The paper presents an optimization design of an in-wheel BLDC motor for a kick scooter. The optimization is performed using a genetic optimization tool combined with a FEM commercial software. The new contributions of the paper are: (i) introduction of three operating modes for which the motor is optimized with a reduced number of FEM simulations and (ii) new approach to simultaneously maximize the...
A sensorless position detection technique for a permanent magnet (PM) motor with non-salient rotor is presented. It is shown that the phase self inductances and resistances measured at higher frequencies vary slightly with the rotor position. The origin of the variations is found in the iron B-H hysteresis characteristics. In order to exploit these small variations for the rotor position detection,...
The paper presents a complete mathematical analysis of a BLDC motor commutation which results in the motor static characteristics torque-speed and efficiency-speed. The motor, having a sinusoidal back emf, is supplied from a DC source via a 6-leg inverter using the 120degON operation. The formulas for the phase currents and voltages are derived. The first harmonic of the phase voltage is determined,...
The paper presents an application of the Matlab optimization algorithms to a slotless brushless DC (BLDC) motor design, with 7 design parameters chosen to be free. The tested algorithms are: classical (gradient-based), direct-search and genetic. As a conclusion, the direct-search algorithm is not suitable for this application, as it is highly dependent on the initial values. The classical or genetic...
