A REVIEW OF BLDC MOTOR FOR ELEVATOR APPLICATION
https://doi.org/10.24247/IJEEERAUG20182Abstract
An elevator is a system basically used for vertical transportation of goods or humans. In past and present many motors has been used or in use for Elevator application. Out of which each type of motor has its own merits as well as demerits. By the use of power electronic converters and controllers, DC motors have been replaced by Induction motor and permanent magnet synchronous motor for elevator application. Today, many motor manufacturing industries are focusing on Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motor due to its smooth speed control, high power density and fewer complexities in power converter and controllers when operated with DC supply & compared with other motors. This paper gives the review of BLDC motor for Elevator application and also the presentation of some pre-requirements & calculations of finding the torque, angular speed and rotational speed for BLDC motor design approach. Further different software such as ANSYS-MAXWELL or MATLAB SIMULINK can be used for the analysis for BLDC motor. KEYWORDS: Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) Motor, Elevator, Induction Motor (IM) & Permanent Magnet
FAQs

What advantages do BLDC motors offer over traditional DC motors in elevators?
The paper reveals that BLDC motors provide higher efficiency, better speed control, and reduced maintenance compared to DC motors, which experience issues like brush wear and sparking.
How does the PMSM compare to induction motors for elevator applications?
The findings indicate PMSMs are favored due to their higher efficiency and 50% compactness compared to induction motors when paired with gearless designs.
What challenges are associated with using PMSMs in elevator systems?
This research points out that PMSMs generate harmonics and vibrations, impacting performance and requiring further optimization to mitigate such effects.
How do variable frequency drives influence induction motor performance in elevators?
The study notes that VFDs facilitate precise speed control for induction motors, marking a significant shift in elevator technology for improved operational efficiency.
What is the importance of counterweight ratio in elevator BLDC motor design?
The paper emphasizes that an appropriate counterweight ratio is critical; low ratios, like 40%, necessitate greater torque during upward movement of a fully loaded cabin.
