With increase of servo motor In industrial and home application, a number of papers related to PMSM control have been researched. Among them, sensorless control schemes are especially concerned in the view point of its cost reduction. In the conventional approach, a rotor position is generally estimated by the integration of estimated rotor speed. In this method, because of their tight relationship between the amplitude of back-emf and rotor position. it is somewhat difficult to find two parameters at the same time. To solve this problem, a novel sensorless control scheme is proposed. It utilizes a back-emf normalization, so it does not requires the variables related with the amplitude of back-emf. The validity of the proposed control scheme was verified through experimental results.

In this paper, a novel sensorless brushless DC (BLDC) motor drive method using the fuzzy back-EMF observer is proposed to improve the performance of conventional sensorless drive methods. Most existing back-EMF sensing methods need additional circuit and have a low performance intransient state or low speed range. Therefore, this paper proposes the fuzzy back-EMF observer and an algorithm using this observer to estimate a speed and a position of the rotor. The robustness of the proposed algorithm is proved through the simulation compared with other sensorless drive methods.

In this paper, a new 'impedance sensing' method is described. This method overcomes the shortcomings of the impedance sensing method. According to the new method, sensing voltage pulse is applied to the idle phase in the minimum inductance region and the beginning of the increasing inductance region to detect rotor position. The negative torque produced by the sensing voltage pulse can be neglected in the minimum inductance region and the efficiency of SRM is improved. In the minimum inductance region the back electromotive force (EMF) can be neglected. And in the increasing inductance region the EMF opposes the rise of current in the phase, so the position estimation scheme is reliable. Therefore the new 'impedance sensing' method is sufficiently precise even under the high back EMF effect. The adjustment of turn-on angle and turn-off angle is also easy to be realized. The technique is very useful in applications where cost or size is primary concerns, such as electric bicycle drives. Experimental results are presented to verify the proposed method.

An electromagnetic flowmeter(EMF) was developed and its characteristics were compared with a commercial EMF. The measuring tube of the EMF was basically designed as 100 m diameter. A signal processing circuit was also developed for generating the magnetic field and converting the flow signal to flowrate and flow quantity. To obtain a more stable and reliable flow signal, the double magnetizing frequency was adopted for magnetizing the coil of the EMF For the characterization of EU, the uncertainty of calibrator was estimated within ${\pm}0.5{\%}$, the method of estimation was in accordance with the ISO 17025 recommendation. It was found that the flow signals between the electrodes were about ${\pm}60\;-\;{\pm}300{\mu}V$, which were sufficient for the discrimination of the flowmeter and protecting the noise. The test result against the calibrator, showed the good linearity in the range of $3 m^{3}/h\;and\;70m^{3}/h$. A commercialized design of the EMF will be technically more competitive in domestic and foreign market.

The position of stator is essential when a trapezoidal BLDC motor is drived. In this paper we proposed a novel sensorless drive system for the trapezoidal BLDC motor without hall sensors or encoders. The resistor Y-connecting method is used to obtain Back-emf of a trapezoidal BLDC motor. Especially, by using the new Back-emf filter circuit proposed in this paper the sensorless characteristic in low speed is improved. The prototype proposed system applied for a 100[W] rating BLDC motor is made and the propriety of the Back-EMF filter circuit is also verified.

This paper presents the method of reducing torque ripple of Blushless Direct Current(BLDC) motor. In the BLDC motor, the torque is decided by the back-EMF and current waveform. If the back-EMF is constant, the torque ripple depends on the current ripple during commutation period. The current in commutation period is acquired by circuit analysis and then the torque ripple simply can be reduced by varying input voltage to flow the current continuously. And suggested method is confirmed by dynamic with parameters of 500W BLDC motor.

The torque characteristics of a surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM) are analyzed in this study. The harmonics of the back electromotive force (EMF) and cogging torque are analyzed by the finite element method to study their effects on the torque ripple. Although low cogging torque can be achieved by varying geometric parameters such as the permanent magnet (PM) offset and notch depth on the stator teeth, the torque ripple is increased in some cases. The analysis results show that the ripple of the generated torque is determined by not only the amplitudes but also the phases of harmonics for the back EMF and cogging torque.

The purpose of this paper is characteristic analysis of multi-disk axial-gap pm motor for turbo compressor. The axial-gap permanent magnet motor has shown a growing interest in high-speed application for its high-efficiency, compact size and low vibration characteristics due to core-less structure. To achieve high-power, the axial-gap PM motor has multi-disk structure of stator and rotor disk. Because of its complicated magnetic flux path, it is not easy to calculate a dynamic characteristics using finite element analysis. In this paper, the simplified 2-D unfolded model to predict EMF characteristic is presented. To verify thesuggested 2-D unfolded model analysis of back-EMF characteristic was calculated and compared 3-D finite element. Finally the proposed method is verified by experimental results and shows good agreement with test results.
