Permanent-magnet-synchronous-machine (PMSM) drives have been increasingly applied in a variety of industrial applications which require fast dynamic response and accurate control over wide speed ranges. At the basis of analysis of the mathematical model of the permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) and the principle of field-orientated vector control, a novel method for modeling and simulink...

Cogging torque is a critical dilemma in Permanent Magnet Brushless DC (PMBLDC) motors. In medium-low power PMBLDC motors, redundant vibrations and forbidding noises arise as result of the harmonic magnetic forces created by cogging torque. This paper introduces simple approach for minimizing motors applying placement irregularities rotor magnets. An angle shift magnets surface-mounted helps to ...

A major part of the power consumption in the low-wattage reciprocating compressors, used for household refrigeration units, is associated with the motor. A variable speed compressor as opposed to a single speed compressor is known to provide energy savings due to its ability to match the load demand from the pump more closely to the power delivered by the pump. The current article presents an o...

An experimental investigation is conducted to determine the behaviour of brushless PM synchronous machine parameters in the high speed flux weakening operating range. Real-time operating characteristics are determined for two commercially available 4 N·m interior PM synchronous machines. Special computer assisted measuring techniques are employed using an experimental vector controlled drive, c...

In a conventional three phase Brushless DC machine with 120° electrical conduction, Harmonics and commutation torque ripple occurs because of changeover of load current from one phase to another at every 60 electrical degrees. This paper presents techniques for diminishing the harmonics and torque ripples in sensor Brushless DC motor. This torque ripple reduction techniques based on voltage con...

This paper presents a flux-modulated direct drive (FMDD) motor. The key is to integrate the magnetic gear with the PM motor while removing the gear inner-rotor. Hence, the proposed FMDD motor can achieve the low-speed high-torque output and high-speed compact design requirements as well as high-torque density with a simple structure. The output power equation is analytically derived. By using f...

The three-phase permanent magnet brushless dc (BLDC) motor inherently needs an electronic commutation circuit to drive it because it is not a self-commutating motor. It is contrary to the conventional brush motor which commutates itself. This paper presents a comparison study of three widely used different commutation methods in terms of the complexity of the commutation circuit, torque ripple,...

─ Brushless dc (BLDC) motor drives are continually gaining popularity in motion control applications. Therefore, it is necessary to have low cost, but effective speed/torque characteristics. A Brushless DC (BLDC) drives are known for higher efficiency and lower maintenance. As the name implies, BLDC motors do not use brushes for commutation instead, they are electronically commutated. For effec...

In this paper we give energy-optimal excitation current waveforms for a permanent magnet synchronous motor that result in a desired average torque. Our formulation generalizes previous work by including a general back-EMF waveform, voltage and current limits, an arbitrary phase winding connection, a simple eddy current loss model, and a trade-off between power loss and torque ripple. Determinin...
