Brushless DC motor(BLDCM) are suitable to operate in a wide speed range, easy to control and since there are no mechanical brushes and commutators, require low maintenance costs and are free from restrictions of application environment. And since the ratio of instantaneous torque and rated torque is high, BLDCM are appropriate for variable speed operation. This paper proposes the optimal model by using Matlab/simulink based on modelling and characteristic analysis of trapezoidal back EMF type BLDCM and verifies the validity of the proposed model by applying control systems.

A sensorless velocity control strategy for permanent magnet synchronous motors is presented in this paper. Two stator currents are measured and processed in discrete form in DSP. The rotor position and speed are estimated through the stator flux linkage and its derivative estimation. Flux and its derivative are calculated in the stationary reference frame and used to estimate the speed and position. The closed-loop speed control has been shown to be effective from standstill to rated speed. Moreover, a flux drift problem caused by the integration can be eliminated so that a stable sensorless starting and running operation can be achieved. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

This paper explained algorithm for a initial pole position estimation of a permanent magnet linear synchronous motor(PMLSM). Generally this motor is considered initial pole position with a position sensor such as incremental encoder for the precise initial pole position estimation and high performance. But this is based on the principle that the initial pole position is accomplished by the PI controller using the maximum values of a position error generated by the new proposed two reference frames and also by using a rated force for input. the proposed algorithm does not utilize the general methods such as impedance ratio, EMF and using the magnetic saturation. In other words, this can be applied without respect to variety of the motor structure because of insensitivity to the motor parameters. In conclusion, simulation results are presented to confirm performance of initial pole position estimation method.

A single phase induction motor (SPIM) rated in fractional horsepower is widely used in home and industrial equipment: washing machines, fans, refrigerators, etc. In this paper, authors present the experimental results of the SPIM under controlling of currents of main and auxiliary windings by using a one-chip micro stator(OMS). This new starting method is developed to replace the conventional starting device consisted with a mechanical switch and a capacitor. In mentioned method, the soft-starting of SPIM is simply implemented and higher efficiency is obtained in comparison with conventional condenser type SPIM.

Fractional horse power single phase induction motors have no starting torque their own. So there are several ways of starting single phase induction motors. The most common type is the starting capacitor installed in series with the auxiliary winding to increase the starting torque. Also, the auxiliary winding is disconnected once the speed of the motor reaches 70 to 80 [%] of the rated speed. In the conventional systems, this function is conducted by a centrifugal switch. But the mechanical centrifugal switch has many problems such as switch malfunction. This paper presents the new methods of electronic starting switch by inductor to overcome these shortcomings of centrifugal switch.

Superconducting windings of synchronous machine have to be operated in below the critical temperature, critical current density and critical magnetic field. If one of these characteristics does not satisfied, then the quench occurred in superconducting winding. Especially the armature current dramatically increased as the superconducting generator is short-circuited at the rated load condition and magnetic field in field winding increased due to the armature current. Therefore, damper is required to reduce the magnetic field of field winding which increases reliability of the superconducting generator. Damper dimension can be decided by time constant[1-2]. In this paper the basic model is high-power and low-speed superconducting generator. Damper time constant was calculated from the changed damper thickness and material. Magnetic flux of field coil at the basic model and changed damper time constant model is analyzed.

The current carrying conductor and the tank which consist of GIS must be properly designed to withstand the electrical, thermal and mechanical stresses that arise during normal service and during short-circuit conditions. In order to design the current carrying conductor for EHV GIS, it is important to consider temperature-rise when rated current flows. In this paper, we analyze magnetic field distribution and power-loss, according to the change of materials when AC current flows into single-phase and three-phase bus bar, respectively. These results will be used as the basic design data when determining dimensions and materials for the current carrying conductor of EHV GIS.

In this paper, we studied the development of the electronic ballast for 250W MH (Metal-Halide) lamps. We were able to improve the input power factor by using a PFC IC. To provide the lamp with the rated voltage required, we used the buck-type dc-dc converter. The stress of the switching devices in the inverter could be reduced by this method. To eliminate the acoustic resonance phenomena of MH lamps, the voltage of the lamp added the high frequency sine-wave to the low frequency square-wave by using the full bridge typed inverter. We have developed a simple igniter using the L and C elements. We could control the dimness of the lamp by varying the output voltage of the buck converter. The buck converter output voltage could be controlled by using a microprocessor.

This paper presents a nonconventional method for oft starting of three-phase induction motors, which achieved by flux weakening technique. flux weakening is not done by reducing the applied voltage as in the conventional methods, Flus weakening is achieved y increasing the supply frequency over the rated value while the voltage amplitude is kept constant. This method has advantage of reducing the stress on the electrical and mechanical systems. The feasibility of this basic idea has been confirmed through investigating the starting transient corresponding to this mode of operation. For this purpose, a rigorous state space mathematical model has been developed and simulated. The validity of the proposed method through the results from the mathematical model have been confirmed experimentally.

Small-scale motor-generator sets have been used in laboratories for verification of real large wind turbines whose rated power are more than 1 MW. In this paper, a result of designing a small-scale motor-generator system, which is composed of motor, gear box, flywheel, and generator, is presented in the aspect of speed response. Design objective is to make a small-scale motor-generator system have the same time constant and optimal tip speed ratio region as a real MW wind turbine. A small-scale 3.5 kW motor-generator system for emulating response of a 2 MW wind turbine is considered and designed.
