ermanent Magnet Brushless DC Motor (PMBLDC) is one of the best electrical drives that have increasing popularity, due to their high efficiency, reliability, good dynamic response and very low maintenance. Due to the increasing demand for compact & reliable motors and the evolution of low cost power semiconductor switches and permanent magnet (PM) materials, brushless DC motors become popular in...

In the current paper, the optimization shape of a polysilicon variable-capacitance micromotor (VCM) was determined using the seeker optimization algorithm (SOA). The optimum goal of the algorithm was to find the maximum torque value and minimum ripple torque by varying the geometrical parameters. The optimization process was performed using a combination of SOA and the finite-element method (FE...

The induction motors have wide range of applications for due to its well-known advantages like brushless structures, low costs and robust performances. Over the past years, many kind of control methods are proposed for the induction motors and direct torque control has gained huge importance inside of them due to fast dynamic torque responses and simple control structures. However, the direct t...

Direct torque control (DTC) of an induction motor fed by a voltage source inverter is a simple scheme that does not need long computation time and can be implanted without mechanical speed sensors and is insensitive to parameter variations. In principle, the motor terminal voltages and currents are sampled and used to estimate the motor flux and torque. Based on estimates of the flux position a...

Simple power electronics and fault tolerance are advantages of SRM drives. However, excessive torque ripple has limited their application. This paper presents a novel method of controlling the motor currents to minimise the torque ripple based on a neurofuzzy compensator. In the proposed controller, a compensating signal is added to the output of a PI controller, in a current-regulated speed co...

In a multi-layer interior permanent magnet synchronous motor, the dand q-axis parameters vary nonlinearly according to different load conditions, consequently changing the level of saturation. The flux-linkage of dand q-axis conveys ripple characteristics resulting from mechanical structure and degree of magnetic saturation. If the calculated flux-linkage is correct, the torque using the Maxwel...

First part is dedicated to the presentation of the feedback control of three-level PWM rectifier. In the second part, three-level NPC voltage source inverter balancing DC bus algorithm is presented. A theoretical analysis with a complete simulation of ...

Simple power electronic drive circuit and fault tolerance of converter are specific advantages of SRM drives, but excessive torque ripple has limited its application. This paper presents a novel method of controlling the motor currents to minimize the torque ripple, using a neuro-fuzzy compensator. In the proposed control concept, a compensating signal is added to the output of a classical PI c...
