Abstract This paper presents an IHQRR (integrated high-quality rectifier regulator) BIBRED (boost integrated buck rectifier energy storage DC-DC) converter-based VSI (voltage source inverter)-fed BLDC (brushless DC) motor drive. The speed control of BLDC motor is achieved by controlling the DC link voltage of the VSI using a single voltage sensor. This allows VSI to operate in fundamental frequency switching mode for electronic commutation of BLDC motor which reduces the switching losses due to high-frequency switching used in conventional approach of PWM (pulse width modulation)-based VSI-fed BLDC motor drive. A BIBRED converter is operated in a dual-DCM (discontinuous conduction mode) thus using a voltage follower approach for PFC (power factor correction) and DC link voltage control. The performance of the proposed drive is evaluated for improved power quality over a wide range of speed control and supply voltage variation for demonstrating the behavior of proposed drive. The power quality indices thus obtained are within the recommended limits by international PQ (power quality) standards such as IEC 61000-3-2.

Abstract This article presents a design of a power factor correction (PFC)-based brushless DC (BLDC) motor drive. The speed control of BLDC motor is achieved by controlling the DC link voltage of the voltage source inverter (VSI) feeding BLDC motor using a single voltage sensor. A front-end bridgeless single-ended primary inductance converter (SEPIC) is used for DC link voltage control and PFC operation. A bridgeless SEPIC is designed to operate in discontinuous inductor current mode (DICM) thus utilizing a simple control scheme of voltage follower. An electronic commutation of BLDC motor is used for VSI to operate in a low-frequency operation for reduced switching losses in the VSI. Moreover, a bridgeless topology offers less conduction losses due to absence of diode bridge rectifier for further increasing the efficiency. The proposed BLDC motor drive is designed to operate over a wide range of speed control with an improved power-quality at the AC mains under the recommended international power-quality standards such as IEC 61000–3-2.

This paper mainly impacts on a bridgeless buck boost converter fed Brush Less Direct Current (BLDC) motor drive with Power Factor Correction (PFC) which is low cost and well suitable for low power applications. The speed of the BLDC motor is controlled by adjusting the Voltage Source Inverter’s dc link voltage which is then employed along with a distinct voltage sensor. Thus the fundamental frequency switching of VSI operation becomes quite ease with BLDC motor’s electronic turn off which provides minimal switching losses. An acceptable performance is attained for speed control having power quality indicators within the allowable limits. To end with the suggested drive’s prototype model has been implemented to evaluate and confirm the suggested BLDC motor drive’s performance for various speed controls with enhanced AC main’s power quality.

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.

Z-source inverter is a recently invented new power conversion concept mainly developed for fuel vehicular applications by advantageously utilizing the shoot through states to boost the DC-bus voltage. The impedance network contains two inductors and three diodes and is connected in between the DC source and inverter bridge. This shoot through state provides the unique buck-boost feature to the DC-link voltage and hence the AC output voltage of the inverter. By varying the boost factor and modulation index, the output AC voltage can be maintained at any value between zero and infinity regardless of DC voltage giving a wide range of voltage. Thus Z-source inverter overcomes the conceptual and theoretical barriers and limitations of the traditional inverters and provides high efficiency single stage structure for buck and boost operation. Previous publications have shown speed control of BLDC motor by controlling the DC link voltage of voltage source inverter using bridgeless buck boost converter. This paper presents the speed control of BLDC motor by controlling the shoot through states of Z-source neutral point clamped inverter using a space vector modulation technique which possess advantage of reduced harmonics with boosted output voltage. The proposed technique is demonstrated in simulation by using MATLAB software.
