Steering system is an important man-machine interface, for which transmits driver's lateral control intention to the vehicle. In order to improve the vehicle lateral stability, a double closed-loop control scheme of yaw rate for active front steering system was proposed in this paper. To investigate the control effects of the double closed-loop control scheme of yaw rate, a two degree-of-freedo...

Electric motors are the largest consumer of world electric energy, consuming more than twice as much as lighting, the next largest consumer. Electric motors account for between 43 and 46% of all global electricity consumption approximately. They give rise to about 6 040 Mt of CO2 emissions. End‐users approximately spend USD 565 billion per year on electricity [1]. In recent years, increase in e...

This paper presents the design of digital controller for a BLDC motor to control the speed and position control using Digital Signal Processor (DSP) TMS320LF 2407 which is used in an Electromechanical Actuator. Brushless D.C motor (BLDC) are one of the motor types rapidly gaining popularity. This motor offer a simple and rugged motor Solution for many variable speed drive application. Rotation ...

Brushless DC motors (BLDC) are widely used in industrial areas. The BLDC motors are driven either by indirect ACAC converters or by direct AC-AC converters. Direct AC-AC converters i.e. matrix converters are used in this paper to drive the three phase BLDC motor and it eliminates the bulky DC link energy storage element. A matrix converter converts the AC power supply to an AC voltage of variab...

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 ...

In classical control of brushless dc motors, flux distribution is assumed trapezoidal and fed current is controlled rectangular to obtain a desired constant torque. However, in reality this assumption may not be correct due to nonuniformity of magnetic materials and design trade-offs. These factors together with current controller limitation, can lead to an undesirable torqueripple. Hence torqu...

When compared to other types of motors, brushless DC (BLDC) motors have, larger torque, higher speed, greater efficiency, better control, longer maintenance life and are cleaner. However, their control circuitry is much more complicated than that of an ordinary brushed DC motor, often resulting in designers’ preference for other motor types. This paper will step through the design of both the h...
