Excessive Noise

Noise levels in household appliances are increasingly attracting attention from manufacturers and customers. Legislation is becoming more severe on acceptable noise levels and low noise is a major marketing point for many products. The latest trend in the refrigerator manufacturing industry is to use brushless DC (BLDC) motors instead of induction motors in order to reduce energy consumption and noise radiation. However, cogging torque from BLDC motor is an undesirable effect that prevents the smooth rotation of the rotor and results in noise. This paper presents a practical approach for identifying the source of excessive noise in the small fan-motor system for household refrigerators. The source is presumed to a mechanical resonance excited by torque ripple of the BLDC motor. By using finite element analysis, natural frequencies and mode shapes of the rotating part of the system are obtained and they are compared with experimental mode shapes obtained by electronic torsional excitation test which uses BLDC motor itself as an exciter. Two experimental validations are carried out to confirm the reduction of excessive noise.

This paper proposes an improved methodology to minimize the cogging torque, harmonics and torque ripples in Brushless DC (BLDC) motor. The cogging torque is reduced by designing the BLDC motor with bifurcated active surface area using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The harmonics and torque ripple is minimized using PI and Fuzzy controllers. These controllers are analyzed to bring out an optimal solution. The effectiveness and flexibility of the individual techniques of proposed control method is verified through simulations [Matlab Simulink]. The experimental result is shown only for fuzzy control because fuzzy is better comparing the performance of PI controllers.

This article represents the torque ripple performance of modular multilevel converter (MMC) fed brushless dc (BLDC) motor using different current control technique. For reducing the ripple current in BLDC motor, a phase-modulated model predictive control (PMMPC) technique has been proposed. The stator ripple current is almost negligible using PMMPC. This PMMPC current control method is a significant minimization of torque ripple in BLDC motor. A comparative torque ripple behaviour of MMC fed BLDC motor has been done using phase-modulated model predictive control, model predictive control (MPC) and proportional integral (PI) control at different switching frequency. It has been observed that a PMMPC current control technique is more efficient as compared to the MPC as well as PI current control technique. It has also been observed that the torque ripple performance is improved while using PMMPC as compared to the MPC and PI controller. Simulation results have been verified with the help of experimental result and these results are obtained in good agreement to the simulated results.

Brushless DC motors have the large applications because of its easiest control system and the highest efficiency. Industrial BLDC motor drives suffers from the ripples in the torque, due to which motor has more noise, vibrations and less efficient. To reduce the ripple, the Space Vector PWM (SVPWM) and Sinusoidal PWM are implemented in BLDC drive. The Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) controls the converter output voltage and frequency. Space Vector PWM (SVPWM)and Sinusoidal PWM are the best techniques used in industries because its easy design. Space Vector PWM control method is implemented and it overcomes the disadvantages in PWM such as losses in switching of the converter, output harmonic content& provides better DC-bus voltages. The torque ripples are also reduced in SVPWM method compared to SPWM method. In this paper BLDC motor with a fuzzy controller is presented and the comparison in performance of SVPWM &SPWM methods presented. The SVPWM makes the drive has less ripple in torque& noiseless operation. The Matlab/Simulink models of SVPWM and SPWM method with fuzzy controlled BLDC motor also presented.

Cogging torque is a problem for continuous motion applications like scanning, contouring and mainly positioning applications that requires smooth and accurate motion. It degrades the performance and the life of the motor. Cogging torque cannot be completely omitted but can be reduced drastically using various design modification techniques. This paper focuses on reducing cogging torque in BLDC using three different techniques like stator slot modification, rotor magnet modification and skewing of stator slots and rotor magnets. The result obtained by combining these three techniques has yielded a new model with reduced cogging torque and trapezoidal Back Electromotive Force as compared to the conventional BLDC motor. Also, the cogging torque values for different rotor magnets and stator slots shapes are calculated and studied using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). A detailed thermal analysis of the same model presents the temperature and heat flow plots using Computer Aided Design (CAD).

This paper presents an efficiency comparison and verification of two types of Brushless DC (BLDC) motors and drives combination. The trapezoidal BLDC motor is excited by trapezoidal drive and sinusoidal BLDC motor is excited by sinusoidal drive. In air conditioner fan motor system, the sinusoidal type of BLDC motor with sinusoidal drive is applied. However, the DC link voltage of the motor is high and thus demands for high power consumption. Furthermore, the sinusoidal drive use vector control which is complicated to be implemented and make the driver high cost. Therefore, further improvement in energy consumption and drive system is required by develop combination of trapezoidal BLDC motor with trapezoidal drive. Thus, these two combination motors and drives required for efficiency comparison. The motors drives are simulated by using MATLAB and then their efficiencies are measured. At the end of this paper, the results show that the trapezoidal BLDC motor with trapezoidal drive offers higher efficiency compared to sinusoidal BLDC motor with vector control drive. It indicates that the developed drive system is considerable to be applied in the air conditioner fan motor system.

This paper proposes a new converter topology for torque ripple reduction in Brushless DC (BLDC) motor. Due to the torque ripple problem, the use of this motor is limited to few applications. In this paper, a Single Input Double Output (SIDO) converter is proposed to suppress the torque ripple in BLDC motor. The proposed SIDO converter provides two output voltages. One for supplying the motor throughout conduction time and second output voltage is given to the non-commutating phase of motor during commutation instants. This proposed SIDO converter is fed from Photo Voltaic (PV) system. This paper also presents a new Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) based on trisection of Power-Voltage characteristics (TPVC) to attain the maximum power from the PV system. This scheme takes only 7 iterations to reach MPP. The intended configuration is developed and simulated in Matlab/Simulink environment. The results justify the superiority of proposed scheme that minimizes torque ripple in BLDC motor to only 6 to 12% from 50 to 80 % in conventional scheme and also extracts maximum power from PV system. ©2019.

Excessive Noise

Excessive noise is a global occupational health hazard with considerable social and physiological impact, including noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) (Nelson et al., 2005). Noise is one of the most common occupational hazards in American workplaces. This study was performed in the Occupational Safety and Ergonomics Program’s Biomechanics Laboratory at Auburn University. The main purpose of this study was to compare the noise levels made by different air nozzles actually used by a bakery facility to nozzles whose manufacturers purported that they produce significantly less noise. Noise levels were determined using a sound level meter, which was positioned at ear level at distances of 5 and 10 feet. At the factory, air pressure (~100 psi) was used to push product downstream and to speed product cooling. The nozzles used were simple pipes or traditional air nozzles with side venting, but not of a “low noise” design. Two nozzles used by the factory were compared to three quieter nozzles. Nozzles were tested for both noise level and for air pressure (pushing force).

Brushless DC motor has a rotor with permanent magnet and has no mechanical commutator which leads to many advantages like less maintenance, long life, high reliability, low inertia, low friction and low noise. Since the brush system/commutator assembly is replaced by an electronic controller which can be easily integrated into other required electronics, thereby improving the effective power to weight and power to volume ratio. In this paper the direct torque control method is employed to improve its torque ripple content which is been compared with conventional method by using MATLAB. In this project the three phase brushless DC motor model is designed with proportional integral controller and tested in MATLAB software. The PI controller is used to control the speed of the brushless DC motor. On the other hand parameters like Back EMF, current; speed and torque are evaluated for the designed models of BLDC motor. Due to the easy implementation and simple control structure the convectional PI controller are used in industries.
