Simple power electronic drive circuit and fault tolerance of converter are specific advantages of SRM drives, but excessive torque ripple has limited its application. This paper presents a novel method of controlling the motor currents to minimize the torque ripple, using a neuro-fuzzy compensator. In the proposed control concept, a compensating signal is added to the output of a classical PI c...

This study proposes a novel frame anti-vibration controller for position sensorless PMSM drive application. This controller is called specific component reduction controller (SCRC). SCRC can function without an accelerometer and can achieve speed variable control. This study mainly comprises the following phases. First, the position sensorless control method will be provided. Second, the frame ...

The paper deals with modeling of synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) accounting for all phenomena responsible for torque ripple. Based on winding function approach, the proposed model consists in computing self and mutual inductances considering no sinusoidal distribution of stator windings, slotting effect and no sinusoidal reluctance variation caused by the rotor saliency. Then, optimal curr...

The major problems in hysteresis-based DTC are high torque ripple and variable switching frequency. In order to minimize the torque ripple, high sampling time and fast digital realization should be applied. The high sampling and fast digital realization time can be achieved by utilizing high-speed processor where the operation of the discrete hysteresis regulator is becoming similar to the oper...

Two different external-rotor-internal-stator TORUS type axial flux PM machines can be derived based on the direction of the flux. In the first type of the TORUS machine, magnet driven flux enters stator and travels circumferentially along the stator core while in the second type the flux enters the stator and travels axially along the machine axis of rotation. The major differences between the ...

Characteristics of toroidal rotation pro�les in tokamak plasmas are studied under the in�uence of fast-ion losses due to a toroidal �eld (TF) ripple by using a one-dimensional multi-�uid transport code, TASK/TX. When a neutral beam (NB) is injected into a plasma, a part of fast ions is lost due to the effect of the TF ripple. The radial current then �ows inward in the bulk plasma to keep quasi-...

To solve the problems of torque ripple and inconstant switch frequency of inverter in the conventional direct torque control (DTC), a novel DTC method using space vector modulation (SVM) is proposed based on input– output feedback linearization technique, where hysteresis controller is substituted by input–output feedback linearization and switch table is substituted by SVM. In order to preserv...

This paper presents a torque ripple reduction approach to direct torque and flux control (DTFC) of an induction motor using a sliding-mode control (SMC) technique. A distinctive feature of the approach is that, by appropriately parametrizing and implementing the sliding-mode controller, the discontinuous nature of the actuator may be directly incorporated to the design process. The present pape...

Abstrakt Hlavními požadavky kladenými na pohybové osy NC obráběcích strojů jsou vysoká přesnost polohování a vysoká dynamika pohybů. Základní předpoklad pro dosažení těchto protichůdných předpokladů jsou tuhá a lehká konstrukce mechanické struktury stroje. Těmito parametry je dána výše první antirezonanční frekvence, která omezuje nastavení zesílení kaskádně uspořádaných regulátorů rychlosti a ...
