In the variable speed driving system of a three phase induction motor controlled by a PWM inverter, the output terminal contains considerable amount of harmonic components of the voltage waveform due to the switching action of semiconductor devices, causing torque ripples, acoustic noise and oscillation of the motor. This paper describes a new algorithm which eliminates the harmonics and controls the fundamental voltage in three phase PWM inverter output waveform. The new algorithm utilizes the technique of particular harmonics elimination (PHE) by walsh series in three phase PWM inverter output waveform. A microprocessor (8086 CPU)-controlled three phase induction motor system is described to realize this algorithm. The system is designed for 3 phase output voltage in the 1-60Hz interval where 5th and 7th harmonics, and 5th, 7th, 11th, and 13th harmonics are eliminated. Also, the fundamental wave amplitude is designed to be proportional to the output frequency. The performance of the proposed method shows sufficient elimination of the harmonics and also reduction of computation time which determines switching pattern. The proposed PWM pattern by Walsh series, is effective not only to induction motors but also to other electromagetic equipments such as voltage regulators and UPS.

Cogging torque has a negative impact on the operation of permanent magnet machines by increasing torque ripple, speed ripple, acoustic noise and vibration. In this paper Magnet Shifting Method has been used as a tool to reduce the cogging torque in inset Line Start Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (LSPMSM). It has been shown that Magnet Shifting Method can effectively eliminate several lower-order harmonics of cogging torque. In order to implement the method, first the expression of cogging torque is studied based on the Fourier analysis. An analytical expression is then introduced based on Permanent Magnet Shifting to reduce cogging torque of LSPMS motors. The method is applied to some existing machine designs and their performances are obtained using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The effect of magnet shifting on pole mmf (magneto motive force) distribution in air gap is discussed. The side effects of magnet shifting on back-EMF, core losses and torque profile distortion are taken into account in this investigation. Finally the experimental results on two prototypes 24 slot 4 pole inset LSPMS motors have been used to validate the theoretical analysis.

The aeroacoustic characteristics of a centrifugal fan for a vacuum cleaner and its noise reduction method are studied in this paper. The major noise source of a vacuum cleaner is the centrifugal fan. The impeller of the fan rotates at over 30000 rpm, and generates very high-level noise. It was revealed that the dominant noise source is the aerodynamic interaction between the rotating impeller and stationary diffuser. The directivity of acoustic pressure showed that most of the noise propagates backward direction of the fan-motor assembly. In order to reduce the high tonal sound generated from the aerodynamic interaction, unevenly pitched impeller and diffuser, and tapered impeller designs were proposed and experiments were performed. Uneven pitch design of the impeller changes the sound quality while the overall sound power level (SPL) and the performance remains similar. The effect of the tapered design of impeller was evaluated. The trailing edge of the tapered fan is inclined. This reduces the flow interaction between the rotating impeller and the stationary diffuser because of some phase shifts. The static efficiency of the new impeller design is slightly lower than the previous design. However, the overall SPL is reduced by about 4 dB(A). The SPL of the fundamental blade passing frequency (BPF) is reduced by about 6 dB (A) and the 2$\^$nd/ BPF is reduced about 20 dB (A). The vacuum cleaner with the tapered impeller design produces lower noise level than the previous one, and the strong tonal sound was dramatically reduced.

BLDC (Brushless DC) 전동기는 선형적인 토크 대 전류, 속도 대 전압특성을 갖고 있으며 기계적 전기적인 잡음이 없고, 가감속 제어가 용이하며, 토크 대 관성의 비가 매우 높아 소형으로 높은 출력을 낼 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 전기자 전류의 전환 (Commutation)시 고정자 권선의 인덕턴스 성분과 역기전력으로 인해 발생되는 전류리플은 BLDC 전동기의 구동시 발생되는 토크리플의 중요한 원인이 되어, 고정밀 서보계통에 대한 응용에 큰 장애가 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 퓨리에 시리즈계수를 사용한 새로운 전류제어 알고리즘을 개발하여 상전류 전환시 발생하는 전류리플을 최소화함으로서 토크리플을 현저히 감소 시켰으며, BLDC 전동기의 구동을 위해 널리 사용되고 있는 UNIPOLAR PWM 방식과 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 통해 비교함으로써, 새로운 알고리즘의 효용성을 입증하고자 한다.

