3. Abstract • Brushless DC (BLDC) motor drives are continuallygaining popularity in motion control applications. Therefore,it is necessary to have a low cost, but effective BLDC motor speed/torque regulator. • This paper introduces a novel conceptfor digital control of trapezoidal BLDC motors. The digitalcontroller was implemented via two different methods, namelyconduction-angle control and current-mode control.

4. Introduction • This paper proposes a novel digital controller that treats the BLDC motor drive like a digital system which may only operate at a few predefined states that produce constant predefined motor speeds. Speed regulation is achieved by alternating states during operation, which makes the concept of the controller extremely simple for design and implementation purposes. • This novel concept will help reduce the cost and complexity of the motor control hardware. That, in turn, can boost the acceptance level of BLDC motors for commercial mass production applications, successfully fulfilling the promises of energy savings associated with adjustable speed drives.

9. Controller Design(1/6) • Newton’s second law applied to rotary motion • The solution to the differential equationgives the instantaneous speed as a function of motor parametersand load conditions, see (1) (2) (3)

10. Controller Design(2/6) • Understeady-state conditions and with the substitution of the timeconstant into (3) yields (4) • The instantaneous torque sensitivity values kti , i = a, b, c are approximatedby kt which is the peak to peak value of kti . The current peak values are assumed to be constant since operation is insteady state (4) (5)

11. Controller Design(3/6) • Equation (5) is substituted into (4) and solved for the averagecurrent. The equation for the current is a function of the desiredsteady-state rotor speed. It can be used to find the necessarycurrent to produce ωL and ωH for a given load (6)

13. Controller Design(5/6) • The average current instate 1 must be equal to the integral over the partial conductionangle as shown below. (9)

14. Controller Design(6/6) In summary, to implement the digital controller to any BLDC motor under a constant load torque, the following procedureshould be followed. 1)Find the following motor parameters from the manufac-turer’s data sheet. kt Torque sensitivity constant. b Viscous friction constant. J Rotor moment of inertia. τm Mechanical time constant. 2) Determine the desired operating speed and specify the load torque. 3) Choose ωH and ωL to cover the desired speed range. 4) Use (6) to determine the values of and , ( → CBmin and → CBmax ). 5) Use (9) to determine the value of (only necessary for conduction-angle control).

15. Simulations(1/8) • 1)Determine the conduction interval for all three phases. • 2) Estimate the conduction interval duration (TC ). • 3) Maintain the phase currents within the CB during the conduction interval for all three phases. • 4) Determine when is reached during a conduction interval. • 5) Choose the appropriate state to apply to the next conduc- tion interval.

26. Conclusion(4/5) • The conduction angel control simulations and experimental results were in accordance with one another. Speed regulationfor all the commanded speeds were well within acceptable limits. • It is important tonote that all the measured speed ripples included the inherent speed ripple associated with trapezoidal BLDC motors. The inherent speed ripple is largely due to the nonideal trapezoidal back EMF, which does not have perfectly flat plateaus asassumed in the PSIM simulations.

27. Conclusion(5/5) • In conclusion, this paper has presented the initial investigation and proof-of-concept for a new way of lookingat digital control for BLDC motors. • Further development and modification of the state definitions will allow for additional speed ripple reduction, making it suitable for high-performance motor drive applications.
