The objective of the proposed work is to investigate the performance of hybrid self tuned fuzzy proportional integral derivative (STFPID) controller for brushless DC (BLDC) motor drive. The proposed hybrid STFPID controller includes a proportional integral derivative (PID) controller at steady state, a PID type self tuned fuzzy logic (FL) controller (STFLC) at transient state thereby combining ...

In this paper one presents an electro-hydrostatic servo-actuator (EHA) driven by a brushless d.c. motor. The constructive solution studied here was chosen due to the current trends in making All-Electric Aircraft (AEA). EHA contains two subsystems: the electrical subsystem and the hydraulic subsystem. The hydraulic subsystem is composed by a local gear pump, a hydraulic cylinder with bilateral ...

Received Jan 17, 2017 Revised Mar 17, 2017 Accepted Mar 31, 2017 Brushless DC motor is a synchronous machine that makes use of electronic commutation instead of mechanical commutator. Brushless DC motors makes use of inverter encompassing static switches for its operation. A simple bridge converter when used for BLDC drive as front end converter makes input source power factor to get reduced wh...

This paper discusses the influence of the position feedback sensor technology in servo drive applications. Incremental encoders, resolvers, and sinusoidal encoders are considered. Different hardware and software techniques used for the processing of position measurement signals are presented. Advantages and drawbacks are discussed for each solution. The choice of the best suited position feedba...

In this paper, a compact magnetic bearing system has been developed for axial flow blood pumps. The system is composed of two radial hybrid magnetic bearings (HMBs) and a brushless permanent magnet DC motor. The impeller of the pump is enclosed in the rotor that is suspended by the two HMBs with five-degree of freedom (DOF) control, among which four radial directions are actively controlled, an...

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...

Multi-domain dynamic simulation is becoming an issue in the design of high performance mechatronic systems, where advances are foreseen only if the mutual interaction of different parts of the system is well understood. The modelling environment provided by DYMOLA with Modelica language proved to be ideal for studying the mutual effects of mechanics, electronics and control in a brushless motor...
