A variable reluctance machine (VRM) has been proven to be an outstanding candidate for electric vehicle (EV) applications. This paper introduces a new double-stator, 12/14/12-pole three-phase hybrid-excited modular variable reluctance machine (MVRM) for EV applications. In order to demonstrate the superiorities of the proposed structure, the static torque characteristics and dynamic performance...

Brushless dc (BLDC) motor drives are continually gaining popularity in motion control applications. Therefore, it is necessary to have a low cost, but effective BLDC motor speed/torque regulator. They are used in Residential and commercial appliances such as refrigerators and air conditioning systems with conventional motor drive technology. A Brushless DC (BLDC) drives are known for higher eff...

This paper presents a new control structure to reduce torque ripple in switched reluctance motor. Although SRM possesses many advantages in motor structure, it suers from large torque ripple that causes some problems such as vibration and acoustic noise. In this paper another control loop is added and torque ripple is de ned as an objective function. By using fuzzy sliding mode strategy, the DC...

The size of a control cabinet is naturally a major driver of cost in industrial system design. The more comprehensive the system functions, the more electronic components are required. The modular Bus Terminal system from Beckhoff offers plenty of scope for control cabinet optimization. This application example focuses on three separate aspects: increasing channel density per terminal with the ...

In this research, an innovative robot is presented that can move both on land and water thanks to a vibration-based locomotion mechanism. The consists of U-shaped beam made spring steel, two low-density feet allow it stand the surface without sinking, micro-DC motor with eccentric mass, which excites vibrations. exhibits stable terrestrial aquatic based synchronization between body vibrations c...

The mathematical model of the equivalent circuit of a brushless DC motor switches during the operation due to commutation. This issue causes a sudden ripple in the output torque, which is called commutation torque ripple. Brushless DC motor drives suffer from commutation torque ripple, affecting the performance of the motor in practical applications. A discrete-time switched controller is propo...

This paper deals with the design of Fractional Order Proportional Integral (FO-PI) controller for the speed control of DC motor. A mathematical model of DC motor control system is derived and based on this model fractional order PI controller is designed using stability boundary locus method to satisfy required gain margin (GM) and phase margin (PM) of the system. Servo and Regulatory tracking ...

This paper proposed to utilize the DC source from the solar PV. The DC/DC converter is the unidirectional power flow between the solar PV and load, while in existing its bidirectional. The proposed converter becomes compact using wide band gap devices which provide high efficiency and reduces heat generation of the circuit. PSO is used for the switching control for the converter. The converter ...
