Page 6 of 6 Summary The US Dept of Energy estimates that 60 to 65% of all energy produced in the United States is consumed by electric motors. In addition, applications such as electric vehicles are creating new uses for advanced motor control techniques. Hall-based commutation, sinusoidal commutation, and field oriented control all have applications for use in brushless DC motors, however increasingly, field oriented control will become the method of choice due to its improved efficiency over a wide operating range. AC induction motors are now being coupled with sophisticated controllers to create higher performance and greater efficiency systems. The adoption rates of these techniques will increase as the cost of electronics goes down, and as consumer demand for operating efficiency increases. |
