In order to improve the efficiency, we should know the loss characteristics of inverter-fed induction motors. We first have to accurately measure the total motor losses, and then obtain each loss component by reasonably separate the total motor losses. In this paper, the total losses of a 5.5 kW, a 22 kW, a 30 kW, a 37 kW, a 45 kW and a 55 kW induction motors under sinusoidal supply and PWM inverter...
Due to the harmonics produced by inverter supply, the distribution characteristics of rotor copper and iron losses become more complicated in the inverter-fed induction motor (IFIM). To study the distribution characteristics of rotor copper and iron losses of the IFIM, we propose a new method to identify the harmonics of current density in the rotor bar and flux density in the rotor core using one...
Current derivative based sensorless control methods, which falls under saliency tracking technique, is a promising new sensorless control methods for AC machines over a wide speed range, including zero speed.

Model predictive direct power control (MPDPC) has been widely concerned in the control of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) systems owing to its simple concept and good multivariate control ability. The optimal voltage vector is selected based on the principle of power error minimization. Nevertheless, the conventional MPDPC still presents relatively high power ripples and the switching frequency...

The paper deals with brushless DC motors (BLDC) operated in high speed region without any speed or position sensor. A six-step commutation technique is used to control the BLDC motor, utilizing the disconnected motor phase for sensing the induced voltage. The main goal of the paper is to describe the limitation of the conventional 6-step commutation control in sensorless mode at high speeds and to...
Motor current measurement techniques as well as predictive control algorithms for electric drives rely on an assumption of linear motor currents changes resulting from constant inverter output voltages. Recent research has reported that this assumption does not hold in motors with short electrical time constant, and in drives whose rotor position advances substantially during a control period. This...
The output torque of switched reluctance motor (SRM) can be controlled by flowing an appropriate current through the armature windings. In general, current hysteresis control has been applied. However, there is a problem that acoustic noise generated from the SRM at the driving tends to become large. Then, there are reports that PWM control has been applied to suppress the acoustic noise. This paper...
The output torque of an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) can be controlled within its allowable range using a pulse-width modulation (PWM) inverter. In this paper, the effect of the load torque on the iron losses of an IPMSM is studied by investigating three driving conditions, namely no-current, no-load and load conditions. The experimental data demonstrates that a torque increase...
The use of converters to feed motors instead of the direct-on-line supply has increased the need to understand the behaviour of the induction machine in different operating points. The additional losses in frequency converter fed machines are caused by the harmonic content of a PWM voltage excitation. This paper investigates closely the harmonic contents of stator supply voltage and current. Most...
Using field-programmable gate array (FPGA) and current oversampling, a novel approach for anisotropy-based position estimation of PM synchronous machines is presented. A least mean squares regression of the current samples is performed by an FPGA during the inverter's passive switching states to compute current slopes at active voltage vectors and evaluate them for position estimation. Using the predictive...

High frequency (HF) signal injection scheme is widely used to estimate the initial rotor position of Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (IPMSM). The accuracy of the estimated rotor position, however, may be degraded by the phase delay caused by pulse width modulation (PWM), digital filters in signal demodulation process, non- ideality of inverter, and so on. To solve this problem, the main...

A pattern matching method for position sensorless control of IPMSMs having non-sinusoidal inductance spatial distribution in standstill and very low speed region has been proposed. In the proposed method, the rotor position is estimated by comparing the phase current derivatives measured in a real-time with those in advanced. The current derivatives are obtained by measuring the phase currents twice...
One of the commonly used approaches to avoid the short circuit of power devices for pulse-width-modulation (PWM) inverters is to add dead-time into the control signals. The drawback of this approach is that severe distortion in phase currents and output voltages may occur. This paper proposes an adaptive-linear-neuron based nonlinearity compensation strategy to cope with the disturbance voltage caused...
