CHAPTER 4. BACK-EMF DETECTION CIRCUITS
4.6 Experimental Results
To evaluate the low-speed performances of various BEDCs under position-dependent load torque, an experimental system is set up in the laboratory. It mainly consists of two identified BDCMs coupled to each other as plotted in Fig. 4.1, an aluminum disk and a copper cylinder where the cylinder is fixed on the disk as shown in Fig. 4.11. All the motors and the disk are coupled to the unique shaft. The circuit parameters of used BEDCs and motor parameters of two used BDCMs in experiments are the same as (4.12) and Table 4.2.
The two coupled BDCMs can be seen as a Motor-Generator (M-G) set where the Generator-end terminals are connected to the Y-connected resistors as shown in Fig. 4.1 in order to provide a constant load torque regardless of the rotor position. Besides, the copper cylinder on the disk contributes to a position-dependent load torque because of the unified direction of the gravity force. Since the weight of copper cylinder is 203.58g and its distance to the couple is 5cm, the resulting peak torque is near 0.2N-m.
MCU SPMC75F2413A is used to implement the control loop shown in Fig. 4.1. This MCU is able to provide two channels of 16 bit phase detecting control (PDC) timers for
capture function and PWM operation. The PDC timers are very useful for mechanical speed calculation.

As shown in the dashed line of Fig. 4.1, all sensorless functions including commutation signal generator, speed estimation, speed controller and switching signal generator are digitally implemented in general-purpose MCU. The BDCM speed

r,Low), the error due to fixed execution time is relatively small and can be neglected. Therefore, the current commutation error is dominated by the position detecting error of BEDC. The smaller position error may lead to small current commutation error and thus, small current and small power at low speed.copper cylinder

Consequently, we turn to record the input power with various BDCM speed and position-dependent load torque. Relatively small input power implies that small position detecting error exists in experiment. The Generator-end terminals are connected to three 5Ω resistors (

g =5Ω) in order to run at relatively low speed.With position-dependent load torque, the recorded BDCM speed

r and input powerP for BEDC-I and BEDC-II are plotted in Fig. 4.12. From Fig. 4.12, we can find that with
inthe same BDCM speed, less power is required for BEDC-II than that for BEDC-I. Thus, BEDC-II actually yields better performance than BEDC-I at low speed.

With the increase of speed, the fixed execution time would result in relatively large phase error. Therefore, the commutation error for BEDC-II may be larger than that for BEDC-I at high speed (i.e. near
ω
r,High), though BEDC-II is better than BEDC-I from simulation results.At low speed (i.e. near
ω

BDCM SENSORLESS CONTROL
5.1 Introduction
In Chapter 2 and Chapter 3, we had studied the characteristics of various SWPWMs and understood that modified
150
o SWPWM is better than150
o SWPWM. In chapter 4, the performances of sensorless control via BEDC with120
o SWPWM are reviewed. We find that BEDC-II is better than BEDC-I and not all linear120
o SWPWM types can be used in the sensorless control due to the commutation signal generator of BEDC-II. In addition, since there is no floating phase in180
o SWPWM, no linear180
o SWPWM types can be used in BDCM sensorless control.Due to the six two-switch conducting states of the twelve states in
150
o SWPWM,150
o SWPWM can be used in sensorless control. In this chapter, we first sieve out the150
o SWPWM types that can be used in sensorless control (namely sensorless150
o SWPWM types) from linear150
o SWPWM types. Then, we propose the commutation signal generator and speed estimation adopted for150
o SWPWM. Finally, the simulated and experimental results are provided to show the performance improvement from using twelve-step150

From Chapter 2, we know that there are 9 linear
120
o SWPWM types. However, from the complication of commutation signal generator discussed in Chapter 4, we know that not all linear120
o SWPWM types can be used in the sensorless control via BEDC-II assensorless

o SWPWM types can be used in the sensorless control via BEDC-II as sensorless150

o SWPWM types form 9 linear120
o SWPWM types, all position sensing signalsH of 9 linear
a120
o SWPWM types generated from BEDC-II are plotted in Fig. 5.1.Due to the use of a single-edge trigger function in the
120
o SWPWM commutation signal generator plotted in Fig. 4.9, the position signalsH during the floating periods
a (illustrated with dashed line in Fig. 5.1) must be the following patterns listed in Fig. 5.2(a) and Fig. 5.2(b) in order to detect the correct zero-crossing points of motor back-EMFs. On the other hand, some linear120
o SWPWM cannot be used in sensorless control, once the patterns listed in Fig. 5.2(c) are found in the position signalsH .
aIt follows that only types-01_01, 01_11, 11_01 and 11_11 can be sensorless

