A digitally controlled drive system was implemented in this study to control the speed and direction of a travelling-wave ultrasonic motor. The drive system, based on a 2-phase voltage-fed high-frequency serial-resonant inverter, uses the mechanical resonant frequency of an ultrasonic motor. A TMS320F243 digital signal processor was used to control an ultrasonic motor drive system. The speed co...

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a different type of converter circuit used to drive switched reluctance motors. It continues with detailed discussion on the resonant converter armed at minimizing or eliminating the transistors switching losses. Finally the drive has been tested on a disc-type reluctance motor for the perfomance and functionality.

The paper present’s a survey of the wheel vehicles drives with electric and hybrid drive system. For electric and hybrid vehicle applications, wheels motor and magnetic circuits cutting motor drives, represented a new attractive solution for their lightness and compactness. The wheels are directly driven by the electric motor, and the gears are not necessary anymore. An alternating solution of ...

In this study a novel servo speed control system for travelling-wave ultrasonic motor (TWUSM) has been presented. A drive system has been built based on two-phase high-frequency inverter using mechanical resonant frequency of the ultrasonic motor. The TMS320F243 digital signal processor (DSP) is adapted to ultrasonic motor drive system. The speed control of ultrasonic motor has been implemented...

NASA Glenn Research Center, in collaboration with the aerospace industry and academia, has begun the development of technology for a future hybrid-wing body electric airplane with a turboelectric distributed propulsion (TeDP) system. It is essential to design a subscale system to emulate the TeDP power grid, which would enable rapid analysis and demonstration of the proof-of-concept of the TeDP...

Major constraints while using motor drive system are efficiency and cost. Commutation in the conventional DC motors is carried out by commutator which is rotating part placed on the rotor and brushes. Due to these mechanical parts, conventional DC motor consist high amount of losses. Brushless DC (BLDC) Motors are very extensively used motors these days because of its advantages over convention...

The purpose of this paper is to present an efficient converter circuit used to drive switched reluctance motors. It uses the C-dump topology in which the trapped energy in the phase windings is returned to the supply capacitor to be used in the following strokes. In addition to the C-dump topology, it uses two extra feedbacks. One comes from a governor mounted on the shaft of motor which contro...
