of a HDD spindle motor.

Several methods of induction motor drives which used speed estimators instead of shaft encoders have been reported. However those speed sensorless systems with estimators employing stator voltates and currents usually deteriorates as the speed gets lower because it is difficult to calculate the accurate rotor flux under the influence of DC-offset and saturation of integrators. In this paper to calculate rotor flux at low speed the new rotor flux estimator which replaces integra-tors with two lag circuits is proposed. Simulation and experiment results confirm the validity of this control scheme.

In this paper, an improved rotor speed estimation in DFIG wind turbine systems based on a cascaded SOGI is proposed. Due to excellent harmonics and DC offset rejection capability of the cascaded SOGI, the accurate rotor speed estimation can be achieved despite the harmonics and sensing offset in DFIG currents. The simulation results have verified the validity of proposed method.

In brushless DC motors (BLDC), the on/off angle of the switch is determined by the optimal alignment of the stator and rotor, while switched reluctance motors (SRM) are complex parameters with many on/off angles of the switch. It appears as a function and therefore the switching angle is variable for optimal operation. Therefore, in order to operate the switched reluctance motor (SRM) optimally, the rotor position can be detected using a high resolution position sensor and a complicated additional circuit. In this paper, rotor position detection and related position detection circuits are applied and detected by using various sensors such as encoder, hall sensor and opto interrupter among several methods to drive switched reluctance motor (SRM). Also a study on securing the initial position of the rotor was conducted.