자동차 외장 디자인은 차량의 첫인상을 만들지만, 엔지니어링 입장에서는 공력 및 바람소리 성능에 중요한 요소이다. 외장 디자인은 차량의 프로토 타입 시점에 변경하기는 불가능하기 때문에 차량 초기 디자인 단계에서 외장 디자인을 점검하고, 바람소리 수준을 예측하는 것이 중요하게 된다. 외장 디자인 요소 중 차량 바람소리에 중요한 A필라와 와이퍼에 대한 바람소리 해석 기법은 개발되어 적용되고 있으나, 해석 및 모델링 과정이 복잡하고 시간이 많이 소모되기 때문에 엔지니어입장에서 디자이너 및 설계자와 함께 A필라 및 와이퍼 형상별 기여도를 검토하기엔 시간적인 여유가 부족하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 최적화를 위하여 A필라 형상 및 와이퍼 형상에 따라 바람소리 해석 S/W인 PowerFLOW(PowerClay 모델링 S/W, SEA-Baced(Statistical Energy Analysis-Based) 실내소음 해석툴, Turbulent Acoustic Power 해석툴)를 이용하여 실내소음을 해석적으로 예측하고, 예측한 결과를 이용하여 반응 표면법을 이용하는 최적화 S/W인 modeFRONTIER를 이용하여 디자인 요소에 대한 반응면을 구축하여, 디자인 요소와 실내 소음간의 상관성을 구성하여, 디자인 단계에서 A필라와 와이퍼에 의한 바람소리 수준을 예측하였다. 최적화 결과 및 반응면 구축 예측 결과에 대하여 실제 시험을 통하여 예측 경향성을 판단하고, 해석 및 예측에 대한 신뢰성을 확인하였다. 최종적으로 해석 및 반응면 구축 과정을 통하여 A필라 및 와이퍼에 대한 차종별 CAT(Computer Aided Test) 분석툴을 개발하고, 실제 차량 개발 과정에 적용하여 효용성을 확인하였다.

In variable speed driving system of three phase induction motor controlled by an inverter, because of the switching of semiconductor devices in inverter, an appreciable amount of harmonic components of voltage waveform can cause the motor to generate losses, torque ripple, acoustic noise and oscillation of semiconductor devices. In this paper a new PAM type PWM inverter using IGBT is described. The output waveforms in the proposed PAM type PWM inverter are investigated both theoretiically and experimentally. The line-voltage waveform is composed of fundamental component and the sidebands of carrier frequency. The lower order harmonics are not included in the output wave form. As each inverter arm does not operate during two-thirds period, the heats, generated in the devices are reduced. That is, the size of the inverter system can he minimized because of the reduction in the heat dissipating equipment.

Recently, fluid dynamic bearings (EDBs) have important applications in miniature rotating machines such as those found in the computer information storage industry, due to their outstanding low acoustic noise and NRRO (Non-Repeatable Run Out) characteristics. This research investigates the dynamic behavior of fluid dynamic bearings composed of hydrodynamic herringbone groove journal and spiral groove thrust bearing. The five degrees of freedom of FDB are considered to describe the real motion of a general rotor bearing system. The Reynolds equation and five nonlinear equations of motion for the dynamic behavior are solved simultaneously, The incompressible Reynolds equation is solved by using the finite element method (FEM) in order to calculate the pressure distribution in a fluid film and the five equations of motion by using the Runge-Kutta method. The reaction forces and moments are obtained by integrating the pressure along the fluid film. Numerical results are validated by comparing with the previously published experimental and numerical results. As a result the dynamic behavior of FDB spindle such as orbit, floating height, and angular orbit is investigated by considering the conical motion under the static and dynamic load conditions.

본 논문에서는 스텝모터(step motor)에 대한 PLL(phase locked loop) 타입의 위치제어 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 제어 방법은 기존의 개루프(open loop) 위치제어 방법의 주요 문제점인 급 가, 감속 시의 탈조 현상을 발생시키지 않으며 정지마찰력 때문에 발생되는 정상상태 위치오차를 완전히 없애준다. 또한 고속에서 더 큰 토크를 발생하여 구동 가능한 속도제어 범위가 더 크며 진동과 소음도 줄여준다. 제안된 제어기의 성능을 확인하기 위해 시뮬링크(Simulink)를 이용하여 스텝모터에 대해 시뮬레이션 한 결과를 제시한다.

This paper presents comparative research on characteristics of air-cored and iron-cored high-temperature superconductor (HTS) field winding synchronous motors. The 100 kW air-cored model is designed analytically by Spatial Harmonic Method, and based on this model, the iron-cored model having the same output power is designed for comparison. Due to the substantial difference of permeability property between air and iron-core, there is a difference of magnetic field magnitude and angle with respect to the HTS tape c-axis, resulting in a different critical current of the field winding considering the anisotropic property of HTS tape. For a detailed comparison between two models, the following key motor characteristics are calculated through the Finite Element Method (FEM) simulation: 1) critical current; 2) HTS wire length; and 3) torque characteristics. From the simulation results, it can be confirmed that the critical current value of the iron-cored model increases by 33 %. Also, in the case of the superconducting wire consumption, those of the iron-cored and air-cored models are 95.3 m and 815.6 m, respectively. So the wire usage can be reduced to about 88 % by using iron core. However, in terms of torque characteristics, the torque ripple of the iron-cored model is about twice as large as that of the air-cored model, which may be a disadvantage on vibration and acoustic noise.
