Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) have higher torque and superior output power per volume than other types of AC motors. They are commonly used for applications that require a large output power and a wide range of speed. For precise control of PMSMs, knowing the accurate position of the rotor is essential, and normally position sensors such as a resolver or an encoder are employed. On the other hand, the position sensors make the driving system expensive and unstable if the attached sensor malfunctions. Therefore, sensorless algorithms are widely researched nowadays, to reduce the cost and cope with sensor failure. This paper proposes a sensorless algorithm that can be applied to a wide range of speed. The proposed method features a robust operation at low-speed as well as high-speed ranges by employing a gain adjustment scheme and intermittent voltage pulse injection method. In the proposed scheme the position estimation gain is tuned by a closed loop manner to have stable operation in tough driving environment. The proposed algorithm is fully verified by various experiments done with a 1 kW outer rotor-type PMSM.

The paper proposes a sensorless speed control strategy for a PMSM (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) based on a new SMO (Sliding Mode Observer), which substitutes a signum function with a sigmoid function. To apply robust sensorless control of PMSM against parameter fluctuations and disturbance, the high speed SMO is proposed, which estimates the rotor position and angular velocity from the back EMF. The low-pass filter and additional position compensation of the rotor are used to reduce the chattering problem commonly found in sliding mode observer with signum function, which becomes possible by applying the sigmoid function with the control of a switching function. Also the proposed sliding mode observer with the sigmoid function has better efficiency than the conventional sliding mode observer since it adjusts the observer gain by variable boundary layer and estimates the stator resistance. The stability of the proposed sliding mode observer is verified by the Lyapunov second method in determining the observer gain. The validity of the proposed high speed PMSM sensorless velocity control has been demonstrated by real experiments.

This paper proposes the improved transition scheme for a sensorless drive of an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM). In order to operate the IPMSM, the current controller can be used until 300 rpm for the initial operation. After that, the control method of IPMSM is changed to the speed controller for the sensorless control method. At that point, the rotor speed overshoot is generated due to the rapid change of the current reference for the speed controller. The proposed algorithm is able to reduce the overshoot of a rotor speed by compensating the estimated feedforward value to the speed controller. The feedforward value of the current reference is estimated by using a coordinate transformation and is approximated to the current reference after the transition of the control mode. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is verified by experiments using an IPMSM drive system.

This paper presents analysis of dynamic characteristics of a high-speed milling spindle with a built-in motor. The spindle system with a built-in motor can be used to simplify the structure of machine tools. to improve tire machining flexibility of machine. tools, and to perform the high speed machining. In this system the shaft is usually assumed as a rigid rotor. In the spindle system design, it is very important to improve modal characteristics, and modal analysis is performed in the first place. Therefore in this paper, on the assumption that supporting bearings of spindle was selected most suitable condition, analyzed dynamic characteristics of a high-speed spindle according to its position. Optimal design was applicated to select most suitable position of bearings. Considered tile mass and stiffness effects of the built-in motor's rotor are analyzed by numerical method. The result shows the natural frequency of 1st bending mode of spindle.

To control of the speed of induction Motor, a variable frequency power supply is needed. But this New type induction Motor Constitute stator and Rotor with New principle, its speed can be easily and widely Controlled by changing phase of the stator, and start at low current than rating without starter. Also, its no load current is same as shart current, and speed increase in proportion to current. On this points this induction Motor for speed control is different from induction Motor using Now.

This paper presents a developed outside rotor type induction motor for the fan. Nearly all of the induction motors consist of two parts, rotor and stator, and the position of rotor is generally inside of stator. However, the rotor of the developed induction motor is located outside of stator. It is believed that the outside rotor type induction motor is suitable for the fan due to its large inertia, that is, it is considered that the change of air flow rate resulting from input power or load fluctuation is reduced. In this paper, the two tests which are suitable to obtain the electrical parameters of the outside rotor type induction motor were described, then various parameters of outside rotor type induction motor were measured. These are the locked rotor test and no load test. By using these tests, it was possible to determine the parameters which are presented in the steady-state equivalent-circuit of the outside rotor type induction motor. Load test of induction motor was carried out using a dynamometer and the torque-speed curve was obtained. It is believed that the results of this paper can be used for the development of the outside rotor type induction motor.
