Hybrid Electric Vehicles(HEVs) have seriously come into prevalence recently as car manufacturers and consumers have become more aware of the environmental and economic problems of conventional vehicles. For the alternative power-train and battery cooling systems in HEVs, an effective thermal management system is required, and many automakers are interested in using Brushless DC(BLDC) motors for cooling fans for the overall traction unit's performance and energy saving capability. This paper presents the development status of BLDC motors as major parts of the power-train, i.e. the engine cooling and battery cooling fans of HEVs. A design that uses BLDC motors for the power-train and each battery cooling fan, is successfully implemented through using electro-magnetic analysis, and prototype BLDC motors are examined. As experimental results, the BLDC motors achieved an efficiency of 85% as engine cooling fans and 72% as a battery thermal management fan motor. The electric cogging noise is significantly reduced by changing the skew of the slot pitch angle and optimizing the magnetic shape.

A brushless DC (BLDC) motor control system for four-axis driving fins to control the flight attitude of a guided artillery munition is developed in this study. This system adopts a simple sensorless control scheme without a Hall sensor. A 12-step driving sensorless BLDC motor scheme is used to improve the output torque. This system has many restrictive problems that hinder the verification of a real system. For example, this has cost and environmental limitations. Therefore, this study develops HILS to verify a four-axis driving fin control system and verifies the position control system hardware by HILS operation.

In this paper, a BLDC(Brushless DC) motor control system for driving fins to control the flight attitude of the guided artillery munition is developed. This system adopts a sensorless control scheme without any position sensor such as a Hall sensor fragile at high altitudes. The sensorless control of the BLDC motor is achieved by using commutation signals obtained from the measured pole voltages. The position control of the fin is also performed by using of the estimated speed from the commutation signals. The experimental results on the actual fin drive system demonstrated that the developed sensorless control algorithm can give an excellent position control performance.

This paper presents the analysis for power consumption, mechanical vibration and acoustic noise characteristics of the Coreless and Slotless Brushless DC motor in Digital Lightening Processor(DLP) Motor with the Air-Dynamic Bearing. The Coreless BLDC motor has not the stator yoke as well as the stator slot to remove the unbalance force by the interaction between the stator yoke and Air-Dynamic Bearing clearance. The assembling tolerance and the processing error make the air-gap difference between the magnet and the stator yoke .which occurs the unbalanced electro-magnetic force in the Slotless BLDC motor. It imposes the air-dynamic bearing on the disturbance force and makes the Air-Dynamic Bearing vibrated and noised. Also, The attractive force between the magnet and the silicon steel stator yoke increases the power consumption. In this paper, the power consumption, mechanical vibration and acoustic noise of the Coreless BLDC motor and the Slotless BLDC motor with the silicon steel stator yoke are simulated, analyzed, and tested using the manufactured proto-type motors with Air-Dynamic bearing. The simulated and tested results present that the Coreless BLDC motor without the silicon steel stator yoke has the lower mechanical vibration and noise ,and lower power consumption than the Slotless BLDC motor with the silicon steel stator yoke in Digital Lightening Processor Motor with Air-Dynamic Bearing.

브러시리스 DC 전동기(BLDC)는 스위치의 on/off 각이 최적의 고정자와 회전자의 정렬상태에 의해 결정되는 반면에, 스위치드 릴럭턴스 전동기 (SRM)은 스위치의 on/off 각이 많은 파라미터의 복잡한 함수로 나타나고 따라서 최적의 운전을 하기 위해서는 스위칭 각이 가변적으로 된다. 따라서 스위치드 릴럭턴스 전동기 (SRM)을 최적으로 운전하기 위해서 고해상도의 위치 센서와 복잡한 부가 회로 등을 이용하여 회전자 위치를 검출할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 스위치드 릴럭턴스 전동기 (SRM)를 구동할 수 있는 여러 가지 방법 중 엔코더, 홀센서, 옵토-인터럽터 (opto interrupter) 등 다양한 센서들을 활용하여 회전자 위치 검출 및 관련 위치 검출 회로적용, 검출된 회전자의 초기위치 확보에 관한 연구를 하였다.

