Precise positioning over a long stroke is required in various fields. Important advances in the field of electromagnetic motors, piezoelectric actuators and bearing technology allow nanometric and sub-arc-second resolution for linear or rotary actuators, r ...
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 ...
The aim of the present paper is to extend the well-known complex torque coefficient method usually used for synchronous machine rotor oscillations, to a slip energy recovery induction motor drive. To illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed extension, ...
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 ...
Developing a research autonomous plane for flying in a laboratory space is a challenge that forces one to understand the specific aerodynamic, power and construction constraints. In order to obtain a very slow flight while maintaining a high maneuverabilit ...
The Industrial Electronics Laboratory at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne, Switzerland, 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 moto ...
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 ...
We will present a method allowing to evaluate the mechanical performances (torque, speed, mechanical power, dissipated losses in the surface of contact between stator and rotor) of the travelling wave ultrasonic motors. The visualization of the motor chara ...
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 ...
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 ...
