Abstract
In this article, the parameter identification of a brushless DC motor (BLDC) is presented. The approach here presented is based on a direct identification considering a three-phase line-to-line voltage electromagnetic torque as function of the electric currents and rotor speed. The estimation is divided into two stages. First, the electrical parameters are estimated by well-known no-load and DC tests. Consequently, estimation of mechanical parameters is performed using a recursive Least Square Algorithm. The proposed approach is validated by comparing model responses to motor real time responses. Additionally, the design, digital simulation and real time implementation of a PI rotor speed controller, based on the estimated model, validate the identification proposal presented here.
