Recent studies show that synchronous reluctance motors (SynRMs) present promising technologies. As a result, research on trending SynRMs drive systems has expanded. This work disseminates the recent developments of design, modeling, and more specifically, control these motors. Firstly, brief study dominant motor technologies compared to is carried out. Secondly, most prominent methods are studi...

The paper presents a methodology for developing adaptive speed controllers in a permanent-magnet brushless DC (BLDC) motor drive system. A proportional-integral controller is employed in order to obtain the controller parameters at each selected load. The resulting data from PI controller are used to train adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS) that could deduce the controller parameter...

Modern AC drives require a fast digital realization of many mathematical operations concerning control and estimator’s algorithms, which are time consuming. Therefore developing of custom built digital interfaces as well as digital data processing blocks and sometimes even integration of ADC converters into single integrated circuit is necessary. Due to the fact that developing an ASIC chip is ...

In this paper presents a symmetrical five level cascaded inverter topology for Induction motor drive. It can continuously works at lower power stage. For this symmetrical circuit, when the number of level is increased, the voltage and power will also get increased. For reducing harmonics the Sinusoidal PWM method is used. The multilevel inverter gives the output to drive the three phase Inducti...

The paper focuses on some aspects of control and estimation in electric drives with inverter output filters. The filters are used in some industrial drives with pulse width modulated (PWM) inverters. They smoothes the motor supply voltage and current so nearly sinusoidal shapes are obtained. The filters can also limit the bearing current and shaft voltages. Because of the voltage drop and phase...

The ability to perform accurate limb movements may require learning mechanisms that continually tune the motor system. In the current study, we isolate a form of pure limb motor plasticity. Participants reached to targets that were turned off just after the onset of an initial eye movement, reappearing at a new location at the end of the reaching movement. In contrast to classical prism or virt...

This thesis considers robust control of an induction motor drive, consisting of an input filter, a voltage source inverter and one or several induction motors in parallel. The motor torque is here controlled by using the method Indirect Self Control (ISC), and power oscillations between the inverter and the input filter are damped by means of a stabilization controller in an outer feedback loop...

Despite widespread industrial application of harmonic drives, mathematical representation of their dynamics has not been fully addressed. In this theoretical/experimental study of harmonic drive systems a systematic way to capture and rationalize the dynamics of the system is proposed. Simple and accurate models for compliance, hysteresis, and friction are given and the model parameters are est...
