Abstract

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.

Abstract

A Permanent Magnet BLDC motor is designed for reduction in cogging torque and flux per pole. The cogging torque causes direct impact in permanent magnet BLDC motor performance by causing torque ripple problems. This paper proposes a new method for reducing cogging torque by adapting to U-clamped magnetic poles. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is used to calculate the cogging torque and the flux per pole for different shapes of magnetic pole. It can be shown that the cogging torque could be greatly reduced by adapting to U-clamped magnetic poles. At the same time it is found that the flux per pole is also considerably reduced. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by comparing the cogging torque and flux per pole for various designs available in the literature.