In order to bypass the conduction time of freewheeling diode, the reset signal
H
reset should be a time-delayT signal from the latest commutation signal commutation signal
dH2 to reset the single-edge trigger function. Then, the final commutation signal H can be synthesized from the OR operation of signals H1 and H2. The commutation signal generator used in
150
o SWPWM can be plotted in Fig. 5.4.From Fig. 5.4, a multiplexer is used to select the position signal of unexciting phase by commutation signal H2. In order to operate BDCM normally, we should commutate current adequately at (15o + k×30o) position behind ZCPs of back-EMFs with modified
150
o SWPWM. Due to the conduction of freewheeling diodes at the current commutation, the terminal voltage would be equal toV or zero until line current returns to zero, which may
dc result in the failure detection of ZCPs. Therefore, in the commutation signal generator, the single-edge-trigger function is designed to capture the first edge-change of signalH
MUX and then, hold until the coming of active reset signalH
reset. The reset signalH

In this study, the proposed starting strategy of BDCM is divided into alignment mode and synchronization mode. The rotor is forced to locate in a given position in alignment mode. In synchronizing mode, the six switching signals start changing to generate a synchronous rotating magnet field with increasing rotating speed. When the standstill characteristics are known, an optimal accelerating speed rate and the accompanying voltage (PWM duty) can be obtained to lead the rotor rotating in specified speed synchronously to some speed where the sensorless circuits are able to function well.
5.4 Simulation Results
In this section, some simulation results are provided to evaluate the performance of six-step BDCM sensorless control (
120
o SWPWM) and twelve-step BDCM sensorless control (150
o SWPWM). The configuration of sensorless control had been plotted in Fig. 4.1 and the simulated program in PSIM software is plotted in Fig. 5.5.As shown in Fig. 5.5, the PSIM program involves four parts: three phase inverter which is fed by dc voltage 300V, BEDC-II, DLL block which involves the sensorless function of commutation signal generator, speed estimator, switching signal generator, and two coupled motors where one is called motor and the other is seen as a generator connected to Y-connected resistances
R .
gAccording to the BEDC-II analysis in (4.9)~(4.11), the simulated parameters for BEDC-II are listed as (4.12) and BEDC-II obtains the position signals
H ,
aH and
bH from the
c inverter and motor terminal voltages VP,V ,
aV and
bV . By inputting the above position
c signalsH , H and H into the DLL block, commutation signal H and the estimated
speed ω can be obtained from (5.1). Then, the speed controller tunes the PWM duty ratio r adequately according to the speed difference between speed command
ω
*r and the estimated speed ω . At the same time, the switching signal generator yields the six gate signals r according to the commutation signalH and PWM duty ratio to yield square-wave currents
adequately.The parameters of motor and inverter have been listed in Table 3.5, and those of generator are tabulated in Table 5.3.

g = 20Ω are plotted in Fig. 5.6 and Fig. 5.7, respectively. We can find that both six-step and twelve-step sensorless controls work stably. In addition, it is noted that current harmonics in motor windings would not only result in the excess copper loss, but also contribute to the torque ripple at the shaft, the vibration and acoustic noise. It follows that current harmonics should be reduced as far as possible.As shown in Fig. 5.6, when the yielding motor current is small (i.e. light load), the listed
THD and WTHD values show that six-step sensorless control is preferred. On the other hand,
when the yielding current becomes large (i.e. heavy load), the listed THD and WTHD values in Fig. 5.7 implies that twelve-step sensorless control is better than six-step sensorless control.Ha

From Table 5.5, we can find that the current harmonics of six-step sensorless control is less than that of twelve-step sensorless control when the motor speed ω is smaller than r 1500rpm. However, when the speed becomes higher than 1500rpm, the current harmonics of six-step sensorless control is larger than that of twelve-step sensorless control.
Consequently, it is preferred to use twelve-step sensorless control at those conditions closed to the rated condition.

CHAPTER 6
CONCLUSION
In order to integrate the small-sized motor drivers into SOC design, we should minimize the power consumption due to gate driving circuit, reduce temperature rise and eliminate possible hot spot in the PWM motor driver. With the common six-switch circuit topology, best selection of SWPWM scheme is an effective way to overcome the SOC challenges – power consumption and thermal balance. After the classification of linear modulation, effective PWM transition rate
α
PWM , power loss unbalanced ratio and experimental demonstration, this thesis recommends the following best SWPWM schemes for SOC design type 01_01 and 10_10 for120
° SWPWM and type 010_010 for180
° SWPWM. The results are very important for small-sized motor drivers in some portable and electric equipment powered by batteries.In addition, the low-speed performances and comparisons of two BEDCs and their sensorless controls are studied under position-dependent load torque. The implementation of commutation signal generation is the only difference between the sensorless control of BEDC-I and BEDC-II. From the analysis, the implementation of sensorless control for BEDC-I is simpler than that for BEDC-II. However, BEDC-II yields less position detecting error than BEDC-I especially at low speed. The simulation and experimental results also demonstrate the analysis result. It follows that BEDC-II is suitable in low-speed application of BDCMs.
Based on the study of SWPWM and BEDC, the proposed twelve-step BDCM sensorless control had been designed and implemented. The result shows that twelve-step BDCM sensorless control is better than six-step BDCM sensorless control at those conditions close to the rated condition. The performance evaluation of position-dependent load torque will be the