전기식 파워 스티어링(EPS)은 유압식 파워스티어링에 비해 연비가 높고 스티어링 느낌이 좋으며 체적이 작으므로 자동차에 많이 적용되고 있다. 몇 년 전까지 대부분의 EPS 시스템에는 제어가 쉽고 하드웨어 구조가 간단한 영구자석 DC 모터가 주로 적용되었으나 최근에는 효율이 높고 수명이 긴 BLAC 모터가 적용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 최근에 발표된 논문들을 기초로 EPS 시스템의 구조 및 BLAC 모터와 제어기술에 대해 고찰한다. 또한 스티어링 느낌을 좋게 하기 위한 토크리플 저감 및 안전을 위한 고장검출 알고리즘에 대해서도 검토한다.

A novel inverter fault-tolerant control scheme is proposed to drive brushless DC motor. A fault-tolerant inverter and its three fault-tolerant schemes (i.e., phase A fault-tolerant, phase B fault-tolerant, and phase C fault-tolerant) are analyzed. Eight voltage vectors are summarized and a voltage vector selection table is used in the control scheme to improve the midpoint current of the split capacitors. A stator flux observer is proposed. The observer can improve flux estimation, which does not require any speed adaptation mechanism and is immune to speed estimation error. Global stability of the flux observer is guaranteed by the Lyapunov stability analysis. A novel stator resistance estimator is incorporated into the sensorless drive to compensate for the effects of stator resistance variation. DC offset effects are mitigated by introducing an integral component in the observer gains. Finally, a control system based on the control scheme is established. Simulation and experiment results show that the method is correct and feasible.

The small precision spindle motors in the high value-added products including the visible home appliances such as DLP projector require not only the energy conversion devices but also high efficiency, low vibration and sound operation. However, the spindle motors using the conventional ball bearing and sintered porous metal bearing have following problems, respectively: the vibration by the irregularity of balls and the short motor life cycle by the ball's abrasion and higher sound noises by dry contact between shaft and sleeve. In this paper, it is proposed that the spindle motor with a fluid dynamic bearing is suitable for the motor to drive the color wheel of the DLP(digital lightening processor) in the visible home appliances. The proposed spindle motor is composed of the fluid dynamic bearing with both the radial force and the thrust force. The fluid dynamic bearing is solved by the finite element analysis of the mechanical field with the Reynolds equations. The magnetic part of spindle motor, which is a type of Brushless DC Motor, is designed by the electro-magnetic field analysis coupled with the Maxwell equation. And the load capacity and the friction loss of fluid dynamic bearing are analyzed to bearing clearance variation by the fabrication error in designed motor. The design of the proposed motor is implemented by the load torque caused by the eccentricity and the unbalance of the fluid dynamic bearing when the motors are fabricated in error. The prototype of the motor with the fluid dynamic bearing is manufactured, and experiment results show the vibration, sound, and phase current at no load and color wheel load of the motors in comparison. The high performance characteristics with the low vibration, the low acoustic noise and the optimal mechanical structure are verified by the experimental results.

본 논문에서는 BLDC 전동기 센서리스 드라이브의 성능 향상을 위한 새로운 전동기 제어 기법을 제안한다. 최근 센서리스 제어방법의 주류를 이루고 있는 단자전압을 이용하는 방식들은 전동기를 동기 모드로 운전할 때 과도한 전압이 인가되면, 회전자 위치를 정확하게 검출할 수 없다. 특히 과도상태영역에서의 응답특성이 좋지 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 미지 입력인 역기전력을 추가적인 시스템의 상태로 모델링하고, 전체 시스템을 역기전력에 대한 미분방정식 형태 외란 모델을 도입한 확장 상태방정식으로 표현함으로서 얻어지는 상태관측기를 통하여 전동기의 속도 및 회전자 위치를 추정하는 새로운 알고리즘을 제안한다.

BLDC motor is used in a wide variety of industrial and servo applications. Its features and advantages mainly consist in high value of torque/inertia ratio, high efficiency with speed range and high dynamic performance. This paper deals with the speed control of a trapezoidal type brushless DC motor using Fuzzy PI controller. The conventional PI controller has been widely used in industrial applications. If we select a optimal PI control gain, the PI controller shows very good control performance. But it is very difficult to find the optimal PI control gain. Fuzzy control does not need any model of plant and is basically adaptive and gives robust performance for plant parameter variation. Therefore the combinations of conventional PI controller and fuzzy controller seem to be very effective. This paper deals with PI controller with 4-rule based fuzzy controller. The proposed fuzzy PI controller increases the control performance of the conventional PI controller. Simulation and experimental results show that fuzzy PI controller has a good robustness regarding the improper tuned PI controller.
