Solar energy power generation has several advantages such as low maintenance costs; environment friendly, no rotating parts in construc-tion gives no noise. In recent years, solar power is used to charge the batteries of electric vehicles and instead of internal combustion En-gines the Electric motors such as DC motors, Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are used for driving the vehicles. The Multiple Lift Push-Pull Luo (MLPPL) converter is a DC-DC converter, which combines both switched capacitor and voltage lift techniques. Further, the MLPPL converters can be used in high power density, high power efficiency and voltage transfer gain applications. In this work, a MLPPL convert-er integrated with voltage source inverter (VSI) loading BLDC motor drive for automotive applications have been proposed. Further, the simulation of the proposed design has been carried out using MATLAB/Simulink Software. The torque of the BLDC motor has been varied and the performance of the MLPPL converter has been analyzed. Results demonstrate that the proposed design is capable to operate over a wide range of torque, which fulfills the application of Electric Vehicle.

In large and small scale applications, different kinds of variable speed driving systems can be found. For saving the energy consumption of these devices, eco-friendly electronics are used, which lead to the development of the Brushless DC motor (BLDC). Its higher power density, higher efficiency, higher torque at low speed, and low maintenance enhances the use of a BLDC motor. The existing mixer grinder consists of the universal motor, which operates in alternating current supply due to high starting torque characteristics and simple controlling of the speed. The absence of brushes and the reduction of noise in the BLDC extends its life and makes it ideal in a mixer grinder. A solar-powered BLDC motor drive for a mixer grinder is presented in this paper. A DC-DC buck converter is utilized to operate the PV (photovoltaic) array at its maximum power. The proposed hysteresis current control BLDC system has been developed in the MATLAB. The commercially available mixer grinder is presented along with the proposed simulated system for performance comparison. It can be concluded that at the no load condition, the efficiency of the experimental existing mixer grinder is 51.03% and simulated proposed system is 81.25% and at load condition, the efficiency of the experimental mixer grinder is 49.32% and simulated system is 79.85%.

<p>In this paper, a new Buck PFC dc–dc converter topology along with fuzzy logic control for a permanent magnet (PM) brushless dc motor (PMBLDCM) has been proposed. The proposed buck-PFC converter topology is on single stage power factor correction converter. A concept of dc link voltage control which is proportional to speed of the PMBLDCM is used in this paper. The stator currents of the PMBLDCM during step change in the reference speed are controlled within the specified limits by an addition of a rate limiter in the reference dc link voltage. The effectives of the proposed control strategy of PMBLDCM drive is validated through simulation results.</p>

This paper presents the performance of Brushless DC (BLDC) Motor drive with only one positioning sensor instead of three conventional sensors. The three sensor units are replaced with a single stator current sensor unit in DC bus which further reduces the cost increasing the reliability of the drive system. Using a single sensor in stator requires minimum electronic equipment for the purpose of measurement process. This paper evolves the BLDC motor drive fed from PV system. A high voltage-gain DC-DC converter is presented in this paper to step-up the voltage from PV system. The appropriateness of PV fed BLDC motor drive is verified for variable increamental speed with fixed torque and variable decremental speed with fixed torque operating conditions. BLDC motor drive performance is also performed for variable torque with fixed peed working condition. The proposed system and results are developed using MATLAB/SIMULINK software.

This paper presents an efficiency comparison and verification of two types of Brushless DC (BLDC) motors and drives combination. The trapezoidal BLDC motor is excited by trapezoidal drive and sinusoidal BLDC motor is excited by sinusoidal drive. In air conditioner fan motor system, the sinusoidal type of BLDC motor with sinusoidal drive is applied. However, the DC link voltage of the motor is high and thus demands for high power consumption. Furthermore, the sinusoidal drive use vector control which is complicated to be implemented and make the driver high cost. Therefore, further improvement in energy consumption and drive system is required by develop combination of trapezoidal BLDC motor with trapezoidal drive. Thus, these two combination motors and drives required for efficiency comparison. The motors drives are simulated by using MATLAB and then their efficiencies are measured. At the end of this paper, the results show that the trapezoidal BLDC motor with trapezoidal drive offers higher efficiency compared to sinusoidal BLDC motor with vector control drive. It indicates that the developed drive system is considerable to be applied in the air conditioner fan motor system.
