In many industrial applications that use the electric motors robust controllers are needed. The method using a neural network in order to design a robust controller when a disturbance occurs is studied. Backpropagation algorithm, which is used in a conventional neural network controller is used in many areas, but when the number of neurons in the input layer, hidden layer and output layer of the neural network increases the processing speed of the learning process is slow. In this paper an adaptive PI(Proportional and Integral) controller based on CTRNN(Continuous Time Recurrent Neural Network) for permanent magnet synchronous motors is presented. By varying the load and the speed the validity of the proposed method is verified through simulation and experiments.

This paper deals with magnetic field and characteristic analysis for ring type slotless synchronous motors by using analytical method. Since magnetic air-gap in the slotless motors is much larger than mechanical air-gap, it is necessary to analyze the magnetic flux distribution at the whole magnetic airgap region. therefore, this paper analyzes the duplicated magnetic field derived by both Permanent Magnet(PM) and armature current and estimates the back electromotive force and torque characteristic by subdividing the conductor region. The analysis results are verified by comparing with Finite Element Analysis(FEA) results.

This paper proposes a new adaptive speed controller to achieve a robust speed control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM). The proposed adaptive regulator does not require any information on the motor parameter and load torque values, so it is very insensitive to model parameter and load torque variations. Also, the stability of the proposed adaptive control system is proven. To validate the robustness of the proposed adaptive speed controller, both simulation and experimental results are provided under motor parameter and load torque variations. It is clearly demonstrated that the proposed adaptive regulator can accurately control the speed of permanent magnet synchronous motors.

This paper presents a new fuzzy speed controller based on a fuzzy angular acceleration observer to realize a robust speed control of permanent magnet synchronous motors(PMSM). The proposed speed controller needs the information of the angular acceleration, thus the first-order fuzzy acceleration observer is designed. The LMI existence condition is given for the proposed fuzzy speed controller, and the gain matrices of the controller are calculated. It is verified that the augmented control system consisting of the fuzzy speed controller and the fuzzy acceleration observer is mathematically stable. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed acceleration observer-based fuzzy speed controller, the simulation and experimental results are shown under motor parameter variations. It is definitely proven that the proposed control scheme can precisely track the speed of a permanent magnet synchronous motor.

Recently, more attention has been paid to the development of high-speed permanent magnet (PM) synchronous motors, since they are conductive to high efficiency, high power density, small size, and low weight. In high-speed PM machines, core loss and windage loss form a larger proportion of the total losses than usual in conventional mid- or low speed machines. This article deals with the analysis on the core loss and windage loss in PM synchronous motor for high-speed application. Using the data information from a manufacturer and non-linear curve fitting, this paper investigates the magnetic behavior and its core losses in the stator core using the electrical steels. And, the windage loss is calculated according to the variation of the rotational speed, motor inner pressure and temperature.

The line-start permanent magnet synchronous motor has a high efficiency and an advantage in constant speed operation regardless of the effect of load variation. However, it is difficult to predict the performance of characteristics accurately, because of the unbalanced starting torque with the initial starting position of the rotor and the generation of a break torque. In this paper the dynamic characteristics of the line-start permanent magnet synchronous motor are described and compared with those of the squirrel-cage induction motor through the simulation to find the characteristics of the permanent magnets and the rotor bars in the line-start permanent magnet synchronous motor. Finally this paper gives the comparison between the simulation results and the experimental results.

Linear permanent magnet synchronous motors utilize high-energy product permanent magnet to produce high thrust, velocity and acceleration. Such motors are finding applications requiring high positioning accuracy and speed response, for example, machine tools, in the absence of mechanical gears and ball screw systems. A disadvantage of the linear motors is high power loss in comparison with rotary motors. For the application of the linear motors to machine tools, it is required to use water coolers and to improve the thermal behavior through insulation and structure optimization or control strategies. This paper presents the function of the secondary part of the linear synchronous motor as to the thermal behavior and the improving method. The result shows cooling pipe combined with an insulation layer is a suitable design for improving of the thermal behavior.

Speed and torque controls of permanent magnet synchronous motors are usually attained by the application of position and speed sensors. However, speed and position sensors require the additional mounting space, reduce the reliability in harsh environments and increase the cost of a motor. Therefore, many studies have been peformed for the elimination of speed and position sensors. This paper investigates a novel speed sensorless control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor. The proposed control strategy is based on the MRAS(Model Reference Adaptive System) using the state observer model with the current error feedback and the magnet flux model as two models for the back-emf estimation. The proposed algorithm is verified through the simulation and experiment.

The traditional speed and pole position sensors, which are inevitable to drive the permanent magnet synchronous motors, are removed by the parameter identification using model reference adaptive systems. Also, the current detecting method is proposed on the synchronously rotating axis without the position information, and this enables the implementation of the proposed algorithm. The proposed methods have been confirmed both by digital simulation and experiments.
