Recent trends in Radio Telescopes deploy BLDC motors for their 2-axis rotation. BLDC motors implement electronic commutation by avoiding carbon brushes and mechanical commutation. Resolvers mounted on rotor shaft of BLDC motors form good sensor feedback and work in-conjunction with RDC and FPGA interface to implement speed and position control. Brushes in DC torque form an important source of a...

This paper presents a new control structure to reduce torque ripple in switched reluctance motor. Although SRM possesses many advantages in motor structure, it suers from large torque ripple that causes some problems such as vibration and acoustic noise. In this paper another control loop is added and torque ripple is de ned as an objective function. By using fuzzy sliding mode strategy, the DC...

This thesis deals with the modeling, analysis and control of a novel brushless generator for wind power application. The generator is named as rotating power electronic brushless doubly-fed induction machine/generator (RPEBDFIM/G). A great advantage of the RPE-BDFIG is that the slip power recovery is realized in a brushless manner. This is achieved by introducing an additional machine termed as...

In this study, two types of multilevel convertors, cascaded multilevel inverter with separate DC sources and diode clamped multilevel inverter with common DC source are modeled and compared in the case of feeding of an induction motor. Here, SHEPWM technique is used as the switching strategy. Also a new variable torque feedback control on modulation index is presented, to preserve the induction...

The mathematical model of the equivalent circuit of a brushless DC motor switches during the operation due to commutation. This issue causes a sudden ripple in the output torque, which is called commutation torque ripple. Brushless DC motor drives suffer from commutation torque ripple, affecting the performance of the motor in practical applications. A discrete-time switched controller is propo...

This paper studies an electricity market consisting of an independent system operator (ISO) and a group of generators. The goal is to solve the DC optimal power flow (DC-OPF) problem: have the generators collectively meet the power demand while minimizing the aggregate generation cost and respecting line flow limits in the network. The ISO by itself cannot solve the DC-OPF problem as generators...

This paper deals with the design of Fractional Order Proportional Integral (FO-PI) controller for the speed control of DC motor. A mathematical model of DC motor control system is derived and based on this model fractional order PI controller is designed using stability boundary locus method to satisfy required gain margin (GM) and phase margin (PM) of the system. Servo and Regulatory tracking ...

This paper proposed to utilize the DC source from the solar PV. The DC/DC converter is the unidirectional power flow between the solar PV and load, while in existing its bidirectional. The proposed converter becomes compact using wide band gap devices which provide high efficiency and reduces heat generation of the circuit. PSO is used for the switching control for the converter. The converter ...
