Microstep driving method is adopted to reduce the thrust ripple of LPM(Linear Pulse Motor). It controls each phase current to improve the resolution of position. Therefore, the phase current waveform affects the characteristics of LPM in microstep drive. In this paper, the characteristics of LPM was investigated in accordance with phase current waveform.

This paper present increasing of Power density of slotless PMLSM by inserting core between phase winding. PM width is changed and PM is divided into two part to reduce and eliminate high order space harmonics affecting torque ripple. Flux density, back EMF, inductance, thrust, normal and detent force are computed by 2D FEM, and analysis values are compared with each other.

In this paper, the thrust control of PWM Inverter-fed SLIM(Single-sided Linear Induction Motor) is achieved by vector control and PID control with DSP(TMS320C32). SLIM which used as a conveyor has required the quick response and the constant operating without air gap trembling while it conveys load.Thus, SLIM should have the smallest trembling of air gap length. First, voltage equations for SLIM are calculated from the proposed equivalent circuit in this peper, and not only the exciting current but also the thrust component are obtained from them. The thrust current ripple can be reduced by the vector controller using a slip angle frequency, and the PID controller is also use for the position control.

Quasi Z-Source Multilevel Inverter (QZMLI) topology has attracted grid connected Photovoltaic (PV) systems in recent days. So there is a remarkable research thrust in switching techniques and control strategies of QZMLI. This paper presents the mathematical analysis of Phase shift- Pulse Width Amplitude Modulation (PS-PWAM) for QZMLI and emphasizes on the advantages of the technique. The proposed technique uses the maximum and minimum envelopes of the reference waves for generation of pulses and proportion of it to generate shoot-through pulses. Hence, it results in maximum utilization of input voltage, lesser switching loss, reduced Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of the output voltage, reduced inductor current ripple and capacitor voltage ripple. Due to these qualities, the QZMLI with PS-PWAM emerges to be the best suitable for PV based grid connected applications compared to Phase shift-Pulse Width Modulation (PS-PWM). The detailed math analysis of the proposed technique has been disclosed. Simulation has been performed for the proposed technique using MATLAB/Simulink. A prototype has been built to validate the results for which the pulses were generated using FPGA /SPARTAN 3E.

In this paper, we describe the LPM structure with a two-phase, which is not used previously, and explain its operation principle. In order to predict the accurate performance of LPM reduction model, finite element model was derived and the back EMF of LPM reduction model was measured and compared. In order to investigate the thrust and normal force of the LPM reduction model, a driving circuit capable of applying two-phase pulse currents was constructed and the performance was predicted in conjunction with the finite element analysis model. Finally, the design considering actual LPM size was performed. Since the size of the reduction model is small, the field could be made of a permanent magnet. However, it is almost impossible to manufacture a permanent magnet to match the size and capacity of a real LPM for a vehicle, in terms of cost and writing. Therefore, the actual vehicle LPM was replaced by wound type that generates a magnetic field by applying current to the field winding, and the final model was derived using the reaction surface method.

A brushless linear motor is suitable for a high-accuracy servo mechanism. It is also suitable for operation with higher speed and precision. Since it does not involve some sort of mechanical coupling, linear driving force can be applied directly. Basic models including magetomotive force and electromotive forces are introduced and simplified. Both conventional PID and fuzzy controllers are implemented and performance results using those controllers are compared. Along with better simulated performance observed using fuzzy controller, further fabrication is to be included with various empirical results. Several system operational characteristics have been observed. Typical nonlinearities as friction, cogging and torque or thrust ripple that might deteriorate system performance would be tackled using presumably effective method such as neural network based learning controller.

Linear Induction Motors (LIMs) with the long secondary conductor often have joints between the segmented secondary, which are specially used for magnetically levitated high-speed vehicle and elevators. In this paper, the dynamic characteristics of the LIM with joints in the secondary are investigated using the time-stepping finite element analysis. It is supposed that both aluminium conductor and back-iron have joint in the active zone during the analysis. As a result, thrust and normal force ripple which have effects on the motor dynamics and vibration are examined.

This paper describe the dynamic equation of Linear Pulse Motor(LPM)and the method of microstep drive and newly proposed control method for Linear Pulse Motor(LPM). A microstep drive is generally used for the high resolution positioning system. But high thrust distortion and imbalance in LPM make torque ripple that cause position error in microstep drive. In this paper the new control method is proposed and applied to hybrid LPM which is made by KERI. In the experimental results. it is shown the validity of the proposed control scheme.
