Slotless windings are commonly used in small size high-speed electrical brushless DC machines. Unlike slotted windings, forced to follow slots direction, slotless windings can be freely arranged in the airgap. This represents several opportunities for opti ...
Many applications are limited by the performance of the motors that power them. In the small power range, slotless BLDC motors are commonly used due to their intrinsic high power density and smooth torque characteristic. However, recent work has shown that ...
Energy saving becomes more and more important. Therefore different improvements have been made in motor design, electronic devices and software in order to increase the overall efficiency of electronic motor drives. Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMS ...
In the domain of electronic devices and especially desktop peripherals, there is an industrial trend which consists in removing the cables that pollute our domestic and professional environments. In this sense, wireless communication protocols are already ...
EPS systems are more and more used in automotive application to save energy and create a more flexible tool for driver. A BLAC motor has been designed in the Prof. Shen's Laboratory and has a very sinusoidal waveform. In order to avoid the detent torque, a ...
A multiport medium voltage (MV) isolated DC-DC converter with integrated energy storage, suited for connection of low voltage (LV) and medium voltage (MV) DC grids is presented. A multi-stage structure, adapted for MV ratings, is composed of multiple ident ...
This paper presents a multi-port isolated DC-DC converter for DC applications. A three-port structure is presented, characterized with full bidirectional power flow and simple control. Galvanic isolation is achieved by means of a multi-winding medium frequ ...
his paper presents a multiport galvanically isolated LLC resonant DC-DC converter suitable for DC applications. A three-port structure is analyzed, with full bidirectional power flow capabilities, simple control and behavior similar to that expected from a ...
Stepper motors are a very convenient and economical solution for accurate positioning applications where long lifetime and low wear are required. Their particularly simple open-loop operation reduces the number of control components to a minimum. However, ...
This paper introduces a promising technique, called the first-pulse technique, for detecting the rotor position of a brushless DC motor at standstill. The technique is based on the B-H hysteresis characteristics of the stator iron. Depending on the rotor p ...
