In a permanent magnet brushless dc motor, cogging torque is produced by the magnetic attraction between the rotor mounted permanent magnets and the stator teeth. This always produces a pulsating torque ripple resulting in vibration and acoustic noise, which is detrimental to the motor performance. This paper deals with the analytical prediction of cogging torque and the various cogging torque minimization techniques as applied to a permanent magnet brushless dc motor.

This paper presents a method to reduce the commutation torque ripple in a position sensorless brushless DC motor drive. To compensate the commutation torque ripple considerably, the duration of commutation must be known. The proposed method measures the duration of commutation from the terminal voltage of the motor, calculates a PWM duty ratio using the measured commutation interval to suppress the commutation torque ripple, and applies it to the calculated PWM duty ratio only during the next commutation. Experimental results show that pulsating currents and vibrations are considerably reduced when the proposed method is applied to a position sensorless brushless DC motor drive for the air-conditioner compressor.

Torque ripple control of brushless DC motor has long been the main issue of the servo drive systems in which the speed fluctuation, vibration and acoustic noise need to be minimized. The vast majority of the methods for suppressing the torque ripple require the Fourier series analysis and either the iterative or least mean square minimization. In this paper, a novel approach based on the d-q-0 reference frame that achieves ripple-free torque control with maximum efficiency is presented. The proposed method optimizes the reference phase current waveforms including even the case of 3-phase unbalanced condition, and the motor winding currents are controlled to track the optimized current waveforms by the delta modulation technique. As a results, the proposed approach provides a simple and yet effectine means for obtaining the optimal motor excitation currents. The validity and applicability of the proposed control scheme are verified through simulations and experimental investigations.

A new instantaneous torque control is presented for a high performance control of a permanent magnet(PM) synchronous motor. In order to deal with the torque pulsating problem of a PM synchronous motor in a low speed region, new torque estimation and cotrol techniques are proposed. The linkage flux of a PM synchronous motor is estimated using a model reference adaptive system technique and the torque is instantaneously controlled by the proposed torque controller combining an integral variable structure control with a space vector PWM. The proposed control provides the advantage of reducing the torque pulsation caused by the non-sinusoidal flux distribution. This control strategy is applied to the high torque PM synchronous motor drive system for direct drive applications and implemented by using a software of the DSP TMS320C30. The simulations and experiments are carried out for this system and the results well demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed control.

In this study, a variable induction and exhaust system is applied to turbocharged diesel engine to improve the volumetric efficiency, especially, in a low and transient engine speed range where much of the pollutant matters are expelled out. The volumetric efficiency is known as one of the most important factor which affects significantly engine performance, fuel economy and further emission and noise level. As the torque increase with the engine speed up, the gas flow in an exhaust pipe become pulsating and then has an effect on boost up capacity of air charging into the cylinder and expelling capacity to atmosphere simultaneously. But at a low and idling speed, the pulsation effect was not so significant. Accordingly, resonator was employed to compensate their loss. The variable induction system consists of the secondary pipe, resonator, intercooler, and torque variance were examined with extended operating conditions. In the mean time, for interpretation and well understanding for the phenomena of wave action that arising during intake and exhaust process between turbocharger and variable intake system, the concept of the combined supercharging was introduced. Some of results are depicted which deal with a pressure history during valve events of induction process. Consequently, by the governing of these phase and amplitude of pulsating wave, it enables us to estimate and evaluate for the intake system performance and also, designing stage of the system layout.

In the single-phase switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive, the required DC source is generally supplied by the circuit consisting of bridge rectifier and large filter capacitor connected with DC line terminal. Due to the large capacity of the capacitor, the charged time of capacitor is very short from the AC source. Lead to the bridge rectifiers draws pulsating current from the AC source side, which results in reduction of power factor and low system efficiency. Therefore a novel single-phase SRM drive system is presented in this paper, which includes drive circuit realizing reduction of torque ripple and improvement of power factor with a novel switching topology. The proposed drive circuit consists of one switching part and diode, which can separate the output of AC/DC rectifier from the large capacitor and supply power to SRM alternately, in order to realize the torque ripple reduction and power factor improvement through the switching scheme. In addition, the validity of the proposed method is tested by some simulations and experiments.

This paper presents a control method, which reduces the pulsating torque and DC voltage problems of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind turbine system. To reduce the torque and power ripple, a current control scheme consisting of a proportional integral (PI) controller is presented in a positive synchronously rotating reference frame, which is capable of providing precise current control for a rotor-side converter with separated positive and negative components. The power theory can reduce the oscillation of the DC-link voltage in the grid-side converter. In this paper, the generator model is examined, and simulation results are obtained with a 3 kW DFIG-based wind turbine system to verify the proposed control strategy.

This paper describes advanced brushless DC motor drive without position sensor for home appliances with compressor to reduce the pulsating currents and vibration. The proposed method limits the motor currents during starting period and reduces commutation torque ripple during sensorless operating period. Experimental results show that the proposed method implemented in an inverter for a BLDC motor driven compressor considerably reduces not only the pulsating currents but also vibration of the home appliances.

This paper presents a novel reference variable speed control scheme of a BLDC motor for the high-speed blender machine according to the current limit. Because of a pulsating load variation of a high-speed blender machine, the actual speed is pulsated by the current limit in the high-speed region. The proposed control scheme uses a variable reference speed to reduce the speed variation from the current limit in the constant power region. The pulsated load is occurred at the material crushing, then the pulsated load is reduced after grinding. The reference speed is smoothly reduced at the pulsated load variation, then the enough torque can make a constant speed during crushing. When the pulsating load is reduced, the reference speed is automatically increased to the original speed value. The proposed control scheme is verified by experimental result by practical blender machine.

Recently the demand of motor for industrial household machinery is increasing. As Switching devices and control technology are progressing so the use of BLDC Motor is increasing But 3-Phase BLDC Motor generally used has pulsating torque and speed variation in commutation so the range of it's application is limited high speed application Especially to solve these problems it is necessary to increase phase to Motor so study of Poly-Phase BLDC Motor is progressing.
