This paper constructed the experimental system which is able to drive in series or separately excited by switching of the field winding, using a DC motor and obtained the characteristics of efficiency with speed and torque of each motor's type through the experiment. From this result controlled drive which is able to series DCM or separately excited DCM in the optimal point of efficiency as finding the types of motor having maximum efficiency with torque and speed. By performing high efficiency tracking drive, it is expected that energy consumption of power source with limited energy density would be reduced, and so utility efficiency would be improved.

The operating torque and tribological characteristics of a cam/tappet system of an I.C. engine have an important effect on the engine efficiency. More power is lost for higher operation torque which is affected by the friction of a cam/tappet system. In this work experimental investigation of the torque behavior of a cam/tappet system was conducted to get tribological characteristics. Specifically, the torque was measured with respect to oil temperature and camshaft speed. The torque decreased with increasing camshaft speed because of decreasing friction coefficient but was hardly affected by the oil temperature. Also, the torque was the largest near the cam nose region.

The current study presents the design and performance of a novel 4/2 switched reluctance motor (SRM) for a high-speed air blower. With a comparative study of some rotor structures for a high-speed drive, a stepper-type rotor is optimized to produce a continuous torque and a low torque ripple. Rotor pole arc is modified to have a wide continuous output torque region, and air gap is determined to develop less torque ripple. The rotor radius is determined to reduce torque ripple with a reiterative FEM analysis. The designed rotor has three regions: short uniform, long uniform, and nonuniform air-gap region. The positive torque region is wider than a conventional 4/2 SRM without any torque dead zone. A prototype is tested and the efficiency is up to 72[%] at 30,000[rpm], 600[w] output.

Efficient operation of induction motor at light loads has been getting wide attention recently because the operating of induction motor at light loads occupies big portion of its operating regions in many applications such as environment friendly vehicle. As one of approaches to improve efficiency, Adaptive Maximum Torque Per Amp (Adaptive MTPA) control for induction motor drives has been proposed to achieve a desired torque with the minimum possible stator current. However, the Adaptive MTPA control was validated only at heavy load where, in general, control scheme tends to perform better than at light loads since the error in measurement of sensors is lower and signal to noise is better. Thus, although the performance of a control scheme is good at rated operating point, its performance at light load is somewhat in doubt in practice. This has led to considerable interest in efficiency of Adaptive MTPA control at light loads. This work experimentally demonstrates performance of Adaptive MTPA control at light loads regardless of rotor resistance variation, thus showing its good performance over all operating conditions.

Torque ripple is a very essential index for evaluating the effectiveness of a switched reluctance motor (SRM). Many common design strategies for reducing torque ripples of a SRM are changing the excitation trigger angle of stator windings, delaying the cut-off time of winding excitation, adjusting the ratio of arc angle between stator and rotor, and changing the geometric shape of rotor. However, the output torque or the efficiency of the SRM may drop as the above design strategies are solely adopted. In this paper, a hybrid design model which is obtained by the Taguchi Method for optimally designing a SRM with lower torque ripple and higher efficiency is presented. A 12S/8P motor is taken as a study case, and the 3D finite element method (FEM) is applied to analyze the characteristics of the motor and optimize the design process. The results have shown that the proposed method can achieve the design goal of obtaining a high-performance SRM for light electric vehicle applications.

This paper presents an implementation of high-dynamic performance of position sensorless motion control system of Reluctance Synchronous Motor(RSM) drives for an industrial servo system with direct torque control(DTC), The problems of DTC for high-dynamic performance and maximum efficiency RSM drive due to a saturated stator linkage flux and nonlinear inductance curve with various load currents, The accurate estimation of the stator flux and torque are obtained using stator flux observer of which a saturated inductance Ld and Lq can be compensated by adapting from measurable the modulus and angle of the stator current space vector. To obtain fast torque response and maximum torque/current with varying load current, the reference command flux is ensured by imposing Ids=Iqs. This control strategy is proposed to fast response and optimal efficiency for RSM drive. In order to prove rightness of the suggested control algorithm, the actual experiment carried out at ${\pm}$20 and ${\pm}$1500 rpm. The developed digitally high-performance control system are shown some good response characteristic of control results and high performance features using 1.0kW RSM of which has 2.57 Ld/Lq salient ratio.

SRMs(Switched Reluctance Motors) are much interested in high speed applications due to the mechanical robustness, simple structure and high efficiency. In spite of many advantages of SRMs, a higher torque ripple discourages the adoption of SRMs in a high speed application. This paper presents a simple negative torque of tail current compensation scheme using a modified TSF(Torque Sharing Function) for the high speed SRMs. Because of the short commutation in the high speed region, the negative torque from the tail current makes the high torque ripple. In order to reduce and compensate the negative torque from tail current, the proposed control scheme produces an additional compensating torque with a reference torque in the active phase winding. And the compensating value is dependent on the tail current of the inactive phase winding. Furthermore, the switching signals of the outgoing phase are fully turned off to restrict the extended tail current, and the torque error of the outgoing phase is compensated by the incoming phase. The proposed modified TSF control scheme is verified by the computer simulations with 30,000[rpm] high speed 4/2 SRM. The simulation and experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

The purpose of this paper is to construct a control algorithm for improving the driving efficiency of 4-wheel-drive in-wheel electric vehicles. The main parts of the vehicle were modeled and the input-output relations of signals were summarized using MATLAB/Simulink. A performance simulator for 4-wheel-drive in-wheel electric vehicles was developed based on the co-simulation environment with a commercial dynamic behavior analysis program called Carsim. Moreover, for improving the driving efficiency of vehicles, a torque distribution algorithm, which distributes the torque to the front and rear wheels, was included in the performance simulator. The effectiveness of the torque distribution algorithm was validated by the SOC simulation using the FTP-75 driving cycle.

We analyzed the performance of hubless rim propellers based on the number of blades, maintaining a fixed pitch ratio and expanded area ratio, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Thrust coefficient, torque coefficient and efficiency according to the number of blades were analyzed. In addition, the pressure distribution on the discharge and suction sides of the blade was analyzed. As the advance ratio increases, the thrust coefficient decreases. The highest thrust was shown when the advance ratio was lowest. For the three, four, five and six-blades, the torque coefficient tended to decrease as the advance ratio increased. In the case of seven and eight-blades, the torque coefficient tended to increase as the advance ratio increased. The maximum efficiency was found when the advance ratio was 0.8. When the three-blade, it showed high efficiency at all advance ratios. A high pressure distribution was observed at the leading edge of the discharge blade, and a low pressure distribution was observed at the trailing edge. Applying a hubless rim-driven thruster with the three-blade can generate higher thrust and increase work efficiency.
