This paper is proposed an efficiency optimization control algorithm for a synchronous reluctance motor(SynRM) which minimizes the copper and iron losses. Also, this paper presents a speed estimated control scheme of SynRM using artificial neural network(ANN). There exists a variety of combinations of d and q-axis current which provide a specific motor torque. The objective of the efficiency optimization controller is to seek a combination of d and q-axis current components, which provides minimum losses at a certain operating point in steady state. It is shown that the current components which directly govern the torque production have been very well regulated by the efficiency optimization control scheme. The proposed algorithm allows the electromagnetic losses in variable speed and torque drives to be reduced while keeping good torque control dynamics. The control performance of ANN is evaluated by analysis for various operating conditions. Analysis results are presented to show the validity of the proposed algorithm.

The present paper investigates the optimal operation of a switched reluctance motor such that overall drive efficiency is maximized under a variable supply voltage. The operation under a variable supply voltage exhibits the improved drive efficiency in the full range of operating torque and speed, and exhibits the expanded range of operating torque and speed. Furthermore a variable supply voltage may be utilized in reducing torque ripple.

This paper proposes a DITC(Direct Instantaneous Torque Control of SRM (Switched Reluctance Motor) using a novel 4-level converter for smooth torque control and high efficiency. DITC of SRM is very useful for smooth torque control, but the driving efficiency is low due to advanced current that does not produce torque. For the high efficiency control of SRM, fast excitation and demagnetization of phase current are required. A novel 4-level converter and a new control scheme are present to improve the driving efficiency. The proposed DITC of SRM using 4-level converter is verified by computer simulation.

The present study is an investigation on the characteristics of heavy load toque converter by experimental process. To get the dynamic performance, the dynamometer was used with a parameters of speed, torque, oil pressure and oil flux, etc. The torque converter was tested for various input speed, output oil pressure and input oil flow rate. All experiments were investigated in case that the speed ratio is increased. The torque ratio and capacity factor was in inverse proportion to speed. Engine revolution had a more effects at region of low speed ratio. But, the opposite phenomena were represented increase of efficiency. In result of this experiments, the characteristics of torque converter were not influenced by oil pressure and oil flux.

Research on walking assistance exoskeletons that provide optimized torque to individuals has been conducted steadily, and these studies aim to help users feel stable when walking and get help that suits their intentions. Because exoskeleton auxiliary efficiency evaluation is based on metabolic cost savings, experiments on real people are needed to evaluate continuously evolving control algorithms. However, experiments with real people always require risks and high costs. Therefore, in this study, we intend to actively utilize human musculoskeletal simulation. First, to improve the accuracy of musculoskeletal models, we propose a body segment mass distribution algorithm using body composition analysis data that reflects body characteristics. Secondly, the efficiency of most exoskeleton torque control algorithms is evaluated as the reduction rate of Metabolic Cost. In this study, we assume that the torque minimizing the Metabolic Cost is the optimal torque and propose a method for obtaining the torque.

The switched reluctance motor has high efficiency over a wide range of speed and torque. However the switched reluctance motor exhibit comparatively low efficiency in the chopped excitation which produces additional inverter losses. This paper examines the optimal efficiency operation using choppingless excitation under the changed supply voltage. The excitation is designed to produce the required torque and speed satisfying the optimal efficiency in a nonlinear switched reluctance motor. The optimal algorithm is applied to 119 operation points which are chosen over the full range of driving torque and speed. The result in this paper indicate the improved efficiency comparing to the efficiency obtained by both switched and chopped excitataions under a fixed supply voltage.

This paper proposed a optimal current control method to improve efficiency of BLDC motors. The aim of the proposed method is to use the maximum torque operating method by increasing the effective voltage at the maximum torque point unlike existing SPM operating method. The proposed method is based on existing IPM maximum torque operating method grafting onto a square wave operating of SPM motors. As the method of increasing the effective output voltage from inverter using the maximum torque point, the proposed method is to improve efficiency of BLDC motors using the same amount of the existing current effectively. For this method, the maximum torque point is carried out by FEA and analysis of magnetic flux vector. In this paper, the prototype of general-purpose BLDC drive is manufactured and the performance characteristic and validity are verified.

EPS(Electric Power Steering) systems have many advantages over traditional hydraulic power steering systems in space efficiency engine efficiency and environmental compatibility. In this paper an EPS system control logic using a torque map is proposed. The main function of the EPS system is to reduce the steering torque exerted by a driver by assist of an electric motor. Vehcile speed steering torque and steering wheel angle are measured and fed back to the EPS control system where appropriate assist torque is generated to assist the operator's steering effort. Another capability of the EPS system for easy adaptation to different steering feels via simple tuning is demonstrated by the experiments. It will be also verified that the EPS system can also improve damping and return performance of the steering wheel by control of the assist motor.

Cogging torque and back-EMF is calculated by the no-load analysis, start-up time is calculated by the start-up state analysis, efficiency and torque ripple is calculated by steady state analysis. The characteristics of the motor were calculated through FEM.
