I . Introduction Multi-phase machines offer several key features, such as high reliability, high torque density, and high efficiency . Therefore, they are obtained wide applications from automotive to aerospace [1][2] . One of them is the five-phase PM machine, where the torque density can be improved by injecting third harmonic current . However, in order to maintain high torque density and re...

Brushless direct current motors (BLDC) are prominent due to their high efficiency and less maintenance. However, BLDC motor applications limited the requirement of a complex controller, existence torque ripple, cost.

Switched Reluctance (SR) motors have a wide range of applications in industries, mainly due to the special properties of this motor. But, because of its dynamical nonlinearities, its control is complex. This paper presents an adaptive intelligent control based on the Lyapunov stability theory to control the speed of SR motors with good accuracies and performances. The proposed controller compos...

Induction motor drives using field oriented control (FOC) for torque and flux control have been used in high performance industrial applications instead of dc motors for many years. In FOC, torque and flux of an induction motor can be controlled independently by decoupling the stator current into its orthogonal components. The FOC method has achieved a quick torque response. But in order to ach...

This paper presents the modelling and control of switched reluctance motor (SRM) for hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) application. Nonlinear characteristics of SRM are obtained using finite element analysis. The fuzzy logic controller is used to minimize the torque ripple which improves the average torque capability of SRM. Obtained results from the drive using fuzzy logic controller are compared ...

A new torque control strategy for brushless motors is presented, which results in minimum torque ripple and copper losses. The motor model assumes linear magnetics, but contains a current limit which can delimit the onset of magnetic saturation, or be the motor amplifier current limit, whichever is reached first. The control problem is formulated and solved as a quadratic programming problem wi...

In this paper, we present a mathematical model for determining the optimal radius of the iron pole shape in spoke-type permanent-magnet (PM) machines (STPMM) in order to minimize the pulsating torque components. The proposed method is based on the formal resolution of the Laplace’s and Poisson’s equations in a Cartesian pseudo-coordinate system with respect to the relative permeability effect o...

This paper examines the proper application of three phase induction motors when supplied by unbalanced voltage. To analyze the effects of unbalanced voltage on torque of the induction motors, it has defined 32 unbalanced points, with 8 different types of voltage unbalance, and four levels of Voltage Unbalanced Factor, measured with Symmetrical Components method. In each unbalanced point the Tor...

The aim of this paper is to optimize the design of multiple flux barriers Synchronous reluctance motor in order to smooth the torque profile without rotor skewing. A new strategy is proposed by modelling the particular optimal design problem as mixed integer constrained minimization of a suitable objective function.
