Unknown Input Observer for a Novel Sensorless Drive of Brushless DC Motors


 ABSTRACT:

In this paper, a novel motor control method is proposed to improve the performance of sensorless drive of BLDC motors. In the terminal voltage sensing method, which is a great portion of sensorless control, a precise rotor position cannot be obtained when excessive input is applied to the drive during synchronous operation mode. Especially in the transient state, the response characteristic decreases. To cope with this problem, the unknown input (back-EMF) is modelled as the additional state of system in this paper. Taking into account the disturbance adopted by the back-EMF, the observer can be obtained by an equation of the augmented system. An algorithm to detect the back-EMF of a BLDC motor using the state observer is constructed. As a result, a novel sensorless drive of BLDC motors that can strictly estimate rotor position and speed is proposed.

CONCLUSION:
In this paper, the unknown input (back-EMF) is modeled as the additional state of system. Considering disturbance that is adopted by back-EMF, the observer can be obtained effectively using the equation of augmented system and estimating back-EMF. As a result, an effective algorithm to estimate rotor position and speed of motor using the state observer is proposed. Use of sensorless control method can remove problem on manufacture that is happened in circuit to detect rotor position and speed. Moreover the production of inexpensive motor controller may be possible because the additional circuit such as encoder is not necessity. In cases using the proposed sensorless control method, the start-up performance has an almost analogous transient state characteristic after forced alignment, compared with the conventional method. This method also provides useful motor control because it is possible to analyze about transient state as well as steady state unlike various sensorless control methods that have been recently proposed. In addition, it can be easily applied in industry applications requiring the low-cost style drive of BLDC motor because actual realization is very simple.

Sensorless Brushless DC Motor Drive Based on the Zero-Crossing Detection of Back Electromotive Force (EMF) From the Line Voltage Difference


 ABSTRACT:

This paper describes a position sensorless operation of permanent magnet brushless direct current (BLDC) motor. The position sensorless BLDC drive proposed, in this paper, is based on detection of back electromotive force (back EMF) zero crossing from the terminal voltages. The proposed method relies on a difference of line voltages measured at the terminals of the motor. It is shown, in the paper, that this difference of line voltages provides an amplified version of an appropriate back EMF at its zero crossings. The commutation signals are obtained without the motor neutral voltage. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through simulation and experimental results.

CONCLUSION:
A simple technique to detect back EMF zero crossings for a BLDC motor using the line voltages is proposed. It is shown that the method provides an amplified version of the back EMF. Only three motor terminal voltages need to be measured thus eliminating the need for motor neutral voltage. Running the machine in sensorless mode is then proposed, in this paper, making use of the novel zero-crossing detection algorithm. While starting relies on triggering devices at the zero crossings detected using the proposed algorithm, continuous running is achieved by realizing the correct commutation instants 30delay from the zero crossings. The motor is found to start smoothly and run sensorless even with load and load transients. Simulation and experimental results are shown which validate the suitability of the proposed method.

The proposed system also compensates the harmonics content of nonlinear load. Finally, and according to the obtained results we can consider the proposed system to be efficient solution to the growing demand of power at the present and in the future.

Reduction of Commutation Torque Ripple in a Brushless DC Motor Drive


ABSTRACT :
This paper describes the reduction in torque ripple due to phase commutation of brushless dc motors. With two-phase 1200 electrical conduction for the inverter connected to the conventional three-phase BLDC machine, the commutation torque ripple occurs at every 60 electrical degrees when a change over from one phase to another occurs. This effect increases the commutation time at higher speeds which increases the torque ripple. The torque ripple is reduced by changing the switching mode from 1200 to a dual switching mode with 1200 switching at lower speeds and 1800 electrical for the inverter at higher speeds.

CONCLUSION:
This paper has presented an analytical study of torque ripple comparison due to commutation of phase currents in a brushless dc motor for both 1200 and 1800 conduction modes. The results have been validated by simulation and experimental verification. In three-phase switching mode at high speeds the torque ripple and losses are minimized and therefore the efficiency of the machine is increased. But the same cannot be achieved at low speed in this mode. On the other hand, the 1200 situation is exactly opposite. Thus a composite switching scheme is proposed for satisfactory operation of the machine at all speeds. The effectiveness of the method is validated by suitable experiments.

Reducing Torque Ripple of Brushless DC Motor by Varying Input Voltage


ABSTRACT
This paper presents the method of reducing torque ripple of brushless direct current (BLDC) motor. In the BLDC motor, the torque ripple is decided by the back-electromotive force (EMF) and current waveform. If the back-EMF is constant in the conduction region of current, the torque ripple depends on the current ripple. The period of freewheeling region in the conduction region can be acquired by circuit analysis using the Laplace transformation and the torque ripple can be also reduced by varying input voltage to reduce the current ripple. The suggested method to reduce the torque ripple is confirmed by the dynamic simulation with the parameters of 500W BLDC motor.

CONCLUSION

This paper presents the method of reducing torque ripple of the BLDC motor by varying the input voltage after circuit analysis using the Laplace transformation. In the simulation confirmed by experiment, the torque ripple is reduced to 10%. The 500WBLDC motor used for simulation and experiment dose not have a trapezoidal back-EMF waveform but a sinusoidal back-EMF waveform. So the torque ripple is not reduced conspicuously, although the current ripple is reduced conspicuously, and produced torque ripple waveform is similar to the back-EMF waveform of 500 W BLDC motor.
