In order to verify the performance of brushless DC (BLDC) motors, the simulation method has been widely used. The current of a BLDC motors flows on two phase windings to obtain a constant torque. However, the freewheeling current caused by the inductance component of a BLDC motor exists at the commutation point so that the current can flow on three phase windings at the same time. Due to the changes of the excited phases, the model equations are frequently changed during BLDC motor drive operation. The model equations can be also changed by the applied switching pattern since the current path in the inverter circuit changes according to switching pattern. A BLDC motor system can utilize various switching patterns for many different purposes. However, such changes of the model equations complicate the simulation procedure. In this paper, the technique to set up model equations is proposed to ease the simulation of a BLDC motor system through an inverter circuit analysis. The proposed technique will be verified using the C language. Although this method does not provide the level of detail obtainable from commercial simulation tools like PSIM or SIMULINK, it can provide an efficient way to quickly compare various conditions.

This paper considers pulse width modulation (PWM) methods which are used in 3-phase brushless DC motor controller. Due to many disadvantages of bipolar PWM method, unipolar PWM method is mostly used in industrial field. In constant speed control application, the unipolar PWM method shows a good performance of speed control. But in the wide range of speed control application, it shows a poor performance especially when deceleration is needed. So we propose hybrid PWM method that utilizes two PWM methods according to the sign of speed controller output. The simulation and experimental result shows that the proposed method improves a speed control performance of the brushless DC motor which is applied to industrial sewing machines.

Generally, Slotless PM BLDC drive system is necessary that the three Hall-ICs evenly be distributed around the stator circumference and encoder be installed in case of the 3 phase motor. So, the Hall-ICs are set up in this motor to detect the main flux from the rotor, and the output signal from Hall-ICs is used to drive a power transistor to control the winding current. However, instead of using three Hall-ICs and encoder, we used only two Hall-ICs for the permanent magnet rotor position and for the speed feedback signals, and also for a microcontroller of 16-bit type (80C196KC) with the 3 phase Slotless PM BLDC whose six stator and two rotor designed. Two Hall-IC Hc and $H_B$ are placed on the endplate at 120 degree intervals, and with these elements, we can estimate information of the others phase in sequence through a rotating rotor.

최근 각종 산업기기 및 자동화기기에는 회전자가 영구자석으로 구성된 브러시리스 전동기의 사용이 증가하고 있다. 그러나 회전자가 영구자석으로 이루어진 BLDC전동기의 경우 회전자 위치 판별 센서는 필수 요소이다. PM BLDC 전동기의 속도제어를 수행함에 있어 기존의 엔코더와 Hall-IC 3개를 이용하지 않고, 2개의 Hall-IC로 3상 motor의 나머지 한상의 Hall-IC 신호를 추정하였다. 또한 사용된 PM BLDC motor는 고속속도를 가지는 특성을 가지고 있지만 Hall-IC를 이용하여 속초제어를 하기 때문에 속도의 오차 량이 상당히 크다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 이러한 단점을 개선하기 위해 저가의 PLL회로를 적용하였다. 또한 실험을 통하여 그 타당성을 검증하였다.

In this paper two methods of torque control for brushless DC motor with non-ideal trapezoidal back EMF are presented. One is the method of modulating the reference current so as to give a constant torque since the torque is given by the back EMF and the. phase currents. And the current control loop includes the feedforward control of back EMF and of the neutral voltage between the neutral points of the inverter and of the machine. The other is a direct voltage calculation algorithm for a given reference torque. In the two methods, the time delay due to the calculation is compensated by one sampling current prediction. The simulation results are presented to verify the proposed methods.

This paper decribes multi-phase BLDC motor with a minimum torque pulsation among BLDC motor used for electric propulsion system. Multi-phase BLDC motor has characteristic that phase of stator has more than 3-phase. This paper is modeling two type of BLDC motor, one has 3-phase and the other has 7-phase, and it shows simulation of them comparing its characteristics. As a result of simulation, the 7-phase BLDC motor shows better performance in terms of torque pulsation. It is also found that the torque pulsation is reduced further by increasing the number of phase.

A Low cost and variable speed brushless motor drive system with single switch per phase is presented. The motor drive is realized with a novel two-phase flux-reversal-free switched reluctance motor and a split AC two switch converter. The strategy of the controller and the converter for its realization are described. Comparisons between a split AC converter, asymmetric converter, split DC converter, single controllable switch converter, and N+1 converter are performed for its device rating, cost, switching losses and conduction losses, and converter efficiency. The split AC converter is analyzed and simulated to verify the characteristics of the converter circuitry and control feasibility and the simulation results are presented. The efficiency with various loads is numerically estimated and experimentally compared from viewpoint of subsystem and system in details. The focus of this paper is to compare the presented motor drive system to the asymmetric converter system throughout experiments and demonstrate single switch per phase converter having comparable efficiency as the asymmetric converter system.

최근 각종 산업기기 및 자동화기기에는 회전자가 영구자석으로 구성된 브러시리스 전동기의 사용이 증가하고 있다. 그러나 회전자가 영구자석으로 이루어진 BLDC 전동기의 경우 회전자 위치 판별 센서는 필수 요소이다. 그러나 센서(엔코더, 레졸버등)를 사용할 경우 크기 증가, 비용 상승 등의 원인으로 작용한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 PM BLDC 전동기의 속도제어를 수행함에 있어 기존의 엔코더와 Hall-IC 3개를 이용하지 않고, 두개를 이용하여 회전자의 위치를 판별함과 동시에 속도 센서를 대신하여 사용할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 그 결과 성능은 동일하고, 구동회로의 크기와 제조 단가를 낮출 수 있는 효과를 얻었다.
