In the single-phase switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive, the required DC source is generally supplied by the circuit consisting of bridge rectifier and large filter capacitor connected with DC line terminal. Due to the large capacity of the capacitor, the charged time of capacitor is very short from the AC source. Lead to the bridge rectifiers draws pulsating current from the AC source side, which results in reduction of power factor and low system efficiency. Therefore a novel single-phase SRM drive system is presented in this paper, which includes drive circuit realizing reduction of torque ripple and improvement of power factor with a novel switching topology. The proposed drive circuit consists of one switching part and diode, which can separate the output of AC/DC rectifier from the large capacitor and supply power to SRM alternately, in order to realize the torque ripple reduction and power factor improvement through the switching scheme. In addition, the validity of the proposed method is tested by some simulations and experiments.

This paper presents a high efficiency direct instantaneous torque control (DITC) of Switched Reluctance Motor(SRM) based on the nonlinear model. The DITC method can reduce the high inherent torque ripple of SRM drive system, but drive efficiency is somewhat low due to the high current and switching loss during commutations. In order to reduce a torque ripple, a fast torque reference trajectory is selected at every instantaneous rotor position. Based on the nonlinear model of SRM, the developing torque by one phase is fixed and the other phase is regulated for minimum switchings of phase switch and variation of torque. The switching during commutation can be reduced and fast commutation can be obtained in the proposed method. As a result, drive efficiency could be improved as well as torque ripple reduction. The validity of proposed method is verified by computer simulations and comparative experiments.

Generally, we often use a speed sensor based on a rotary encoder and we can obtain a speed information by counting the increased or decreased number of encoder pulses in a sampling period. However, these speed measurement systems do not inherently produce a true, instantaneous speed information and them the speed ripple is generated by speed measurement errors. In order to overcome this problem, speed observer is used for the accurate speed measurement and improvement of speed ripple for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) in this paper. Speed observer estimates the instantaneous speed at each sampling instant. This estimated speed signal is then used as the speed feedback signal for the speed loop control. The proposed speed observer system is proved simulation using SABER simulation S/W.

In this paper, a new current control algorithm is proposed for four-switch three-phase brushless DC(BLU) motor drives, which are suitable for low cost applications. A current reference generation scheme is developed and Implemented to obtain high performance characteristics in the four-switch system, such as small torque ripple and fast dynamic speed/torque response. Moreover, the proposed scheme can successful1y eliminate the torque ripple during commutations, so that it can be expected that the four-switch system can be much more practically applied for the industrial application areas.

Transverse flux machine (TFM) has been developed to drive a machine of large input power at low-speed. However, it has complicated structure and large torque ripple due to its inherent structure In this paper the characteristics of torque of a rotatory two-phase TFM are analyzed by using the 3-dimensional finite to element method and optimal design. This research shows that one of the effective design variables is the skew angle of permanent magnet. The skew angles of permanent magnet are optimized by using a Progressive Quadratic Response Surface Method (PQRSM). It also shows that the proposed optimal skew magnet not only increases average torque but also decreases torque ripple of a rotatory two-phase TFM.

This paper presents new speed control strategy for periodic load torque injected in AC motor. If motor drive system has a periodic load torque, it causes a periodic motor speed ripple bringing about vibrations and noises. This paper proposed new control method consisting of PIR(proportional-integral-resonant) controller and repetitive controller. PIR controller controls DC, low frequency and fundamental components and repetitive controller controls other harmonics. The performance has been verified through computer simulations using MATLAB Simulink and experiments.

This paper present a method of current control for torque ripple reduction in brushless dc motor which have a trapezoid back EMF. In such drives the current ripples are generated by motor inductance in stator windings and the back EMF. The ripples suppression techniques that are practically effective in high speed as well as in low speed regions are rarely found. The proposed method here is based on a strategy that the commutation intervals of the incoming ang the outgoing phases can be equalized by a proper PWM control.

A class D digital audio amplifier with small size, low cost, and high quality is positively necessary in the multimedia era. Since the digital audio amplifier is based on the PWM signal processing, it is improper to analyze the principle of signal generation using linear system theories. In this paper, a class D digital audio amplifier based ADSM (Advanced Delta-Sigma Modulation) is considered. We first model the digital audio amplifier and then explain the operation principle using variable structure control algorithm. Moreover, the ripple signal generated by the hysteresis in the comparator has a significant effect on the system performance. Thus, we present a method to find the magnitude and the frequency of the ripple signal using describing function. Finally, simulations and experiments are provided to show the validity of the proposed methods.

Miniature BLDC is widely used in industrial applications because of high driving efficiency and high torque characteristic. Otherwise the general BLDC, torque ripple of a high speed miniature BLDC is serous during conduction due to the very low electrical time constant.
