Position sensorless and adaptive speed design for controlling brushless DC motor drives

Abstract

This paper proposes a method for direct torque control of Brushless DC (BLDC) motors. Evaluating the trapezium of back-EMF is needed, and is done via a sliding mode observer employing just one measurement of stator current. The effect of the proposed estimation algorithm is reducing the impact of switching noise and consequently eliminating the required filter. Furthermore, to overcome the uncertainties related to BLDC motors, Recursive Least Square (RLS) is regarded as a real-time estimator of inertia and viscous damping coefficients of the BLDC motor. By substituting the estimated load torque in mechanical dynamic equations, the rotor speed can be calculated. Also, to increase the robustness and decrease the rise time of the system, Modified Model Reference Adaptive System (MMRAS) is applied in order to design a new speed controller. Simulation results confirm the validity of this recommended method. Index Terms-Brushless DC Motor, Direct Torque Control, Model Reference Adaptive System, Sliding Mode Observer

Electromagnetic simulation of an external rotor PM hub motor power device for distributed driving electric vehicle

“…In PM brushless direct current motor, the viscous damping coefficient D reflects the hardness of mechanical properties of motor, the response speed of system, the electromagnetic efficiency and the efficiency of motor. 24 When ignore the motor winding inductance, the relationship between viscous damping coefficient D and main sizes of motor can be expressed as equation (12).…”

Design and Implementation of Improved Three Port Converter and B4-Inverter Fed Brushless Direct Current Motor Drive System for Industrial Applications

“…Researchers have worked on renewable energy fed BLDC drive with a DC-DC converter for reducing vibration and noise [18]. Several control schemes are prevalent for BLDC motor drives, such as FPGA based scheme [19][20], sensor-less control [21,22], etc. Compared with the traditional inverter, the Z-source inverter has an extra shoot through switching state .During the shootthrough state, the output voltage to the load terminals is zero, i.e., both the thyristors of the same leg conduct simultaneously.…”

Research and design of DTC system based on six-phase asymmetrical BLDCM

“…The BLDCM replaces the mechanical phase with electronic commutation, so it also has the advantage of low maintenance cost. After several decades of development, brushless dc motor and its control technology have become increasingly mature, including position sensorless control technology [1][2], neural network control, and active disturbance rejection control [3][4] and many other control methods for suppressing communication torque ripple. So its applications are more and more extensive.…”
