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 brushless DC motors are normally built with rotor mounted PMs, which create the necessary back EMF voltage to produce a mechanical power. The shape of this back-EMF voltage is very important compared to the phase voltage supply one. Indeed, the electro ...
The Industrial Electronics Laboratory at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) in Lausanne has built a prototype of a revolutionary two-wheeled vehicle. Due to its configuration with two coaxial wheels, each of which is coupled to a DC Motor, th ...
The ever-growing popularity of the Internet is dramatically changing the landscape of the communications marketplace. The two separate worlds of the Internet and Telecommunications are converging. The respective advantages of the two environments are being ...
Power-electronic inverters are becoming popular for various industrial drives applications. In recent years also high-power and medium-voltage drive applications have been installed. However, the existing solutions suffer from some important drawbacks. Hyb ...

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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
