PWM control mode for four-quadrant operation of brushless DC motor

Brushless DC motor has been becoming more popular in industry, electric and aerospace applications, making the control for four-quadrant operation of Brushless DC motor greatly significant. This paper presents pulse width modulation (PWM) control mode for four-quadrant operation of Brushless DC motor, which can realize both motoring and braking operation at the same rotation direction. Based on the forward motoring and braking operation, current process and torque ripple are analyzed during non-commutation and commutation period. The simulation results in MATLAB verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis and the feasibility of the proposed PWM control mode.
