Brushless DC (BLDC) machines are known to have a high torque/power density but it is still a challenge to design a BLDC with a wide extended speed range while keeping its torque/power density high. A mechanical field weakening method, in which the active axial length of a BLDC machine is reduced on run by axially displacing its rotor with respect to its stator, was proposed to achieve a wider extended speed range with a limited DC-link voltage. However, its effectiveness and optimal application are not considered in detail. The aim of this study is to analyze the extended speed range of an axially displaceable rotor brushless DC (ADR-BLDC) machine. First of all, factors that limit the speed range of an ADR-BLDC machine are discussed. Afterwards, rotational speed limits of the analyzed ADR-BLDC machine are compared for different field weakening approaches. Based on these results a combined field weakening approach that combines both the electrical and mechanical field weakening methods is proposed.

Influence of Phase Magnetic Couplings on Phase Current Characteristics of Multiphase BLDC Machines with Overlapping Phase Windings Bostancı, Emine; Plikat, Robert (2015-09-01) Multiphase brushless dc (BLDC) machines are implemented in electric and hybrid electric vehicle applications due to their high torque/power density, good fault tolerance capability, and low torque ripple. Moreover, the per-phase converter rating can be reduced by increasing the phase number. However, the number of magnetic couplings between phases increases with the phase number, and these magnetic couplings can have an important influence on the machine performance. Therefore, they need to be considered in...
ANALYTICAL MODELLING AND MULTI-OBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION OF AXIAL-FLUX PERMANENT MAGNET MACHINE WITH VARIOUS PCB STATORS AND DEVELOPMENT OF A GAN SWITCHED INTEGRATED MOTOR DRIVE PCB MOTOR Tokgöz, Furkan; Keysan, Ozan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-5-27) The axial-flux machines have been gaining popularity thanks to their higher torque density and short axial length compared to radial-flux machines. However, they are not easy to mass manufacture because of their thin form factor. Printed circuit board (PCB) technology offers a solution to the problem by utilizing the highly developed, precise, and consistent PCB manufacturing process. However, having a low copper fill factor and low inductance are the main disadvantages of the PCB motors. This thesis focuse...
Design optimization of variable frequency driven three-phase induction motors Ertan, B; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Simsir, B; Hamarat, S; Cekic, A; Pirgaip, M (1998-01-01) An approach to optimize the design of three-phase induction motors for a wide speed range drive is considered. Two operating points in the speed range are taken into consideration. The problem is handled as a constrained optimization problem. An accurate model for the motor in terms of its dimensions has been developed which predicts the motor performance based on about 60 parameters of motor geometry.
Field oriented control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor using space vector modulated direct AC-AC matrix converter Yıldırım, Doğan; Ersak, Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012) The study designs and constructs a three-phase to three-phase direct AC–AC matrix converter based surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive system. First, the matrix converter topologies are analyzed and the state-space equations describing the system have been derived in terms of the input and output variables. After that, matrix converter commutation and modulation methods are investigated. A four-step commutation technique based on output current direction provides safe commutation ...
Simulation of Dynamic Operation in Salient Pole Synchronous Machines Dordea, Toma; Munteanu, Radu; Campeanu, Aurel (2011-09-10) The design of today's high performance synchronous motors must take into account not only the steady state but also practically inevitable dynamic regimes. In such conditions an accurate predetermination of the parameters and constructive solution by modeling and simulation of the given dynamic operation, becomes a mandatory step. In this aim, in the present paper a novel mathematical model of the high power salient pole synchronous machine (SPSM) is elaborated. We proposed to consider especially the effect...
