The aim of this paper is to develop a controller of multi-phase bipolar brushless DC (MPB BLDC) motors for an electric bicycle. A MPB BLDC motor has a Permanent magnet rotor in which the magnetic arrangement is radial to the shaft and integral to the rotor laminations. This technique concentrates flux, giving a higher flux density than a surface-mounted PM motor and increases reluctance torque. The stator of MPB BLBC motor has parallel winding, allowing multi-phase separate independent controllability. It gets much more high power than wye-connection at same low voltage. The conventional techniques of exited with modulation(EWM), bidirection control, and partial square wale control are Proposed with one H-bridge and two photo sensors per phase. The Proposed controller is satisfied for the limited speed control and designed for system stability Experimental results show the performance of the proposed controller of MPB BLDC motors for an electric bicycle.

전기철도나 지하철 분야에 사용되고 있는 고속 DC 차단기의 조작부는 solenoid actuator 방식이나 motor charging 방식을 주로 채택하고 있으나 구조가 복잡하고 부품수가 많아 부피가 크다는 단점이 있다. 이에 반해 magnetic actuator 방식은 동작시간과 제어가 용이하고 부품수가 감소하여 신뢰성과 반복성이 뛰어나다. 본 논문에서는 고속 DC 차단기 조작부를 영구자석 엑추에이터(PMA)방식으로 적용하고자 영구자석(PM)의 개략적 설계 및 이를 이용한 PMA 설계를 하였고, 유한요소 해석을 통해 이들의 동작특성을 해석하였다.

This paper deals with an improved core loss calculation under the load conditions, namely, no-load, AC-load and DC-load of multi-pole PM generator from curve fitting method using modified Steinmetz equation considered anomalous loss. For an accurate calculation, magnetic field analyses in stator core considering the time harmonics are performed. And using the nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA), we applied separated rotating and alternating magnetic field to core loss calculation. In order to verify the core loss results by proposed method, the experimental system for no-load core loss measurement has been implemented with DC motor, power analyzer and manufactured PM generator. And, the analysis results with rotational speed agree extremely well with those obtained by measurement.

A new modified trapezoidal modulating signal for a pulse width modulation (PWM) inverter suitable for a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive is proposed in this paper. A new modulating signal for the PMSM drive is determined by the characteristic torque ripple of the motor with various electro-motive force (EMF). The proposed modulating signal is able to decrease the torque ripple even if the motor has sinusoidal EMF or non-sinusoidal EMF. By using the proposed modulating signal, the system reduced the torque ripple as well as achieved the effective utilization of the DC supply voltage for the inverter. Many improvements are accomplished by the PWM strategy adapting the modified trapezoidal modulating signal without a change in hardware.

Generally, the usage motor in the vehicle is exposed to highly ambient temperature and large vibration according to repeatedly starting and stopping during very short time. So, in this paper, the rotor shape design was performed to improve demagnetization endurance by considering starting current of Brushless DC Motor (BLDCM) through Finite Element Method(FEM). As a result, the end of Permanent Magnet (PM) in the basic model was occurring a partial irreversible demagnetization by starting current. To solve this problem, the installing flux barrier was limited to flux line on the core. Accordingly, demagnetization endurance and operating characteristics were improved.

This paper investigates the permanent magnet (PM) overhang effect on the characteristics such as cogging torque and torque in brushless DC motor (BLDCM). The overhang effect has been used to enlarge the performance of the radial flux density in BLDCM and balance the force in the axial direction for the reduction of the vibration. 3D equivalent magnetic circuit network method (3D EMCNM) is used for the accurate and efficient analysis. The characteristics of BLDCM are analyzed according to the variation of overhang length and the optimal length and ratio of overhang is determined.

This paper proposes a novel asymmetrical interior permanent magnet (IPM) brushless DC (BLDC) motor structure, which utilizes half-type permanent magnet (PM) configuration and has asymmetrical side gaps (slot next to the PMs) for reducing torque ripples. This structure uses 24% less volume of PMs than conventional IPM BLDC motor with a full set of magnets. The characteristics of the proposed motor are compared with three other half-type IPM BLDC motors through finite elements method (FEM) analysis, and the usefulness of the proposed motor was verified through experimental evaluation on prototypes of the conventional motor and proposed motor under various torque load conditions. This research obtained a high-performance IPM BLDC motor while decreasing manufacturing cost at the same time.

BLDC 전동기의 코깅토크는 영구자석과 철심의 상호작용에 의해 발생하고 소음과 진동을 발생시키는 요인이다. 제조 과정에서 조립 공차로 인해 영구자석이 회전자 철심 면에 제대로 붙지 않을 경우 BLDC 전동기의 전자기적 구조가 변할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 조립 공차로 인해 자석이 회전자 표면과 분리되었을 때 코깅토크에 미치는 영향에 대해 연구했다. 핵심적인 설계 요소들인 회전자와 자석 간 분리, 분리를 가진 자석 수, 이웃한 자석들 간의 여러 배치형태를 고려했다. 코깅토크 해석을 위해 유한요소법을 사용하였고, 소음진동을 발생시키지 않는 조립 공차를 제안했다. 제안된 조립 공차로 제작된 BLDC 전동기의 코깅토크는 감소되었고 소음진동 또한 줄어들 것이라고 판단된다.

Acoustic noise and vibration of a BLDC motor is a coupled phenomenon between mechanical characteristics and electromagnetic origins through the motor air-gap. When a relative misalignment of rotor in the air-gap center exists on the assemblage, it is considered to influence the motor system characteristics. In this paper, the back electro motive force(BEMF) is analyzed by Finite Element Method(FEM) and verified by experiments for the SPM and IPM type motors. For magnetic field analysis, a FEM is used to account for the magnetic saturation. Using these results, the FEM is made to determine the appropriate electromagnetic field analysis in BLDC motors with rotor eccentricity ratio. A radial magnetic imbalance force of BLDC motor with rotor eccentricity is analyzed. Results demonstrate that the imbalance force is increased according to the degree of misalignment. An IPM motor, mostly chosen to realize high-speed operation, shows a worse effect on magnetic unbalanced forces and dynamic responses compared with SPM motor due to magnetic saturation when the rotor eccentricity exists.

This paper presents an algorithm for the permanent magnet shape optimization of a large scale BLDC(Brushless DC) motor to minimize the cogging torque. A response surface method (RSM) using multiquadric radial basis function is employed to interpolate the objective function in design parameter space. In order to get a reasonable response surface with relatively small number of sampling data points, additional sampling points are added on the basis of design sensitivity analysis computed by using FEM. The algorithm has 2 stages: the first stage is to determine the PM arc angle, and the 2nd stage is to optimize the magnet pole shape. The developed algorithm is applied to a 5MW BLDC motor to get a minimum cogging torque. After 3 iterations with 4 design parameters, the cogging torque is reduced to 13.2% of the initial one.
