This paper presents a new current control method to reduce the torque ripple due to phase commutation, when the unipolar PWM method is applied for the phase current control of brushless DC motor. Phase commutation bring about an instantaneous change in the average voltage of conducting phase so that current undulates, and this undulating current generates torque ripple. In this paper, we analyze average voltage variations of conducting phase in commutation period with PWM pattern and design current controller to compensate average variations. In addition, we prove the validity of proposed method by experimental results.

This paper proposes a two-phase RCD-PWM scheme which is much better than a three-phase RCD-PWM scheme from the standpoint of the broadening and linearizing effect of the power spectrum. To implement the proposed scheme and conventional scheme, the experiment based on the SAB-Cl67 micro-controller was executed. Based on the space vector modulation technique, the duty ratio of the pulses is calculated using the SAB-Cl67 and each of PWM pulses is located randomly in each switching interval. The power spectrum of the output voltage, output current, the d.c link current and the acoustic noise radiated from inverter drives are experimentally investigated. 1'hen, the performance of the proposed scheme was compared and discussed with the conventional scheme.

From the viewpoint of model-based current control, it is indispensable to use the accurate system parameters for the high control performance. This paper adopts the Least-Squares algorithm as a parameter estimation scheme because it has the fast convergence rate and the low sensitivity to noises. In case of the intelligent current controller with delay compensator, the simulation results show that the adopted estimation scheme can be successfully applied to PWM converters and also show the improved control performance in the estimated parameters.

Two-stage power factor correction (PFC) converter with a single PWM controller for universal input voltage (90-264V) is proposed. It consists of a power factor pre-regulator cascaded by a DC/DC converter as in a conventional two-stage approach. However, a single PWM controller is used as in a single-stage, single-switch PFC approach. The switch in the PFC part is synchronized with the switch in the DC/DC converter with a fixed switching frequency. Employing an adaptive delay scheme the switch in the PFC part is controlled to limit the energy storage capacitor voltage within a designed range for the optimum efficiency, and to reduce input current harmonic distortion. The experimental results obtained on a 200W (5V/40A) prototype PFC converter are given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control method.

For revolving and elevating a turret of a tank, we substitute an existing oil pressure system with an electric system using a motor and applied the vector control method to this system. A switching method of an inverter for providing desired sinusoidal current to each phase of a motor, we adopted min-max pulse width modulation method which takes less computation time, rather than space vector pulse width modulation method. We designed a digital filter and applied it to the control system. Developed current controller is verified it's performance through a current control test, speed control test, frequency response and tracking a profile of speed test.

This paper is on speed control of induction motor using space vector PWM. Indirect vector control which controls independantly flux and torque current component in order to drive induction motor, is applied for driving motor. Voltage sourced inverter with space vector PWM is used to generate the practically perfect sinusoidal flux density in induction motor. The appropriateness of speed control is proven by appling IP(Integral-proportional) controller which is known to have a good speed response and still to have less overshoot than the now used PI(Proportional-Integral) controller.

In this paper, an auto-tuning method for fuzzy controller based on the neural network is presented. The backpropagated error of neural emulator offers the path which reforms the fuzzy controller's membership functions and fuzzy rule, and used for speed control of induction motor. For the torque control method, an indirect vector control scheme with slip calculation is used because of its stable characteristics regardless of speed. Motor input current is regulated by a current controlled voltage source PWM inverter using space voltage vector technique. Also, the scheme of current control fuzzy controller is synchronous reference frame with decoupling term. DSP(TMS320C31) is used to achieve the high speed calculation of the space voltage vector PWM and to build the self-learning fuzz. control algorithm. An IPM is used to simplify hardware design.

An LED converter used to operate an LED with high efficiency and long lifespan, activates an LED by keeping voltage and current constant. In spite of voltage drop by LED's overheating and over-voltage by damage of a power line and by circuit problem, most existing LED converters supply unchanged constant voltage and current to the LED. Eventually, LED is out of order because of over-voltage or over-current. To avoid the breakdown of an LED by over-voltage and over-current, we propose a new scheme which deactivate the PWM circuit in the event of over-current generating. The PWM circuit operates below the pre-determined level of current. While the over-voltage is generated in PWM circuit, the feedback circuit makes the PWM circuit stopped and therefore prevents LED from being damaged by over-voltage and over-current.

In this paper, a voltage type dual PWM converter which achives the bidirectional power flow between a AC supply and a DC bus voltage is described. In PWM modulator, there exist a time difference between the sampling time and carrier wave, it achieves stable modulation even the disturbance in the synchronous AC source voltage. And this paper proposes the compensation method and the control method related a disturbance of synchronous signal using the low pass filter and phase shifter for the stable modulation. As a result the voltage type dual PWM converter makes the imput current wave as sinusoid, and performs the high power factor driving.

Deadbeat controlled PWM Inverter is realized. This PWM inverter performs the instantaneous control method which is based on the real-time digital feedback control and the microprocessor-based deadbeat control. For the deadbeat current controller, the system's order becomes a high order and increases computation delay time. Therefore, The delay tine produces current ripple. To minimize the current ripple, a new method based on deadbeat control theory for current regulation is proposed. It is constructed by a reduced-order state observer which predicts the output current in next sampling instant.
