In this paper, a new excitation scheme is developed to increase the output torque of the sensorless BLDC(Brushless DC) motor(BLDCM), which drives fins to control the flight attitude of a guided artillery munition. The proposed scheme is based on a 12-step excitation strategy combining two-phase and three-phase excitations. The proposed 12-step excitation scheme can produce more torque than a typical 6-step scheme for the start-up and synchronous operation in the sensorless BLDCM drive. The simulation and experimental results on the sensorless BLDCM drive system to control the fin were verified the validity of the proposed scheme.

It is important to estimate the rotor speed for field weakening operation in the speed sensorless stator flux oriented (SFO) induction motor drive. Several methods have been reported to estimate exactly the speed in the speed sensorless system. In this paper, we apply two observer-based methods, the Luenberger observer (LO) and the Kalman filter (KF), to SFO induction motor drive in order to achieve a speed sensorless operation in field weakening region. Two control methods are reviewed and discussed. The operation characteristics of these methods in the field weakening region is compared by simulation and experiment.

A sensorless speed control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM) which utilizes MRAS based scheme to estimate rotor speed and position is presented. Considering an error between real and estimated rotor position values, a state equation of PMSM in the synchronous d-q reference frame is represented. A state equation of model system which uses estimated speed and nominal parameter values is expressed. To minimize the errors between the derivatives of d-q axis currents of real and model system, MRAS based adaptation mechanisms for the estimation of rotor speed and position are derived. On the other hand, for the acceleration stage of motor just before the sensorless operation, an acceleration scheme using only d-axis current control is proposed. To show the validity of the proposed scheme, experimental works are carried out and evaluated. During acceleration stage, the acceleration scheme using only d-axis current command shows good acceleration performance and controlled current level. For the sensorless operation, at low speed (5% of rated speed), a good performance is observed.

PMSMS (permanent magnet synchronous motors) are widely used in industrial applications and home appliances because of their high torque to inertia ratio, superior power density, and high efficiency. For high performance control, accurate informations about the rotor position is essential. Sensorless algorithms have lately been studied extensively due to the high cost of position sensors and their low reliability in harsh environments. A novel position sensorless speed control for PMSMs uses indirect flux estimation and is presented in this paper. Rotor position and angular velocity are estimated by the proposed indirect flux estimation. Linkage flux and magnetic field flux are calculated by the voltage equations and the measured phase current without any integration. Instead of linkage flux calculation with integral operation, indirect flux and differential magnetic field are used for the estimation of rotor position. A proper rejection technique fur current noise effect in the calculation of differential linkage flux is introduced. The proposed indirect flux detecting method is free from the integral rounding error and linkage flux drift problem, because differential linkage flux can be calculated without any integral operation. Furthermore, electrical parameters of the PMSM can be measured by the proposed TCM (time compression method) for soft starting and precise estimation of rotor position. The position estimator uses accurate electrical parameters that are obtained from the proposed TCM at starting strategy. In the operating region, a proper compensation method fur temperature effect can compensate fir the estimation error from the variation of electrical parameters. The proposed novel position sensorless speed control scheme is verified by the experimental results.

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.

영구자석 동기 전동기는 출력 밀도가 높고 효율이 높다는 장점 때문에 적용 범위가 넓어지고 있다. 자동차나 로봇과 같은 고전력밀도, 고성능 전동기 구동 시스템뿐만 아니라 세탁기, 에어컨, 냉장고와 같은 비용 절감이 매우 중요한 시스템에도 영구자석 동기 전동기가 사용되고 있다. 비용 절감을 위해 회전자 위치 센서를 제거하는 센서리스 제어가 필요한데, 일반적으로 센서리스 제어는 전동기를 기동하는 조건에서는 사용하기 어렵다. 따라서 초기 기동에서는 전류 벡터를 임의의 속도로 회전시키는 I-F 속도 제어를 사용하고, 특정 속도 이상이 되면 센서리스 속도 제어로 절환해야 한다. I-F 속도 제어와 센서리스 속도 제어에서의 속도 제어 성능도 중요하지만 두 제어 기법이 절환되는 과도 상태에서도 속도 제어 성능을 유지해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 영구자석 동기 전동기의 센서리스 속도 제어를 위해 I-F 속도 제어에서 센서리스 속도 제어로의 절환 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법의 성능을 확인하기 위해 세탁기 구동 시스템에서 실험을 수행하였다.

The inverter fed BLDC(Brushless DC) motor has been increasingly applied to industry and home appliances due to the advance of power electronics and permanent magnet technology, and its high efficiency and good acoustic noise characteristics. The BLDC motor and drives, however, require the rotor position sensors that may cause some problems such as the high cost and space. In this paper, sensorless algorithm for an interior permanent magnet BLDC motor is proposed. The maximum torque per ampere operation with advance angle considering load torque and speed was simulated and verified through the experiment.

본 논문은 집중권 브러시리스 직류 전동기로 제조된 에어컨 압축기의 효율을 개선할 수 있는 새로운 운전 방법을 제안한다. 일반적으로 에어컨 압축기는 신뢰도 높은 센서리스 운전을 하여야 하기 때문에 복잡한 연산이 필요한 3상 3여자 운전을 적용하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 120도 통전 방법과 동일한 센서리스 알고리즘과 하드웨어를 사용하되 3상 2여자 방식의 제어성능상의 단점을 개선하고 운전 성능이 향상된 새로운 패턴의 통전 방법을 제안한다. 그리고 이를 실부하 에어컨에 적용하여 제안된 운전 방법의 유효성을 검증한다.

This paper presents the sensorless drive method for mono inverter dual parallel (MIDP) surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM) drive system. MIDP motor drive system is a technique that can reduce the cost of the multi motor driving system. To maximize this merit of the MIDP motor drive system, the sensorless technique is essential to eliminate the position sensors. This paper adopts an appropriate sensorless method for MIDP SPMSM drive system, which uses the reduced order observer and phase locked loop (PLL) to reduce the calculation burden. The I-F control method is implemented for start-up and low speed operation. The validity and performance of the proposed algorithm are shown via experiments with 600-W SPMSMs.
