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%.

In existing mixer grinders, the universal motor is used due to its high starting torque than the induction motor. To achieve higher speed for smaller devices, the implementation of the universal motor becomes cheaper. The absence of brushes and the reduction of noise in the BLDC extends its lifetime, making it ideal for a mixer grinder. The solar-powered BLDC motor drive for a mixer grinder is presented in this paper. A DC-DC buck boost (BB) converter is utilised to operate the PV (photovoltaic) array at its highest power. The proposed hysteresis current (HC) control BLDC system is developed in the MATLAB. A comparison performance is demonstrated between the commercially available mixer grinder and the simulated proposed system.

Torque ripple and resulted acoustic noise and vibration are the main disadvantages of brushless DC (BLDC) motor drives. In this study, One-Cycle Control (OCC) is developed for current regulation of brushless DC (BLDC) motor drive as a unified constant-frequency integration control strategy. Employing one-cycle control strategy reduces high frequency torque ripple of conventional hysteresis current controllers leading to lower acoustic noise and vibration in the drive. To enhance reliability and reducing drive cost, an improved rotor position estimation technique is implemented. OCC strategy and sensorless method are realized using a low-cost general-purpose AVR microcontroller (Atmega8). It is shown that torque ripple, acoustic noise and vibration are reduced via OCC method comparing to conventional hysteresis control strategy. Computer simulations and experimental results with a 375W, 16 poles BLDC motor, demonstrate improved behavior of developed sensorless BLDC drive operation.

This paper presents a brushless DC (BLDC) motor drive with direct torque control (DTC).The detailed hardware and software design are analyzed and designed. The performance of the BLDC employing DTC is compared with that of BLDC utilizing PWM current control. A prototype of BLDC motor drive based on the DSP controller with DTC control is implemented and validated by the exhibition of waveforms measurement for currents, torque, flux linkage, and speed. The experimental results not only verify the feasibility of designed system but also demonstrate that BLDC with DTC control has superior characteristics than that with PWM current control.

This paper proposes the implementation of simple boost circuit incorporated in inverter fed Brushless DC (BLDC) motor drive to boost the performance of torque. BLDC motor becoming subtle because of its performance. But the motor performance is inferior due to the voltage source inverter fed operation of BLDC motor which initiates torque ripple during commutation. Here the usage of Switched Boost Inverter (SBI) which minimizes the storage elements (passive elements), more active element and introduces shoot through mode during commutation as like Z-source inverter.  The analyses of three phase switched boost inverter fed BLDC motor drive have been carried out. The performance of torque almost depends on the stator phase current of the motor. In BLDC motor during commutation interval, one phase loss its exact stator phase current hence it instigate ripple on the torque. The proposed method focuses two intentions to reduce the torque ripple. The first intension is to operate the BLDC motor at 180<sup>ᵒ</sup> electrical conduction mode, second intension is to introduce the shoot through interval to boost the dc link voltage so as to maintain the stator phase current control which leads to suppress the torque ripple during commutation.  The validation of the proposed SBI based BLDC motor control is demonstrated both by MATLAB/Simulink and Field programmable gate array (FPGA) controller-SPARRTAN III processor. The experimental results of the developed SBI based BLDC motor drive is working over a wide speed range with minimal torque ripple compared to the normal PWM based inverter control.

<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>
