The main theme of this paper is to present novel controller, which is a genetic based fuzzy Logic controller, for interior permanent magnet synchronous motor drives with direct torque control. A radial basis function network has been used for online tuning of the genetic based fuzzy logic controller. Initially different operating conditions are obtained based on motor dynamics incorporating...

This paper deals with characteristics of interior permanent magnet synchronous motor considering anisotropic characteristics of electrical steel sheets. Motor characteristics of back electro-motive force (EMF), d-q axis inductances, and core loss are calculated by FEA considering anisotropy of electrical steel sheets and compared to the results from experiment and general FEA; using single mate...

This paper describes the calculation of torqueina brushless permanent-magnet line-start a.c. motor by means of the ~~UX-MMF diagram in combination with the finite-element method. Results are compared with measured ~~UX-MMF diagrams, with shaft torque measurements, and with torque calculated using the classical phasor diagram.

Effect of rotor iron pole radii and skew on performance of interior permanent magnet motors is studied in this paper. A comparison is carried out by finite element analysis method and is confirmed by the experimental results obtained with two laboratory prototypes. The results show that, although the skew method is very effective in suppressing the cogging torque of an interior permanent magnet...

Cogging torque is the major limitation of axial flux permanent magnet motors. The reduction of cogging torque during the design process is highly desirable to enhance the overall performance of axial flux permanent magnet motors. This paper presents a double-layer magnet design technique for cogging torque reduction of axial flux permanent magnet motor. Initially, 250 W, 150 rpm axial flux brus...
