This paper presents a voltage angle control strategy for surface permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM) drives used in low-cost applications, wherein a current vector control is not employed. In the proposed method, the current vector control scheme, which requires high precision phase-current sensing units and a fast calculation capability of a motor drive controller, is replaced with the voltage angle controller. The proposed voltage angle controller calculates a d-axis voltage command to make the d-axis current zero by using a simple equation obtained from the voltage equation of SPMSM. The proposed method shows performance similar to the current vector controlled SPMSM drive during steady-states and its structure is very simple and thus it can be easily implemented with a low-cost microcontroller. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through simulations and experiments.

The single phase angle control system may become noisy when speed Is modulated with a conventional TRIAC AC controller. But this system is widely used despise of occurring sub-harmonic current because of its simply structure and low cost. Most of the vacuum cleaner drive control system regulates TRIAC's phase angle, so that it is controlled the speed. In the case of marketing product, it is not considered linearity of the speed to minimize occurring harmonic current. The sub-harmonic current reduces effectively in regulating specification TRIAC trigger phase angle. In this paper, we examined about characteristics of phase angle controller and parameter of parallel coil for eliminating sub-harmonic current.

In this paper, we confirm that the instanteneous phase current of the bifilar-wound hybrid stepping motor is dependent of lead angle by the experimental results. The variation of phase current with lead angle gives informations about the rotor position at the moment when phase winding coil is excited. We show that the rotor position of the bifilar-wound hybrid stepping motor for the closed-loop drives can be detected by using the instantaneous phase current measurement. We propose an instantaneous phase current equation as the function of electrical lead angle by the modeling of the bifilar-wound hybrid stepping motor. We also analyze the relationship between instantaneous phase current and rotor position by the computer simulation results. By the experimental results, we also confirm that the information about the rotor position can be obtained from the instantaneous phase current values at the instance of $\pi/2$ electrical angle of excitation pulse. pulse.

Variable iron loss as function of current phase angle of Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor(IPMSM) was calculated through Curve Fitting Method(CFM). Also, a magnetic flux density distribution of iron core according to current phase angle was analyzed, and an iron loss calculation was performed including harmonic distortion. The experiment was performed by production of non-magnetizing model for the separation of mechanical loss, and the iron loss was calculated by the measurement of input using power analyzer and output power using dynamometer. Some error was generated between experimental results and calculation value, but an iron loss diminution according to current phase angle followed a same pattern. So, errors were generated by measurement, vibration, noise, harmonic distortion loss, etc.

Classically, reluctance torque of IPMSM(Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) by using inductance according to current phase angle generates an error. This error is affected by total torque. From current phase angle $0^{\circ}$ to large errors will occur, because reluctance torque include current phase angle. But, reluctance torque from steady-state voltage equation of IPMSM is represented by linkage flux. So, reluctance torque is unrelated to the current phase angle formula can be derived. In this paper, operating torque was analyzed by d, q-axis linkage flux of IPMSM and reluctance torque to perform calculations reduced the error of the total torque calculation.

In this paper, advance angle control is described to drive an industrial low voltage SRM(Switched reluctance motor) for a forklift truck by changing velocity and torque. The high current SRM is designed and its phase resistance and phase inductance are very low to inject high current into the phase windings. In this reason, the current has to be built up in the increasing phase inductance part as soon as possible. Therefore, the phase switch must be turned on before the phase inductance increases, and this angle is called as the advance angle. We analyze the changes of the advance angle as its torque and velocity are changed in the real SRM driving experiment. And we propose the way to improve the SRM performance by using the advance angle control.

2G HTS tapes are widely used for various electric machines. In addition, stacked or parallel connected HTS tapes are essentially used to raise transport current level for large capacity electric machines. Therefore, critical current characteristic of stacked tapes need to be studied. Recently developed 2G HTS tapes are fabricated with various defects doping so that tapes possess pinning center to improve the critical current characteristic. During this process, the critical current is determined minimum value in not perpendicular magnetic field but a specific magnetic field angle according to the reported research. However, the effects of magnetic field angle to critical current of multi-stacked 2G HTS tapes have not been examined. In this paper, field coil which is a race-track coil wound by using an HTS tape with iron-core was fabricated to apply angle adjustable magnetic field to the 2G HTS tape samples. We measured critical current of single and multi-stacked two tapes that have different characteristic depending on various magnetic field angle and magnitude in liquid nitrogen environment. Furthermore, results of single and multi-stacked tapes were compared and analyzed.

The torque of SRM depends on phase current and the derivative of inductance. But the inductance of SRM is nonlinearly changed according to rotor position angle and phase current because of saturation in magnetic circuit. Therefore this has a concern in torque ripple and speed variation, and it is difficult to control the desired torque The torque of SRM depends on phase current and the derivative of inductance. But the inductance of SRM is nonlinearly changed according to rotor position angle and phase current because of saturation in magnetic circuit, and it is difficult to control the desired torque. This paper proposes an optimization control scheme by adjusting both the turn-on and turn-off angle according to high efficiency points which are simulated by GA-Neural Network, which is used to simulate the reasonable switching angle which is nonlinearly varied with rotor speed and load.

In phase controlled rectifier, it's been known that a fast response is achieved by predictive current control without any overshoot. The frequent sampling period is essential to improve the firing accuracy in conventional predict current control. However, improving the firing accuracy if difficult to reduce the period of sampling efficiently because current sampling and predictive current control is carried out in every period and the ON-OFF current control is performed by comparing two different one. To improve the firing accuracy at the predictive current control, the calculated firing angle is loaded into the high-accuracy hardware timer. So the calculation of exact crossing point between the predictive and actual current is the most important. In this paper, the flow chart for proposed firing angle calculation algorithm is obtained for the fastest current control performance in transient state. The performance of proposed algorithm is verified through simulations and experiments.

In economical points of view, AC loss of high temperature superconducting devices is considered as a serious problem that must be solved. Expecially, in case of HTS cables, HTS tapes are wound helically on the former to reduce AC loss. Critical characteristics of HTS tapes, however, are influenced by mechanical stress as well as electrical, temperature, and magnetical factors. The purpose of this study is to investigate the over current characteristics of HTS tapes given mechanical stress when they are wound on the former. We prepared HTS tapes with the pitch angle 20$^{\circ}$, length 25cm as well as tapes with pitch angle 0$^{\circ}$. When current of over 200A$\_$rms/ was applied, we found out that there are differences to the rate of resistance increase between the case of pitch angle 20$^{\circ}$and that of 0$^{\circ}$. The rate of resistance variation in HTS tapes of pitch angle 20$^{\circ}$increased more slowly than that of pitch angle 0$^{\circ}$. As a result, we concluded that if critical characteristics of HTS tapes are degraded by any external factor, when over current is applied, the current limiting characteristics in HTS tapes won't be able to be expected any more.
