This paper presents a simple circuit topology of the auxiliary active quasi-resonant DC link snubber-assisted three phase voltage source soft-switching inverter for small scale PM motor drive applications. The pulse processing drive circuit interface and its soft-switching operation are discussed from an experimental point of view. Moreover, its conductive noise is measured and evaluated for electrical AC servo motor drive as compared with that of the conventional hard switching inverter.

Recently, it is increased to apply sensorless drive for BLDC (Brushless DC) motor to household electrical appliances, especially in the refrigerators and air conditioners, to reduce the cost and the acoustic noise by the operation and to make their functions more comfortable for human beings. In this paper, low-cost sensorless drive for BLDE motor is implemented by random PWM (Pulse Width Modulation). The experimental results show that the electromagnetic noise was reduced and the sound quality was improved by BLDC motor sensorless random PWM Control.

This paper presents a method to reduce the commutation torque ripple in a position sensorless brushless DC motor drive. To compensate the commutation torque ripple considerably, the duration of commutation must be known. The proposed method measures the duration of commutation from the terminal voltage of the motor, calculates a PWM duty ratio using the measured commutation interval to suppress the commutation torque ripple, and applies it to the calculated PWM duty ratio only during the next commutation. Experimental results show that pulsating currents and vibrations are considerably reduced when the proposed method is applied to a position sensorless brushless DC motor drive for the air-conditioner compressor.

Recently, the BLDC(Brushless DC) motor has been increasingly applied to home appliance and the study of BLDC motor drive is extensively processing, so it is necessary to investigate the characteristic of the BLDC motor drive. In this paper, we proposed the modeling of interior permanent - magnet BLDC motor drive. The state model of motor and the model of inverter using pulse width modulation are included. The modeling is verified by the experimental results.

This paper reports an investigation of pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques for two-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motors fed by a two-phase eight-switch inverter in a fan application. The three-phase BLDC motor is widely applied in industry; however, a lower-cost two-phase BLDC motor and drive circuit has been greatly in demand in recent years. In this paper, we introduce a mathematical model of the two-phase BLDC motor with sinusoidal back electromotive forces (EMFs) based on traditional three-phase BLDC motors. To simplify the drive algorithm and speed up its application, we analyze the principle of block commutation for a two-phase BLDC motor drive in the 180-electrical-degree conduction mode, and we further propose five PWM schemes to improve the commutation performance of the two-phase BLDC drive. The effectiveness of the proposed PWM methods is verified through experiments.

This paper proposes a capacitance estimation method of the dc-link capacitor for brushless DC motor (BLDCM) drive systems. In order to estimate the dc-link capacitance, the BLDCM is operated in quadrant-II or -IV among four-quadrant operation. Quadrant-II and -IV are called reverse braking and forward braking, respectively. During the braking operation of the BLDCM, the capacitor is charged by the phase current and then the voltage is increased during the braking operation time. The capacitor current and voltage can be obtained by using the phase current sensor of BLDCM and the dc-link voltage sensor. The capacitance and be easily obtained by the voltage equation of the capacitor. The proposed method guarantees the reliable and simple calculation of the dc-link capacitance without additional hardware system except several the sensors already installed for the motor control system. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through both the simulation and experimental results.

Generally, brushless DC motor(BLDCM) driving system uses hall sensors or encoders as the mechanical position or speed sensors. It is necessary to achieve the information's of rotor position for driving trapezoidal type brushless DC motor without any position sensor. This paper proposes a sensorless driving system with absolute rotor position detecting circuit which acquires both commutating phase and commutating time by analyzing motor phase voltages. Proposed system is applied to a 10k[W] rating motor which actually used in Hybrid Electric Vehicles. The experimental results will show the validity of the proposed system and the practical use of proposed sensorless drive.

This paper presents a controller implementation using model based controller design programs-System Identification Toolkit, Control Design Toolkit, Simulation module. This method is easier and simpler than conventional controller design method. To implement speed control system of DC motor, a CompactRIO, Real-Time(RT) cntroller provided by NI(National Instruments), is used as hardware equipment. Firstly transfer function of DC motor drive system, which was a control target plant, can be acquired through System Identification Toolkit by using test input signal applied to motor and output signal from motor. And designing of pole-zero compensator satisfying desired control response performance through Control Design Toolkit, designed speed control response can be tested through Simulation Module. Finally LabVIEW program is converted to real-time program and downloaded to CompactRIO real-time controller Through experimental results to real DC motor drive system, designed speed control response is compared to simulation results.
