The hysteresis control method has been frequently used for current control of power conversion equipments or motor drive systems. This method makes the measured signal follow the reference signal by changing the control signal whenever the error signal exceeds the preset band width. In this paper, hysteresis control method with fast response characteristics is applied for active noise control to suppress acoustic noise. Both Pentium processor and sound blaster 16 are used for experimental implementation, which executes A/D, D/A conversion and also is used as operating source of loudspeaker for audible noise cancellation.

In this paper, sunroof buffeting analysis for Hyundai simple model(HSM) is studied computationally. For validation, the velocity profile of boundary layer around the opening of HSM was obtained and compared with experimental results. The analysis of sunroof buffeting is done in two parts. First a steady state solution is obtained using the Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) solver, and then the computed flow field information is used as input for CAA++. Second transient simulation by CAA++ is performed for the peak sound pressure levels and peak frequencies of buffeting noise over the ranges of flow velocities. The benchmark results of frequency and sound pressure levels showed the general phenomena and matched well with the experimental data obtained by Hyundai Motor Car.

Torque ripple control of brushless DC motors has been the persisting issue of the servo drive systems in which the speed fluctuation, vibration and acoustic noise should be minimized. In this paper, a novel approach to achieve the ripple-free torque control with maximum efficiency based on the d-q reference frame is presented and analyzed. The proposed approach can provide the optimized phase current waveforms over wide speed range incorporating cogging torque compensation without an access to the neutral point of the motor windings. Moreover, the undesirable errors caused by the assumptions such as 3 phase balance or symmetry of the phase back EMF between electrical cycles, which are related with the manufacturing imperfections, can be also eliminated. As a result, the proposed approach provides a simple and clear way to obtain the optimal motor excitation currents. A hysteresis current control system is employed to produce high-frequency electromagnetic torque ripples for compensation. The validity and applicability of the proposed control scheme to real situations are verified through the simulations and experimental results.

Recently, a switched reluctance motor is widely used in various industries because it has many advantages such as a simple structure, robustness, less maintenance, high torque/weight ratio, and easy speed control over other types of motors. However, a switched reluctance motor inherently produces acoustic noise and vibration caused by torque ripple. Applications of these motors where silent operation is desirable have thus been limited. In this paper, a new stator pole face having a non-uniform air-gap and a pole shoe attached to the lateral face of the rotor pole are suggested in order to minimize torque ripple. The effects of each design parameter are validated using a time-stepping finite element method. The parameters are optimized by utilizing response surface method (RSM) combined with (1+1) evolution strategy. The result shows that the optimized shape gives higher average torque and drastically reduced torque ripple.

Statistical optimum methodology of table of orthogonal array, ANOM, ANOVA and RSM are applied to formulate optimum allocation design with design variables. It can be minimized average SPL of control volume, the objective function in closed system by optimal allocated positions of absorbing material. Structural natural frequency and acoustic natural frequency of cavity are analyzed by FEM and BEM in the closed system. Using BEM, average SPL of specific control volume is calculated according to the condition before using absorbing material and after using it. It is shown that noise is reduced by $5.02dB_{RMS}$ by absorbing material located at optimal position and minimum $1.83dB_{RMS}$ and maximum $3.47dB_{RMS}$ by the table of orthogonal array.

A new suboptimal PWM is proposed, intended particularly for the reduction of acoustic noise and harmonics of the output current in the inverter-fed induction motor drive system. This strategy is based of the Regular PWM and applied optimal techniqe. And it could solve a problem that computation time is very much when switching strategy is determined at the Optimal PWM. In case that the number of switching increases infinitely, this strategy could determine the switching pattern, and can realize Online, Real time of microprocessor. Also, this strategy is applied to 1(Hp), three phase induction motor, and compared with the other PWMs. From the results, the validity of this strategy could be verified.

BLDCM(Brushless D.C. Motor) is widely used for industrial application because of high efficiency and high power density Especially, in servo system and home appliance, BLBCM is very useful due to high control performance and low acoustic noise. In this paper, 2.5HP rated BLDCM controller and drive was developed for tread mill application. The prototype BLDCM has 4 poles rotor and 24 slots stator. Ferrite was used as a rotor magnet due to the cost and temperature characteristic. For the stable operation of tread mill, over current and high temperature can be detected by the DSP controller. For the commutation signal, switching patterns from the sensorless circuit and hall sensor signal are used in the DSP controller.

A new excitation method of switched reluctance moor drive is described in this paper. This motor produces reluctance torque by mutual action between tyro phases as well as conventional self reluctance torque. The change of self inductance and mutual inductance are used to produce torque. This paper suggests the operational principle, the mechanism of torque product and the driving characteristics of Switched Reluctance Motor with 2 phase excitation against conventional SRM experimentally. The energy conversion ratio is increased because the next phase is excited after one phase is already excited. Acoustic noise of SRM with 2 phase excitation is decreased than that of conventional SRM due to the mechanism of torque production.

Two major obstacles in the utilization of electrical vehicles are their price and range. The collaboration of direct torque control (DTC) with induction motor (IM) is preferred for its low cost, easy implementation, and parameter independency. However, in terms of edges, the method has drawbacks, such as variable switching frequency and undesired current harmonic distortion. These drawbacks result in acoustic noise, reduced efficiency, and electromagnetic interference. A feed-forward approach for stator-flux-oriented DTC with space vector pulse-width modulation is presented in in this paper. The outcome of the proposed method is low current harmonic distortion with fixed switching frequency while preserving the torque performance and simple application feature of basic DTC. The method is applicable to existing and forthcoming IM drive systems via software adaptation. The validity of the proposed method is confirmed by simulation and experimental results.
