The rib in synchronous reluctance motor(SynRM), which has segment type rotor, is mechanical weak Point. To make up for the weak point, a web has inserted in the flux barrier. However, the inductance in the q-axis is increased and then the motor performance has been decreased because of the inserted web. This paper presents a model, which has permanent magnets on the both side of the web, to decrease the inductance in the q-axis. The finite element method is applied to analyze the characteristics.

This paper presents estimation of d-axis and q-axis inductance of an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) by using an extended Kalman filter (EKF). The EKF is widely used for control applications including the motor sensorless control and parameter estimation. The motor parameters can be changed by temperature and air-gap flux. In particular, the variation of the inductance affects torque characteristics like the maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) control. Therefore, by estimating the parameters, it is possible to improve the torque characteristics of the motor. The performance of the proposed estimator is verified by simulations and experimental results based on an 11kW PMSM drive system.

This paper presents the design of Brushless DC (BLDC) motor using parametric design. According to the variation of magnitude of back emf and inductance, characteristic equations of BLDC motor are solved then output power, current, and torque ripples are calculated. Therefore output characteristics of BLDC motor according to motor parameter can be easily understood, and the range of back emf and inductance satisfying required output performance can be easily found. Presented design method leads to the BLDC motor design to be simple and effective, and the optimal design of BLDC motor using parametric design for 3kW with 50000rpm is presented.

This paper presents the design of the feed forward controller to improve on the non-interference control performance of a single PWM converter in parallel for high-speed trains. The feed forward controller is designed to minimize the interference generated by converter switching in parallel operation of PWM converters. The gain value of the feed forward controller is calculated by inductance values of the input transformer. However, it is difficult to decide this gain value exactly because inductance values are changed by the operation condition of an input transformer. In this paper, the proposed design of feed forward controller can exactly decide the gain value using the leakage inductances estimated by detecting the variation of input current. the validity of the proposed feed forward controller is proved through the simulation results.

Differential equations governing dynamic behavior of toroid-shaped ferro-magnetic material having a small gap of uniform width were derived incorporating Maxwell equations of electromagnetic induction relevent to the system and Newtonian equation of motion. Once the external uniform magnetic field was applied within the material through dc-circuit around the toroid, gap begin to change which lead to the abrupt variation of field in the material and gap according to the differential equations already derived. Characteristics of current and electromotive force with respect to time in the circuit consisting of inductance and resistance in series could be predicted from numerical solutions of these equations. As current in the circuit increasesl, magnetic field in the material increases, thus, the gap starts to shrink due to increased attractive force between gap and elastic restoring force in the material. With an appropriate selection of elastic constant of toroidal ferromagnetic material and design of gap structure it is possible to obtain the specified in both linear and nonlinear magnetic characteristics, such as current dependent and independent inductance.

In this paper, a bidirectional three-phase push pull converter is analyzed for the high power, wide voltage range applications. From comparison analysis of two switching methods: PWM plus phase-shift (PPS) and dual-asymmetric PWM (DAPWM) with the effect of dead-time, the proposed hybrid control is aimed to reduce the circulating current under wide voltage range operation. Value of leakage inductance effect to the peak current value, current stress and conduction loss in facing the load variation. Trade-off between power range and slew rate of transformer current was analyzed for properly selecting value of the transformer leakage inductance. Experimental results from a 22-kW prototype are provided to validate the proposed concept.

This paper present an investigation of the influence on the PFC(power factor correction) circuit with characteristics variation of MPP (Molybdenum permalloy powder) core. The experiment results of the 1.5kW class Boost converter for PFC rectifier with the average current mode control are evaluated to verify the influence on the PFC converter with inductance variation of the MPP core. As a results, it is shown that the ripple of the inductor using a MPP core increase with output power of the converter.

Although the switched reluctance motor (SRM) has a several advantages such as simple magnetic structure, robustness, wide range of speed characteristics and simple driving, it has a considerable inherent torque ripple and speed variation duet to the driving characteristics of pulse current waveform and the nonlinear inductance profile. The high torque ripple and speed variation inhibits wide application. The minimization of the torque ripple is very important in high performance servo drive applications, which require smooth operation with minimum torque pulsations. This paper presents the new SRM torque modeling technique for the control of instantaneous torque. The SRM is modeled by the database of torque profiles for every small variation in currents and rotor angles, which is inferred from the several measured data by the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference technique. Simulation results demonstrating the effectiveness of proposed torque modeling technique are presented.

The characteristic variation of 3-dimensional (3-D) solenoid-type embedded inductors is investigated. Four different structures of a 3-D inductor are fabricated by using a low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) process, and their s-parameters are measured between 50 MHz and 5 GHz. The circuit model parameters of each building block are optimized and extracted using the partial element equivalent circuit method and an HSPICE circuit simulator. Based on the model parameters, the characteristics of the test structures such as self-resonant frequency, inductance, and quality (Q) factor are analyzed, and predictive modeling is applied to the structures composed of a combination of the modeled building blocks. In addition, characteristic variations of the 3-D inductors with different structures using extracted building blocks are also investigated. This approach can provide a characteristic estimation of 3-D solenoid embedded inductors for structural variations.

In this paper a simple theory is presented to represent characteristic of a SRM and theoretical results are compared with experimental ones. In the theory the inductance variation of a SRM are approximated as linear and winding resistance and the magnetic saturation are ignored. With these approximations we derived some equations expressing load characteristics of a SRM Also the torque ripple was removed by applying a variable hysteresis band control.
