This study focused on efficiency improvement of BLDC motors via reduction of torque ripple, core loss, and permanent magnet loss. To achieve this objective, we proposed an improved 150° commutation method for three-phase permanent magnet brushless DC (BLDC) motors to improve the current waveform. Although the 120° commutation method is generally employed for a BLDC motor, the 150° commutation m...

This paper presents an advanced torque ripple minimization method of a switched reluctance motor (SRM) using torque sharing function (TSF). Generally, TSF is applied into the torque control. However, the conventional TSF cannot follow the expected torque well because of the nonlinear characteristics of the SRM. Moreover, the tail current that is generated at a high speed motor drive makes unexp...

This paper presents a modeling and analysis of multi-phase inverter fed multi-phase induction motor drive with different number of phases. Multiphase induction motor drives possess several advantages over conventional three-phase drives such as lower torque pulsation, fault tolerance, stability, high efficiency and lower current ripple and reduced current per phase without increasing voltage pe...

This paper presents the application of Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) technique to reduce torque ripple in an induction motor employing Direct Torque Control (DTC).

This paper presents a speed sensorless direct torque control scheme using space vector modulation (DTC-SVM) for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive based a Model Reference Adaptive System (MRAS) algorithm and stator resistance estimator. The MRAS is utilized to estimate speed and stator resistance and compensate the effects of parameter variation on stator resistance, which makes fl...

Optimized shaping of the stator current in the switched reluctance motor drive can be used to mitigate electromagnetic torque ripple and decrease the rms current. Previously, optimal current waveshaping has been based upon defining the optimal current waveform as a set of discrete points and interpolating intermediate points. In this work, an alternate approach is employed in which the current ...

This paper uses the flux-MMF diagram to compare and contrast the torque production mechanism in seven common types of electric motor. The flux-mmf diagram is a generaked version of the flux-linkage versus current (+i) diagram €or switched-reluctance motors. It is illustrated €or switchedreluctance, synchronous-reluctance, induction, brushless ac, brushless dc, interior PM and dc commutator moto...

The induction motors are indispensable motor types for industrial applications due to its wellknown advantages.
