Recent developments in Soft computing techniques, power electronic switches and low-cost computational hardware have made it possible to design and implement sophisticated control strategies for sensorless speed control of AC motor drives.

Switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive has remarkable characteristics that make it attractive for high-speed applications. As the motor's speed increases the shape of the current waveform changes in such way that limits the production of motoring torque. At high speeds, it is possible for the phase current never reaches the desired value due to the self e.m.f. of the motor, therefore, the torque...

The commutation process causes current ripple to be generated in the drive system of brushless DC (BLDC) motor. This, in turn, leads to output torque ripple. Mechanical vibration and acoustic noise are its influences which are undesirable phenomenon in some applications. A new method is presented in this paper which reduces torque ripple and commutation period in the entire range of motor speed...

Rotation of a single bacterial flagellar motor is powered by multiple stators tethered to the cell wall. In a " power-stroke " model the observed independence of the speed at low load on the number of stators is explained by a torque-dependent stepping mechanism independent of the strength of the stator tethering spring. On the other hand, in models that depend solely on the stator spring to ex...

The sensorless DTC of Brushless AC (BLAC) machine using Luenberger observer is proposed in this paper. In Direct Torque Control (DTC), accurate rotor position information is not essential. The speed is estimated by Luenberger observer, which used to improve the performance of dynamic tracking and accuracy of the whole system. The speed regulation is realized by a conventional PI regulator. Simu...

The MRAS is utilized to estimate speed and stator resistance and compensate the effects of parameter variation on stator resistance, which makes fl...

The bacterial flagellar motor plays a crucial role in both bacterial locomotion and chemotaxis. Recent experiments reveal that the switching dynamics of the motor depend on the rotation speed of the motor, and thus the motor torque, nonmonotonically. Here we present a unified mathematical model which treats motor torque generation based on experimental torque-speed curves and the torque-depende...
