A switching power stage is a very nonlinear system because it has two or more operation modes in one switching cycle. To model a switching power stage, the state space averaging method has been developed. Though it allows a unified treatment of a large variety of switching power stages, the model it yields is always very nonlinear. So, it is required to linearize the averaged model. But it is well known that a controller for a nonlinear plant designed by the linearization frequently fails in showing satisfactory control performance. Hence it is very natural to try to design a nonlinear controller for a switching power stage.

The mathematical interpretation of a practical sampler which is useful to obtain the small signal models for the peak and average current mode controls is proposed. Due to the difficulties in applying the Shannon's sampling theorem to the analysis of sampling effects embedded in the current mode control, several different approaches have been reported.

The turn-off driving scheme has adaptive feature to the amplitude of collector current, so that the overvoltage can be limited much effectively at the fault collector current. Experimental results under various normal and fault conditions prove the effectiveness of the proposed.

Brushless DC motors have trapezoidal back emf waveform. Generally, because it is drived by a voltage source inverter, the ideal rectangular phase current is not available and therefore produce torque ripple. In this paper, the torque ripple due to commutation is analysed and the practical method that can reduce the torque ripple is proposed. Simulation and experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The brushless DC motor with trapezoidal back emfs has torque ripple due to phase commutation. The torque ripple generates noise and vibration and cause errors in position control so this makes the brushless DC motor less suitable for high performance servo applications. In this paper, we propose a new current control method to reduce the torque ripple due to commutation, when the unipolar PWM method is applied for the phase current control of brushless DC motor.

This paper describes the controller for the improving speed control the AC servo motor. The microprocessor provides an output to the difference in command. The servo system improves the characteristics of speed control. When the motor is running at the same speed as set by the reference signal, the speed encoder also provides a signal of the same frequency. Thus, the microprocessor controlled digital techniques enable to realize the flexible performance and control which was possible with time constant. We can know that optimal speed of machining center is 75msec in 30000mm/min and actually, 75msec is using on machining center. Finally experimental results prove excellent performance of this control system. This can be reduced error with more exact measure of actual speed. The system can be adaptable to CNC machine.

Indirect vector control for induction motors requires the use of observers for estimation or observation of rotor flux magnitude and position. In this paper, authors discribe the induction motor vector control and introduce a nonlinear observer, named ELO(extended Luenberger Observer), without simulation results as a preliminary work for trial application. Normally, design of nonlinear observer need coordinate transfromation and linearization through solving the partial different equation. However, ELO requires minimal solution of nonlinear partial differential equation. Simulation was performed by under the enviroment of Matlab and Simulink without the proposed observer because we are still working. Simulation was performed with conventional flux observer, a dc-ac inverter by SVPWM technique, a vector controller armed with multiple PI controllers

This paper proposes a programmable low pass filter(LPF) to estimate stator flux for speed sensorless stator flux orientation control of induction motors. The programmable LPF is developed to solve the dc drift problem associated with a pure integrator and an analog LPF with fixed pole. of the programmable LPF is located far from the origin in order to decrease the time constant as speed increases. The programmable LPF has the phase and the magnitude compensator to exactly estimate stator flux in a wide speed range. So, the drift problem is much improved and the stator flux is exactly estimated in the wide speed range. The validity of the proposed programmable LPF is verified by speed sensorless vector control of a 2.2[kW] three-phase induction motor.

This paper presents a newly developed speed sensorless drive using RLS(Recursive Least Squares) based on Neural Network Training Algorithm. The proposed algorithm based on the RLS has just the time-varying learning rate, while the well-known back-propagation (or generalized delta rule) algorithm based on gradient descent has a constant learning rate. The number of iterations required by the new algorithm to converge is less than that of the back-propagation algorithm. The RLS based on NN is used to adjust the motor speed so that the neural model output follows the desired trajectory. This mechanism forces the estimated speed to follow precisely the actual motor speed. In this paper, a flux estimation strategy using filter concept is discussed. The theoretical analysis and experimental results to verify the effectiveness of the proposed analysis and the proposed control strategy are described.

In this paper, we propose a speed sensorless control of the saturated induction motor using the zero sequence third harmonic voltages and a compensation method of the stator resistance variations. The air-gap flux of the saturated induction motor contains the space harmonic components rorating synchronous frequency. As a function of the air-gap flux saturation, the dominant third harmonic voltage is used to compensate the non-linear variations of the mutual inductance depending on the saturation level of the motor. and also the stator resistance variations can be measured with the phase angle between the voltage vector and the zero sequencial voltages. The validity of the proposed compensation scheme in the speed sensorless control using rotor flux observer is verified by simulations.

In order to obtain better performance for a SRM(switched reluctance motor) drive, the commutation from one phase to another must be as fast as possible. In this paper a novel converter for SRM drive is proposed, which can accelerate the turn-off and turn-on time by using two capacitors to form a resonant circuit with the motor inductance. Two capacitors recover rapidly stored energy in the off going phase and establish rapidly the current rising in the on going phase. As a result, the current tail can be shortened and the dwell angle in the positive torque region can be extended. And comparing with the asymmetric converter, this converter has higher energy availability in energy conversion process and less number of switches.
