In this paper, a novel controller for brushless DC (BLDC) motor has been presented. The proposed controller is based on Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and the rigorous analysis through simulation is performed using simulink tool box in MATLAB environment. The performance of the motor with proposed ANFIS controller is analyzed and compared with classical Proportional Integral (PI)...

This paper presents a hybrid model–based control algorithm that combines Model Predictive Control (MPC) and Sequential Action Control (SAC) deployed in a high-speed drive for Brushless DC (BLDC) motor by using a DC-DC converter with Gallium Nitride (GaN) switches. GaN FETs are selected because of their higher speed and lower power loss as compared with traditional Si switches. In the proposed f...

This paper reports on methods for the analysis of electrical machines by combined electromagnetic and thermal models using commercial software which can be an aid to the design of these machines. Examples using a brushless permanent-magnet motor and an induction motor illustrate the tools available and techniques possible.
