In this article, performance of 70 W, 350 rpm, axial-field and radial-field permanent magnet brushless dc motors is compared using computer aided design sCADd and finite element sFEd methods. The design variables like number of poles, slots per pole per phase, airgap length, airgap flux density, slot electric loading, stator flux density, and the permanent magnet material are changed one at a t...

The application of flux-observer-based sensorless control to permanent-magnet brushless ac motor drives is described. Current methods of speed estimation are assessed, both theoretically and experimentally, and an improved method, which combines the best features of methods in which speed is derived from the differential of rotor position and from the ratio of the electromotive force to excitat...

The faulty performance of permanent-magnet (PM) brushless dc motor drives is studied under one and simultaneous two open-switches faults conditions. This DC motor is supplied with a three phase two level six IGBT voltage source inverter. The three phases currents mean values of the DC motor are used as diagnostic indices. A knowledge algorithm is based to get information on which IGBT is in ope...

Permanent Magnet Brushless DC (PMBLDC) machines have found immerse applications in automobile, automation, consumer electronics, medical and industrial applications due to their high efficiency, long operating life ratio of torque delivered to the size and fast dynamic response. In a brushless motor, the rotor incorporates the magnets, and the stator contains the windings. Commutation is implem...

The space vector modulation (SVPWM) of Brushless DC motor (BLDC) is different from that of permanent magnet synchronous motor for its turn-off phase and trapezoidal back electromotive force. To overcome these problems, a SVPWM method is presented in this paper. The application of SVPWM to Brushless AC drives has been investigated extensively. This paper describes its application to BLDC drives ...

This paper presents the optimal operation of a photovoltaic pumping system. The operation of a permanent magnet brushless DC motor driving a centrifugal pump is investigated. The motor is controlled through a hysteresis current loop and an outer speed loop with a PI type controller. The proportional and integral gains are set to their optimal values. In order to optimise the overall system effi...
