본 논문에서는 브러시리스 직류 전동기(BLDCM)의 정류과정에서 발생하는 유도성 상 전류의 위상각 제어에 의한 토크 리플의 감소 방법에 대하여 연구한다. 고정자 코일에서 발생하는 유도성 전이 전류에 대한 위상지연의 크기는 전동기의 회전속도에 따라 달라지므로, 속도에 대한 보상각을 결정하고 테이블 처리에 의하여 실시간 제어한다. 실험으로, AVR 8515 마이크로 프로세서를 이용하여 위상지연을 보상하는 회로를 설계하였으며 4극 3상의 브러시리스 직류 전동기에 대하여 전동기의 모든 운전영역에서 토크 리플이 현저하게 감소함을 확인하였다.

This paper presents the rotor shape optimization of an interior type permanent magnet (IPM) motor for a reduction of vibration and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). The vibration and EMI in permanent magnet motors is generated by cogging torque ripple, radial force and commutation torque ripple. Consequently, in order to improve vibration and EMI, the optimal notches are put on the rotor pole with an arc shape proposed. The variation of vibration frequency due to the cogging torque and radial force of each model is computed by the finite element method (FEM). From the analysis result and experiment, we confirmed the proposed model has remarkably improved the vibration and EMI.

The discrete torque generation mechanism and inherently nonlinear magnetic characterization of switched reluctance motors lead to unacceptable torque ripples and limit the application of these motors. In this study, a phase current profiling technique and torque sharing function are proposed in consideration of magnetic saturation effects and by minimizing power loss in the commutation area between the adjacent phases. Constant torque trajectories are considered in incoming and outgoing phase current planes based on nonlinear T-i-theta curves obtained from experimental measurements. Optimum points on constant torque trajectories are selected by improving drive efficiency and minimizing copper loss in each rotor position. A novel analytic invertible function is introduced to express phase torque based on rotor position and its corresponding phase current. The optimization problem is solved by the proposed torque function, and optimum torque sharing functions are derived. A modification method is also introduced to enhance the torque ripple-free region based on simple logic rules. Compared with conventional torque sharing functions, the resultant reference current from the proposed method has less peak and effective values and exhibits lower copper loss. Experimental and simulation results from a four-phase 4 KW 8/6 SRM validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

SRMs(Switched Reluctance Motors) are much interested in high speed applications due to the mechanical robustness, simple structure and high efficiency. In spite of many advantages of SRMs, a higher torque ripple discourages the adoption of SRMs in a high speed application. This paper presents a simple negative torque of tail current compensation scheme using a modified TSF(Torque Sharing Function) for the high speed SRMs. Because of the short commutation in the high speed region, the negative torque from the tail current makes the high torque ripple. In order to reduce and compensate the negative torque from tail current, the proposed control scheme produces an additional compensating torque with a reference torque in the active phase winding. And the compensating value is dependent on the tail current of the inactive phase winding. Furthermore, the switching signals of the outgoing phase are fully turned off to restrict the extended tail current, and the torque error of the outgoing phase is compensated by the incoming phase. The proposed modified TSF control scheme is verified by the computer simulations with 30,000[rpm] high speed 4/2 SRM. The simulation and experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

소형 BLDC(Brushless DC) 전동기는 높은 운전효율과 고토크 특성으로 인하여, 산업용 기계와 가전기기 및 특히 의료용 장비에 널리 사용되고 있다. 일반적인 BLDC 전동기의 경우에 전류(commutation) 구간에서의 토크 리플 억제에 대한 다양한 연구가 이루어져 왔다. 하지만, 초고속 BLDC 전동기의 경우 설계 특성상 전기적 시정수가 매우 짧아서 전류 구간에서의 토크 리플 보다 통전 구간에서의 토크 리플이 더 큰 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 논문에서는 40000rpm급 초고속 소형 BLDC 전동기의 전기적 시상수에 따른 통전구간에서의 토크리플을 해석하고, 토크 리플 억제를 위하여, 순시 전압 제어기와 고속 히스테리시스 전류 제어기를 제안한다. 제안된 순시 전압제어기는 통전구간에서의 토크 리플 억제를 위하여 운전속도와 부하전류에 적합한 전압을 순시적으로 제어하여 BLDC 전동기에 공급하고, 고속 히스테리시스 전류 제어기는 DSP의 지령전류에 따라, 제어 주기의 샘플링 지연없이 부하전류를 제어하는 시스템이다. 제안된 초고속 소형 BLDC 전동기의 토크 리플 억제를 위한 제어 시스템은 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 통하여 그 타당성을 증명하였다.

This paper presents a high performance pressure control scheme for SR(Switched Reluctance) type hydraulic oil pump using DITC(Direct Instantaneous Torque Control). SR drive has a good feature for pump applications due to a high efficiency, high speed and high torque characteristics. But, SR drive has high torque ripple in commutation region. So, the pump pressure variation is high in the region. In order to reduce the pressure variation, DITC combined with pressure control scheme is presented in this paper. A simple PI controller with flow and pressure limit, generates a reference torque to keep the constant actual pump pressure. The direct torque controller of SR drive generates inverter switching signals according to a control rule and a torque estimator. Computer simulation and experiemtal results show the validation of the proposed control scheme.

In this paper, we describe the optimal driving method and magnetic flux distribution of permanent magnet which enhance torque characteristics in small-sized 3-phase brushless DC motors. The disadvantages of conventional $120^{\circ}$ constant current drive method are torque ripple, switching noise and spike voltage due to the inductance of stator coil. This shortcommings can be avoided by the switching slew-rate of driving current which is called linear voltage driving method. The aim of this study is to analyze linear voltage driving method quantatively and to determine optimal drive current waveform through computer simulation. The selection of commutation angle and slew rate of a new driving current at switching instants makes torque ripple index minimize and average torque maximize. And the validity of this new driving method was assured by Fourier analysis. Considering two dimensional nonlinear magnetic flux distribution on the permanent magnet, we suggest optimal flux distribution according to the presented driving method which improves torque characteristics.

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 proposed the ways for reduction of the prominent peak of the tone noise in air conditioning units. In order to find out the sources of the tone noise, the resonant frequencies and modes of the fans were investigated. Also, the effects of the ambient temperatures and material properties of the fans on the tone noise were studied. From the experiments, it was shown that the tone noise was greatly influenced by the torsional resonance of the fan and motor system and commutation frequency. In other words, the torsional resonance of the fan and motor system has not to be close to the commutation frequency (torque ripple frequency) which creates a rate of change in the angular acceleration in order to reduce the tone noise in air conditioning units.
