Extended Kalman filtering techniques have been successfully used as sensorless control schemes on many different types of synchronous motors. One big disadvantage of the extended Kalman filtering technique is the large computational cost. Even with today's ...
The number of brushless DC (BLDC) motor applications has increased significantly, essentially due to reduced costs of semiconductors and permanent magnets, but also because of the emergence of new control strategies, such as closed-loop and sensorless cont ...
The present paper deals with the determination of voltage stresses on PWM inverter fed induction motors by considering first the cable modeling and the measurement of different parameters. Then, based on this model, voltage stresses on the motor windings a ...
In this article a high performance Extended Kalman filter algorithm is used to estimate rotor speed, rotor position and load torque in a Hybrid Stepper Motor (HSM). Together with a PI speed controller, the Kalman filter forms a very robust sensorless close ...
In some applications, it is interesting to know the position of a BLDC Motor at standstill. This paper propose one solution using the saturation property of the motor. Principle, simulation and measures are presented. The results of industrial applications ...
When we achiev a good performance of the field-oriented vector control system, it is necessary to detect the speed and flux of the motor. Usually it is hard to implemment these sensors. Then the sensor-less contro-system techniques using the observer inste ...
NOVELTY - After disconnection from normal control (3) a pulse generator (4) sends positive and negative pulses to a motor winding R. The response currents are measured (5) from voltages (Vpr,Vnr) which appear after a fixed time on a neutral resistor (2) an ...
NOVELTY - For control mono-phase or multiphase machines in motor or generating mode with or without pulse width modulation. USE - Control of electrical rotating machines. ADVANTAGE - Can be used for control of single phase and three phase machines. DETAILE ...
In many applications, industry has tried to develop sinusoidal supply for brushless DC (BLDC) motors. This paper describes a method that still keeps a simple 2 phases-on sensorless method and achieves sinusoidal supply, which is needed to avoid speed oscil ...
Usually, each phase of the direct reluctance motor is fed separately by its own inverter producing a squarewave phase current depending on the rotor position. In the present work, a star-connection of the three stator phases is used and the direct reluctan ...
