This paper proposes a new method to reduce the torque ripple in vector controlled inverter fed synchronous motor systems. In three phase voltage source inverter systems, all the three line currents are generally not measured and the currents of two lines are measured through two sensors and two A/D converters. The measured currents may contain some error due to the non-ideality of the current sensors and A/D converters, and the error coefficient of two line currents are not same. As a result, the developed torque contains the torque ripple. The proposed method can eliminate the torque ripple by setting the error coefficient to same value. To verify the proposed method, digital simulations are carried out.

The ultrasonic motor have recently begun to be used for certain unique practical utilizations in the fields of industrial medical consumer and automotive applications. Ultrasonic motor stimulated to ultrasonic oscillations by piezoelectrics to drive a rotor via friction contact. The metal and ceramic composite component was used as the stator element to generate ultrasonic vibrations. The ultrasonic motor used here was the windmill type ultrasonic motor operated by single-phase AC source. The windmill type ultrasonic motors has only three components; a stator element of two windmill shape slotted metal endcaps a rotor and a bearing. In this paper a prototype motor with 11.35 mm diameter was fabricated then relationship between the pressing force applied to a rotor and the rotation characteristic of windmill type ultrasonic motor are investigated when stator’s slots was changed from 4, 6, 8 and thickness changed from 0.15, 0.20 mm, respectively. Optimum pressing force applied to a rotor in the six stators was 1.2 mN.

Because the nonlinear and time-varying characteristics of continuously variable transmission (CVT) systems driven by means of a six-phase copper rotor induction motor (CRIM) are unconscious, the control performance obtained for classical linear controllers is disappointing, when compared to more complex, nonlinear control methods. A blend modified recurrent Gegenbauer orthogonal polynomial neural network (OPNN) control system which has the online learning capability to come back to a nonlinear time-varying system, was complied to overcome difficulty in the design of a linear controller for six-phase CRIM driving CVT systems with lumped nonlinear load disturbances. The blend modified recurrent Gegenbauer OPNN control system can carry out examiner control, modified recurrent Gegenbauer OPNN control, and reimbursed control. Additionally, the adaptation law of the online parameters in the modified recurrent Gegenbauer OPNN is established on the Lyapunov stability theorem. The use of an amended artificial bee colony (ABC) optimization technique brought about two optimal learning rates for the parameters, which helped reform convergence. Finally, a comparison of the experimental results of the present study with those of previous studies demonstrates the high control performance of the proposed control scheme.

The Theory of operation of switched reluctance motors (SRM) depends on the reluctance torque, where energy is transferred to stator winding only. Although its construction is simple, the electrical design is complex, due to the switching configuration needed to deliver power to stator coils. However, because of the nonlinearly of magnetic circuit, SRM has torque ripple. This paper proposes a new strategy to drive SRM from a single-phase AC supply. Each stator winding is connected to AC-DC or AC-AC converters, which is called branch. All branches are connected in parallel to a single-phase AC supply. A shaft encoder allows current production in stator winding during the positive torque production region and terminates it during the negative torque production region. A magnetic flux is produced between stator poles when current is supplied from AC supply to stator coil and repeats many cycles as long as the rate of change of stator inductance is positive. Different possibilities for the configurations of AC-AC or AC-DC converters are introduced to drive SRM from the single-phase AC supply. A case study is presented for a SRM fed from AC supply through semi-controlled AC-DC converter is presented. A simulation model is introduced and verified by experimental rig for two-phase SRM.

The design and implementation of a high performance PID (Proportional Integral & Differential) style controller with zero-phase error tracking property is considered in this article. Unlike a ball screw driven system, the controller in a direct drive system should provide a high level of tracking performance while avoiding the problems due to the absence of the gear system. The stiff mechanical element in a direct drive system allows high precise positioning capability, but relatively high tracking ability with minimal position error is required. In this work, a feasible position controller named 'Unified PID controller' is presented. It will be shown that the function of the closed position loop can be designed into unity gain system in continuous time domain to provide minimal position error. The focus of this work is in two areas. First, easy gain tunable PID position controller without speed control loop is designed in order to construct feasible high performance drive system. Second, a simple but powerful zero phase error tracking strategy using the pre-designed function of the main control loop is presented for minimal tracking error in all operating conditions. Experimental results with a s-curve based position pattern commonly used in industrial field demonstrate the feasibility and effective performance of the approach.

Transducer for ultrasonic linear motor with the symmetric and anti-symmetric modes was studied. The ultrasonic linear motor consists of two Langevin type piezoelectric vibrators that cross at right angles with each other in tip. In order to excite symmetric and anti-symmetric modes, the transducer must have a phase shift of 90 degree in space and time. Therefore, the tip of transducer moves on an elliptical motion. In this paper, the finite element analysis was used to optimize dimension and displacement of the transducer The ultrasonic motor was fabricated using the simulated result and the driving characteristics were measured. No-load velocity was 0.28[m/s] and the maximum efficiency was 30[%] in resonance frequency.

A permanent-magnet-assisted switched reluctance motor (SRM) having small excitation poles, where phase coils are concentrically wound on the poles and thin permanent magnets are inserted inside the poles, is proposed in this paper. The insertion of permanent magnets into the stator excitation poles has a significant influence on positive torque improvement leading to a boost in efficiency. Three key design parameters such as the thickness of permanent magnets, space between two adjacent permanent magnets, and the width of stator excitation poles are determined during a design procedure in terms of the enhancement of positive torque. Step-by-step design modification and a comparison between the proposed permanent-magnet-assisted SRM and no-permanent-magnet SRM have been conducted by means of static torque comparison along with dynamic performance. The first prototype from steel laminations up to its physical assembly has been constructed.

The winding design of a capacitor-run single-phase induction motor for changing two poles(2-/4-pole) is proposed for reducing the harmonics of Magneto Motive Force(MMF) in the airgap at 2-role. To improve motor performance, it is important to analyze exactly the harmonics and design the winding pattern for its harmonics reduction. The winding design method to reduce the harmonics is suggested in this paper and its characteristics are analyzed by using equivalent circuit considering harmonic components. The various performances of the pole change motor with the proposed winding pattern are compared with the experimental results.

Switched reluctance motor (SRM) drives appear today as viable alternatives to induction and brushless motor drives in a wide range of application such as machine tools, fans, and pumps. This paper deals with a new converter topology which can be used in order converter. The split source type converter consists of minimum switching devices to be used in switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive. In this proposed converter two switches and six diodes are added to split source type converter. The proposed converter has performance minimizes the negative torque, Which puts the phase current off by double impressed voltages. The major advangtage of this converter is the increase of the average output power while improving better converter efficiency in heavy load and high speed than other topologies. The proposed converter system has been implemented using 80C196KB microcontroller and experiments were carried out ot verify the simulation results.
