Switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive has remarkable characteristics that make it attractive for high-speed applications. As the motor's speed increases the shape of the current waveform changes in such way that limits the production of motoring torque. At high speeds, it is possible for the phase current never reaches the desired value due to the self e.m.f. of the motor, therefore, the torque...

This paper presents a new controller for speed control problem of the BLDC motors. The nonlinear model of the motor is approximated by implementation of fuzzy rules. The uncertainties are considered in the fuzzy system. Using this model and linear matrix inequality (LMI) optimization, a robust controller for purpose of speed control of the motor has been designed and applied to it. The effectiv...

In this paper particle swarm optimization (PSO) is used for a design optimization of a linear permanent magnet synchronous motor (LPMSM) considering ultra low thrust force ripples, low magnet consumption, improved efficiency and thrust. The influence of PM material is discussed, too and the modular poles are proposed to achieve the best characteristic. PM dimensions and material, air gap and mo...

In this paper, a new design of permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM) for electromagnetic launcher system (EMLs) has been investigated in terms of the requisite amount of average launching thrust force and thrust force ripple minimization through finite element method. EMLs are a kind of technology used to develop thrust force and launch heavy loads with different applications includ...

Linear switched reluctance motor (LSRM) and its applications in different industries have been an interesting research topic for the past few years. LSRMs proved to be a suitable alternative variety of requiring linear motion. However, use is not that popular which instigated active interest evolution newer LSRM configurations. Enhancement propulsion force along with reduction ripples, weight, ...
