The mechanical vibration of a PM synchronous motor at low speeds due to the back emf harmonics may be serious problems in some application such as MDPS(Motor driven power steering), electric vehicles. In this paper, torque ripple reduction for an interior PM synchronous motor including back emf harmonics is proposed. The dq flux linkage harmonics of the permanent magnet are estimated on real time by using the dq currents of the real system and the model of the MRAS observer. Based on the estimated flux linkage harmonics, the dq harmonic currents for reducing the torque ripples are compensated on the dq reference currents. The estimation of the flux linkage harmonics by the MRAS observer and the torque ripple reduction of the proposed algorithm was verified by the simulation and experiment.

Recently with the motorizing of electric home appliances and car systems, there is increasing interest in high efficiency electric motors. Thus, the present study described the operating characteristics of coreless AFPM motor that is highly efficient in high speed driving, and discussed its electric characteristics from the perspective of design. In particular, we examined back electromotive force and the magnetic field characteristic in slits, which have significant effects on the characteristic of the motor, and conducted simulation and experiment on control characteristic according to inductance characteristic. This study analyzed torque speed and efficient operation characteristic as well as control characteristic through comparing the result of motor design with the result of output characteristic experiment based on the electric network method. Furthermore, we evaluated vibration and noise that may occur due to the absence of core.

This power proposes a new sensorless drive system for the trapezoidal brushless DC motor generally requiring mechanical position or speed sensor. For this an indirect rotor position sensing method from the back emf waveform of non-conducting phase is explained. Back emf waveform of non-conducting is obtained from analysing terminal voltage created by making Y-connection. And an experiment is implemented with a driving system which use 87c196mc microcontroller having a peripheral associated with 3-phase signals and inverter composed of Power MOSFET. The experimental results show the validity and practicality of the proposed sensorless drive.

In this paper, a novel indirect rotor position sensing method is proposed to improve the performClIlce of sensorless drive of brushless DC motors. The fast mode change to the sensorless operation is difficult in the existing indirect rotor position sensing methods because a precise rotor position can not be obtained when an excessive input is applied to the drive during synchronous operation mode. To cope with this problem, the relationship between terminal voltage and back-emf waveform is analyzed in this paper, also a novel indirect position sensing method which can detect a precise rotor position at low speed range is proposed. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through the experimental results.

Power saving module which is consisted of ferroelectric ceramic capacitor and time delay switching circuit was installed into electronic ballast in order to enhance energy efficacy and extend life time of fluorescent lamp. The impedance matching of negative resistance characteristics of F/L was optimized with the characteristics of ferroelectric ceramics capacitor to increase the light efficiency of the electronic ballast. The high efficiency of the electronic ballast was achieved by minimizing wasted power at the filament of F/L during the lighting by using the switching function of time delay circuit from preheating mode to non-preheating mode. The life time of F/L was also extended by eliminating the reverse electromotive force using time delay circuits to minimize the impacts to the filament of F/L from unwanted high voltage peaks during light-up period. As the results, the electronic ballast with the first grade energy efficiency was developed using ferroelectric ceramics and time delay module.

This paper proposes a new position compensation method for misaligned Hall-effect sensors of BLDCM(Brushless DC Motor). If the Hall-effect sensors are installed at wrong position, the exact rotor position cannot be obtained. Therefore, when the BLDCM is controlled with this wrong position, the torque ripple can be increased and the average torque also decreases. The back-EMF of BLDCM can be obtained by using the voltage equation and by multiplying the back-EMF constant and rotor speed. At a constant speed, the estimated back-EMF by using the multiplication of the back-EMF constant and rotor speed is constant, but the estimated back-EMF from the voltage equation decreases at the commutation point because the line-to-line back-EMF of two conducting phases is start to decrease at this point. Therefore, by using the difference between these two estimated back-EMFs, the commutation point of the phase current can be determined and position compensation can be carried out. The proposed position correction method doesn't require additional hardware circuit and can be easily implemented. The validity of the proposed position compensation method is verified through several experiments.

This paper proposes a simple initial rotor position estimation method to obtain a stable startup performance for back EMF-based sensorless control. The proposed estimation method is achieved at standstill by using the current response to difference between each of the stator winding inductance. This initial rotor position estimation method can be easily implemented to control algorithm without any other external devices. The proposed algorithm is also not affected by motor parameter. The validity of the proposed method is demonstrated by experimental result.

In order to increase reliability and reduce system cost, this paper studies particularly applicable method for sensorless PM BLDCM drive system. The waveform of the motor internal voltages(or back emf) contains a fundamental and higher order frequency harmonics. Therefore the third harmonic component is extracted from the stator phase voltage. The resulting third harmonic signal keeps a constant phase relationship with the rotor flux for any motor speed and load condition, and is practically free of noise that can be introduced by the inverter switching, making this a robust sensing method. In addition, a simple starting method and a speed estimation approach are also proposed. Some experimental results are Provided to demonstrate the validity of the proposed control method.
