Permanent magnet brushless motor is widely used in industrial drive applications due to high efficiency, high power ratio, and easy maintenance. Position and speed sensors required in this dolor increase the drive cost, and reduce the application range. Some papers present the sensorless speed control using DSP with a high processing performance. However, DSP increases the cost, and makes the implementation difficult. This study has performed the sensorless speed control with a microprocessor system which can be easily accessed.

This paper investigates the magnetic field behavior and its iron losses in the stator core using electrical steels. The analysis model is a brushless motor with the permanent magnet. The elliptical rotating and alternating flux distributions with non-sinusoidal waveform are obtained by Finite Element Method and then their harmonic components are extracted. Based on these results, the local iron losses in the stator core caused by the harmonic flux are calculated. And then this paper explains the relation between flux waveform and iron loss produced in each part of the stator core. Furthermore, the iron loss at no load condition is measured and compared with the analysis results.

This paper deals with the characteristic analysis of a brushless permanent magnet d.c. motor. The rotor has ring-type permanent magnet magnetized by a capacitor discharge magnetizer with multi-pole fixture. Torque and current characteristics are analyzed by the time-stepped finite element method. And then the results are compared with experimental values.

A sensorless control algorithm of brushless DC (BLDC) motors with a model current based on 120 degree conduction mode is proposed in this paper. The rotor speed and position can be estimated using the current model of BLDC motor, which is a modified version of the conventional current model of permanent magnet synchronous motor. The rotor speed and position can be obtained using the difference of the actual current and the model current. The position error caused by the parameter errors of the model current is compensated using a PI controller and the feedback loop of the real current. The validity of the proposed sensorless control algorithm is verified through simulation.

This paper presents the shape design for reducing cogging torque and characteristic analysis in Brushless DC (BLDC) motor. In this BLDC motor, ${\Delta}$(delta)-winding is applied, and in order to obtain the $60^{\circ}$ trapezoidal phase back-EMF waveform, permanent magnet shape design is carried out. And then, a method on specifying design parameters to effectively reduce cogging torque is developed. back-EMF, input voltage and input current which are analyzed by the Finite Element Method (FEM) are validated by experimental results. Also, efficiency calculations based on analysis and experimental results are performed and analyzed.

This paper studies particularly applicable method for sensorless Permanent Magnet Brushless DC(PMBLDC) Motor drive system. The waveform of the motor internal voltages (or back emf) contains a fundamental and higher order frequency harmonics. Therefore the third harmonics. component is extracted from the stator phase voltage. The resulting third harmonic signal keeps a constant phase relationship with the rotor flux for any motor speed and load condition. In addition, a simple starting method and a speed estimation approach are also proposed.

This paper presents an optimal design of a brushless DC motor considering an advanced $165^{\circ}$ 12 step control for a cost reduction. The advanced 12 step control that extends the conduction angle $150^{\circ}$ can improve the output of the motor. The optimal design considering the improved output power of the motor is proposed by reducing the volume of rotor, stator and permanent magnet using response surface method. The proposed design satisfied the performance requirements and efficiency improvement of the conventional motor and reduced the volume about 3.5%. The feasibility of the optimal design is proved by the electromagnetic field analysis using the finite element method.

This paper deals with the mechanical stress analysis due to electromagnetic forces and the optimal design of the link considering the stress. The link in Interior Permanent Magnet Brushless Motor(IPM) have influence on both mechanical and magnetic performance. The decrease of the link thickness serves to improve the torque, whereas this decreases the strength of link. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the appropriate link thickness considering electromagnetic forces and thermal expansion. The effects of the variation of link thickness on the mechanical stress and the electromagnetic performance are analyzed by the structural and electromagnetic Finite Element Method. In addition, the mechanical structure design of the link is performed to reinforce the mechanical strength against magnetic forces while preserving a food magnetic torque.

The model reference adaptive control(MRAC) algorithm is applied to the speed control of an inverter driven permanent magnet brushless do motor MRAC is compared to a standard PI controller. Applying this algorithm has also been proved by simulations that quick speed response without over-shoot could be obtained for the motor system with variable parameters. Simulation results show that the adaptive controller is superior to the PI controller.

This paper is proposed a selection method of the major design dimension which constrain the maximum acceleration capability and minimum power loss of surface-mounted brushless do motor with NdFeB permanent magnet for servo drives. Expressions are derived from the air-gap flux density and the linear current density around the stator periphery and design dimensions. The linear current density is limited by the need to avoid demagnetization. In this paper, We compute the optimum design dimensions of 2KW BLDC motor with maximum acceleration capability and minimum power loss by using genetic algorithm.
