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.

This paper proposes an optimal current control method for improving efficiency of Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motor. The proposed optimal current control method is based on the maximum torque point analysis of Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The proposed method can increase the effective voltage at the maximum torque point of BLDC motor and increase the output torque per unit current to increase the efficiency. In order to verify the proposed optimal current control method, have developed the prototype of a 50 [W] class motor drive and experimented by 20 [W] motor using the dynamometer set. This was verified.

Permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM) is widely used in many applications such as an electric vehicle. compressor drives of air conditioner and machine tool spindle drives. PMSM drive system have become a popular choice in various application, due to their excellent power to weight ratio. This paper is proposed maximum torque control for field weakening operation of PMSM drive. At low speeds, the reluctance torque is used to maximize the output for a given current level. This is achieved maximum torque per ampere(MTPA) by selecting an optimal value of the direct stator current component. At high speeds, the system reaches a point at which the inverter will not be able to supply the desired voltage. In this case it is necessary to make use of an increased value the direct current component. The proposed control algorithm is applied to PMSM drive system, the operating characteristics controlled by maximum torque control are examined in detail by simulation.

The purpose of this paper is, as a preliminary step to study on the method of analysing the torque of toothed solid iron rotor, to make an inquiry into the torque calculation formula of homogenious solid iron rotor without slot. The starting point for its theoretical analysis on torque generated by eddy current in solid iron rotor is based on the maximum air gap flux density. In solid rotor induction motor, torque generated by rotor core is considerably large in the range of large slip. The calculated value and observed value on the test machine are also examined in this paper.

매입형 영구자석 동기 전동기는 높은 효율과 빠른 동특성, 넓은 정출력 운전 영역 등의 장점 때문에 다양한 산업 분야에서 각광을 받고 있다. 특히 매입형 영구자석 동기기의 단위 전류당 최대 토크(Maximum Torque Per Ampere, MTPA) 운전 방법은 전동기의 최대 효율 운전을 위해서 필수적인 운전방법이 되었다. 이론적인 MTPA 운전점은 전동기의 제 정수에 의해 결정되는데, 매입형 영구자석 동기 전동기는 온도와 운전 영역에 따라 전동기 제 정수의 변화가 심하여 정확한 MTPA 운전을 하기 위해서는 전동기의 전 운전 영역에 대한 전동기 제 정수를 미리 알고 있어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 신호 주입 개념을 도입한 새로운 MTPA 운전 방법을 제안한다. 전류에 높은 주파수의 신호를 주입하여 그 주입된 신호에 의한 반응을 확인함으로 MTPA 운전점을 판별하게 된다. 이 방법은 전동기 제 정수 변동에 강인하며, 간단한 신호처리 과정을 통하여 MTPA 운전을 할 수 있다.

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.

Currently, fuel efficiency becomes one of critical issues for automotive industries as concerns about environmental and energy problems grow. In an automatic transmission of an automobile, a drag torque due to a viscous drag of a fluid between friction and clutch plates is one of factors that degrade fuel economy. In this work, the drag torque characteristics of a wet clutch was experimentally investigated with respect to rotational speed, temperature of automatic transmission fluid (ATF), and gap between friction and clutch plates. The experimental results showed that drag torque increases to a certain level, and then decrease to the steady state value with increasing rotational speed. This behavior may be associated with two-phase flow of air and ATF at gap between friction and clutch plates. Also, it was found that the maximum drag torque value decreased as ATF viscosity decreases with increasing temperature. However, it was shown that the point at which the maximum drag torque occurs was not significantly affected by the ATF temperature. In addition, maximum drag torque was found to decrease as the gap between friction and clutch plates increased from 0.1 mm to 0.2 mm. Furthermore, it was observed that the generation of maximum drag torque was delayed as the gap increased. The outcomes of this work are expected to be helpful to gain a better understanding of drag torque characteristic of a wet clutch, and may therefore be useful in the design of wet clutch systems with improved performance.

This paper presents the MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking)control method of the PMSG wind generation system using the turbine model with a squirrel cage induction motor. The torque of squirrel cage induction turbine model is controlled by mathematization of speed characteristics of real blade. In this paper, maintenance and cost issues into consideration, except for previous method using information of the velocity of the wind speed sensor, the algorithm is presented. The algorithm is controlled by tracking the optimal point, the generator speed and maximum grid power. The vector controls of the generator side converter and the grid side converter are controlled respectively to obtain maximum torque and regulate unity power factor. With Psim simulations and experiments, the efficiency of squirrel cage induction turbine model and the validity of control algorithm are verified.
