This paper discusses a commutation control method aimed at reducing the commutation torque ripple in sensorless drive of brushless direct current motors. These motors are generally used for low-cost applications because of relatively high efficiency and low manufacturing cost. On the other hand, they show a high torque ripple characteristic caused by nonideal commutation currents. This limits their application area, especially for low-voltage applications. In order to minimize torque ripple for

This paper is presented for evaluating the static and dynamic performance of slotless permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM) which is energized by partially excited primary current. Especially, the influence of the end-effect resulting from the moving magnet is investigated in detail. The starting and control characteristics related to the end-effect of PMLSM are studied.

In this paper, we introduce a novel method for establishing an efficiency map of interior permanent-magnet synchronous motors that are used for electric vehicle propulsion, by employing the finite-element method (FEM) and a neural network (NN) to reduce the analysis time. The electro-magnetic analysis of motors using the FEM, particularly iron loss analysis, is significantly time-consuming owing to the nonlinearity and the post-processing. Moreover, to obtain an efficiency map, a data map of the

In modern electric vehicles, electrical failure has become a critical problem that reduces the lifetime of traction motors. Moreover, traction motors with high-voltage and high-speed systems for a high power density have been aggravating the shaft voltage problems. This study identifies that direct-oil-cooling systems exacerbate this problem. To address this, an analytical method for calculating parasitic capacitance is proposed to determine the effects of cooling oil in a traction motor with a

Generally, the discontinuous armature permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PM-LSM) is composed by the stator block (accelerator, re-accelerator, and decelerator) and the free running section. However, the stationary discontinuous armature design involves the velocity variation of the mover during drive when the armature's non-installation part changes over to installation part as a result of the outlet edge of the armature. Therefore, we considered deforming the shape of the outlet edge at

Abstract This study introduces a constrained many‐objective optimization approach for the optimal design of 20 MW direct drive (DD) permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSGs). Designing a high‐performance, competitive DD‐PMSG requires considering the generator's performance as well as its weight and material cost. Therefore, we focus on four main characteristics as our design objectives: (1) specific power (power per weight), (2) power‐per‐cost, (3) efficiency, and (4) power factor. To achi

In this study, a current source analysis method considering the inverter switching frequency is proposed to improve the precision of loss analysis of a traction motor for a hybrid electric vehicle. Because the iron loss of the traction motor is sensitively influenced by input current fluctuations, the current source analysis using the actual current obtained from an inverter is the ideal method for accurate analysis. However, as the traction motor and inverter should be manufactured to obtain th

Although the permanent magnet linear synchronous motor is a motor useful for transportation systems thanks to its high speed, high acceleration and deceleration, the linear motor generally has armatures installed on the full length of the transport path. It results in the increase in material costs and manufacturing time. As a means to solve this problem a stationary discontinuous armature system is suggested. However, it involves the following two issues. The first issue is it is impossible to

The cogging torque calculation of interior permanent magnet synchronous motors (IPMSMs) has only been conducted by the finite element method (FEM) due to their complexities. However, FEM analysis requires considerable computational time during the design process. To deal with this problem, a new analytical method is proposed to calculate the cogging torque in IPMSMs. The radial and circumferential air-gap flux density for calculating the cogging torque utilizes the magnetic equivalent circuit mo

In addition, as a current controller, we considered the Current Regulator with PI controller using Simulink fo

In this study, a novel method for reducing the noise generated by single-phase claw-pole motors employed as refrigerator fan blowers is proposed. A single-phase claw-pole motor has the advantages of low manufacturing cost, easy manufacturing, and a high number of turns. However, in such motors, current delays occur owing to a high inductance; therefore, it is necessary to merge the back-electromotive force and current phases into the same phase using the phase advance method. Additionally, a sin
