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.

The torque ripple of brushless dc (BLDC) motors at low rotation speeds is prominent, while in the majority of working time of the automotive electric power steering (EPS) system, the steering rate is low and the assistant motor runs at low rotation speeds. Therefore, to develop a high-performance EPS system with a BLDC motor, the problem of torque ripple at low rotation speeds must be solved. Otherwise, the steering feel will not be smooth. This paper proposed an algorithm based on BLDC motors’ essential torque formula combined with the back-EMF (Electromotive Force) waveform coefficient to modify the target current to suppress the torque pulsation effectively. Meanwhile, the commutation process of this type motor is very short. Therefore, the torque coefficient can be regarded as constant during the commutation intervals. A direct pulse-width modulation (PWM) control method considering phase resistances is analyzed with a unipolar PWM scheme to reduce the commutation torque ripple further. Finally, simulations and experiments are conducted to verify the effectiveness of this method.

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.

Traditional square current driving method has deficiencies in muting and efficiency when controlling the brushless DC motor. This paper presents a method of space vector pulse width modulation for BLDCM, which is in five-segment type. A mathematical model of BLDCM, which is in d-q coordinate system, was established. Then, the experimental platform was constructed with the STM32F103 for BLDCM of electric vehicle. And the experiment results verify the properties of little torque ripple, smooth operation and low switching losses. Besides, the system dynamic and static performance is greatly improved, and has strong robustness. The method proposed overcomes the shortcomings of square current driving method in control efficiency and motor 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.

In vehicle electrical systems with limited battery power, the output torque and speed of high-speed brushless DC (BLDC) motors can decrease due to unstable and reduced supply voltage or manufacturing errors in the motor back electromotive force (EMF). This paper presents a method that can guarantee the output performance of an inverter through a control algorithm without a separate power supply system and DC-link voltage increase. The proposed control algorithm can increase the output torque and speed of a high-speed BLDC motor by using appropriate selection and change of the inverter’s pulse width modulation (PWM) control method. In this paper, the operation and electrical characteristics of various PWM methods of BLDC motors are analyzed, and the optimal PWM method for improving the control performance of high-speed BLDC motors is presented. In addition, the relationship between the switching frequency, dead time, and voltage utilization was mathematically analyzed. Based on the results of this analysis, the proposed control algorithm automatically changes the PWM switching mode at the point where the output torque and speed need to be extended. The effectiveness and feasibility of the control method proposed in this paper is verified through the experimental results on the designed and manufactured high-speed BLDC motor system for vehicles.

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are becoming an increasingly popular motor of choice for its unique characteristics. The BLDC motor drive is assumed to have trapezoidal back-electromotive force (EMF), rectangular phase currents and together produces the desired torque. However, practical back-EMF waveform might not be exactly trapezoidal because of current ripple, design considerations and manufacturing limitations. The adverse effect is the torque ripple generated due to the current ripple that causes mechanical vibration, acoustic noise and affects the accuracy of speed and position control which is not desirable in motor operation. In this paper an algorithm is developed to control and minimize the generated torque ripple using Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) scheme. The efficiency improvement of slim type BLDC motor is confirmed using MATLAB environment and low cost TI Piccolo F28035 microcontroller (MC).
