This paper presents a hybrid fuzzy logic proportional plus conventional integral-derivative controller (FP+ID) for the speed control of permanent magnet brushless dc (PMBLDC) motor. Though, PID controllers are commonly used in practice, they have failed to perform satisfactory under nonlinearity, load disturbances, parameter variation etc. In this paper, the performance of the permanent magnet ...

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 this paper, different electric motors are studied and compared to see the benefits of each motor and the one that is more suitable to be used in the electric vehicle (EV) applications. There are five main electric motor types, DC, induction, permanent magnet synchronous, switched reluctance and brushless DC motors are studied. It is concluded that although the induction motors technology is ...

Electric motors that have found wide application in various sectors of industry Have unique features such as high reliability, high efficiency, quick acceleration and have small sizes. Brushless DC motors meet these requirements well. In this study, the design of a brushless DC motor speed limits for the particular application at 1800 rpm that can be equivalent to 140 watts output was provided....

The paper investigates various non-linear observer-based rotor position estimation schemes for sensorless control of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs). Attributes of particular importance to the application of brushless motors in the automotive sector, are considered e.g. implementation cost, accuracy of predictions during load transients, the impact of motor saliency and algorithm co...

Flywheel systems based on fibre composites can have power densities which are significantly better than for electrochemical batteries. Hence, they have considerable potential for use as peak power buffers in drive-trains for electric and hybrid vehicles. As the rotational speed is increased, however, bearing friction power loss and iron losses in the motor/generator become more significant. Thu...

The considered converter-fed permanent magnet motor could alternatively be operated in two basically different states − the vector control mode or alternatively the brushless dc, also known as electronically commutated mode. Several quality aspects concerning the system performance have been comparatively investigated in practical as well as theoretical manner. Focus is thereby given to the num...

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...
