This paper proposes a capacitance estimation method of the dc-link capacitor for brushless DC motor (BLDCM) drive systems. In order to estimate the dc-link capacitance, the BLDCM is operated in quadrant-II or -IV among four-quadrant operation. Quadrant-II and -IV are called reverse braking and forward braking, respectively. During the braking operation of the BLDCM, the capacitor is charged by ...

Using a top-down design methodology, two levels of hybrid electric vehicle power system are presented in the paper. At the highest abstraction level, a behavior modeling method is used to develop models for 3-phase AC/DC converter and brushless DC motor controller, which reduce the simulation time without compromise of accuracy. At the second level of design, six diodes along with delta-delta a...

This paper presents a power factor correction (PFC) based canonical switching cell (CSC) converter-fed brushless dc motor (BLDCM) drive for low-power household applications. The speed of BLDCM is controlled by varying the dc-bus voltage of voltage source inverter (VSI). The BLDCM is electronically commutated for reduced switching losses in VSI due to low-frequency switching. A front-end CSC con...

Cogging torque reduction of axial flux permanent magnet brushless dc (PMBLDC) motor is an important issue which demands attention of machine designers during design process.
