In the field of factory automation, single phase induction motors are frequently used for speed control application because of its simplicity and low cost. In this paper, we compare the performances of a single phase induction type speed control motor with a BLDC motor. From the experimental results in the controllable torque-speed load range, the efficiency characteristics and safe operation load areas are compared for each type sample motor.

This paper present a method of current control for torque ripple reduction in brushless dc motor which have a trapezoid back EMF. In such drives the current ripples are generated by motor inductance in stator windings and the back EMF. The ripples suppression techniques that are practically effective in high speed as well as in low speed regions are rarely found. The proposed method here is based on a strategy that the commutation intervals of the incoming ang the outgoing phases can be equalized by a proper PWM control.

This paper proposes a robust control system with the disturbance observer for BLDC servo system. The overall control system is composed of the speed controller which is implemented with PI controller and the disturbance observer with free parameters. The BLDC servo system can improve the closed loop characteristics without affecting the command input response. The characteristics of the closed loop system is improved by suppressing disturbance effectively with the disturbance observer. Measurement noise is also considered by adjusting bandwidth of free parameters. We can overcome the drawbacks of the conventional PI controller. Finally, the performance of the controller is analyzed theoretically and some simulation results are presented to demonstrate the better performance than the conventional PI controllers.

A robust position control system for a BLDC motor using new sliding mode control strategy is presented. Using the new variable structure system, reaching phase problem is eliminated and transient response is largely improved by design of nonlinear sliding surface. The design of the sliding mode position controller is robust in motor parameter, load variations and disturbance. Experiment results show that the proposed approach can achieve accurate position motor tracking in face of large parameter variations and external disturbances, such as a robot arm, etc.

In this research, the characteristics of Brush-less DC (BLDC) motor in accordance with winding connection method, both Y-connection and D -connection, has been identified with design methodology simply. BLDC motor has been designed for both winding connections, and their torque analysis has been performed considering ideal current source analysis and voltage source analysis with 6-step control. In addition, to reduce torque ripple of BLDC motor, caused by coil inductance, on voltage source analysis with 6-step control, we have proposed suitable control method which is Phase Advance Control. It is verified that the torque ripple has been decreased by virtue of phase advance control, advancing and widening conduction angle of switching, via performance analysis by Finite Element Analysis.

This paper describes the characteristics of Electronic Throttle Controller (ETC) module in BLDC motor without the hall sensor for detecting a rotor position. The proposed ETC control system, which is mainly consisted of a BLDC motor, a throttle plate, a return spring and reduction gear, has a position sensor with an analogue voltage output on the throttle valve instead of BLDC motor for detecting the rotor position. So the additional commutation information is necessarily needed to control the ETC module. For this, the estimation method is applied. In order to improve and obtain the high resolution for the position control, it is generally needed to change the gear ratio of the module or the electrical switching method etc. In this paper, the 3-phase switching between successive commutations is adapted instead of the 2-phase switching that is conventionally used. In addition, the position control with a variable PI gain is applied to improve a dynamic response during a transient period and reduce vibration at a stop in case of matching position reference. The mentioned method can be used to estimate the commutation state and operate the high-precision position control for the ETC module and the high response characteristics. The validity of the proposed method is examined through the experimental results.

BLDC Motors are widely used in various speed control applications due to their ease of control and low cost. Generally, the unipolar PWM method is used for speed control applications. However, the unipolar PWM method has a current spike problem in the braking operation which can be a problem in speed reversal which generally happens in position control applications. However, the current spike problem can be solved by the conventional bipolar PWM method. Although the current spike problem can be solved, the conventional bipolar PWM method has the problem of a large current ripple. In this paper, a novel bipolar PWM method is proposed to solve this problem. The current ripple and the current spike problems are analyzed in this paper for the unipolar and bipolar PWM methods. At last, the merits of the proposed bipolar PWM method are proven by experiment.

In this paper, the feedback linearization technique is used with the sliding mode control for nonlinear system. The combination of these two control techniques can be achieved by proposing a novel sliding surface which has the nonminal dynamics of the original system controlled by feedback linearization technique. The noble design of the sliding surface is based on the augmented system whose dynamics have a higher order than that of the original system. The reaching phase is removed by using an initial virtual state which makes the initial sliding function equal to zero
