Brushless DC motors have trapezoidal back emf waveform. Generally, because it is drived by a voltage source inverter, the ideal rectangular phase current is not available and therefore produce torque ripple. In this paper, the torque ripple due to commutation is analysed and the practical method that can reduce the torque ripple is proposed. Simulation and experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

A control technique which utilizes the stator flux components as control variables has been applied to a speed sensorless induction motor drive. The scheme may be regarded as a development of a DTC scheme, aimed achieve constant switching frequency operation. At each sampling period the required voltage vector is calculated on the basis of the error between the reference and the estimated stator flux vector. The problems related to the VSI dead time and the stator flux estimation at low speed have been analyzed, and an efficient solution has been proposed.

This paper presents a novel hall sensor fault detection and fault-tolerant control method for a high-speed permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive system. A phase locked loop (PLL) type position estimator is used with a conventional interpolation based rotor position estimator to reduce position errors due to misalignment of hall sensors. The expected trigger time of hall sensor's output is used for detecting hall sensor fault condition and the PLL type position estimator is reconfigured for fault-tolerant control at the hall sensor fault condition. The proposed method can minimize current ripples during the transition from sensored control using hall sensors to sensorless control. Experimental results have been proposed to prove the validity of the proposed method.

Position estimation that uses only active phase voltage and current is presented, to perform high accuracy position sensorless control of a SRM drive. By extracting the amplitude of the first switching harmonic terms of phase voltage and current for a PWM period through Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), the flux-linkage and position are estimated without external hardware circuitry, such as a modulator and demodulator, which result in increased cost, as well as large position estimation error, produced when the motional back EMF is ignored near zero speed. A two-phase SRM drive system, consisting of an asymmetrical converter and a conventional closed-loop PI current controller, is utilized to validate the performance of the proposed position estimation scheme in comprehensive operating conditions. It is shown that the estimated values very closely track the actual values, in dynamic simulations and experiments.

Speed sensors are required for the vector control of induction motors. These sensors reduce the sturdiness of the system and make it expensive. Therefore, a drive system without speed sensors is required. Also, the rotor inertia constant, the damping constant and the disturbed load torque of the IM are estimated by the RLS estimator and a torque observer. Then the observed disturbance torque is fed forward to increase the robustness of the IM speed drive.

This paper proposes a new sensorless drive system for the trapezoidal Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motor requiring mechanical position or speed sensor. The proposed method is using only one current sensor For this an indirect rotor position sensing method from the periodically variation DC Link current waveform. DC Link current waveform change from high to low when BLDC commutate status. This algorithm was verified by simulations using MATLAB SIMULINK and experiment.

To control the speed of IPMSM drives it is necessary to know the speed and the rotor position. This is normally done by measurement of this values with electromechenical sensors. In this paper, a new approach to the position elimination method for the high performance variable speed IPMSM drives with the current controlled PWM technique is presented. For the high performance drive capability in the speed region, a Extended Kalman filter algorithm is adopted to estimate the rotor position as well as the angular velocity for the practical sensorless IPMSM drives. The high performance drive characteristics of the proposed method are verified using the wide simulation.

This paper presents a new velocity estimation strategy of a non-salient permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM) drive without high frequency signal injection or special PWM pattern. This approach is based on the d-axis current regulator output voltage of the drive system which has the information of rotor position error. The rotor velocity can be estimated through a rotor position tracking PI controller that controls the position error to aero. For zero and low speed operation, the PI gains of rotor position tracking controller have a variable structure. The PI tuning formulas are derived by analyzing this control system using the frequency domain specifications such as phase margin and bandwidth assignment.

In this paper, a novel field weakening scheme for the induction machine by the voltage control strategy is presented. The proposed algorithm ensures producing the maximum torque over the entire field weakening legion. Also by introducing the direct field-oriented control in the field weakening legion with large variation in machine parameters, the drive system can obtain the robustness to machine parameter variation. Moreover, by using estimated speed, sensorless speed control can be possible in very high speed lesion. Experimental results for a laboratory induction motor drive system confirm the validity or the proposed control algorithm.
