Analyzes comprehensively the torque ripple causes of brushless DC motor, and proposes a new method of adding the first stage DC converter to control torque ripple. By using buck DC converter and adjusting bus voltage of the inverter to suppress the torque ripple, on the basis establishes brushless DC motor model in MATLAB/Simulink and simulates the system. The result indicates that the method suppresses the torque ripple of brushless DC motor effectively.
