Las principales ventajas de un motor de CD sin escobillas son su alta efi ciencia, poco mantenimiento, larga vida útil, bajo ruido, simplicidad en el control, bajo peso y una construcción compacta. Sin embargo, el controlador tradicional tiene problemas de calidad de la energía relacionados con la inyección de corrientes armónicas y pobre factor de potencia. Este artículo presenta una alternativa para mejorar este aspecto y reducir el contenido armónico mediante un convertidor aislado que alimenta un inversor de voltaje CD-CA de un controlador tradicional para un BLDCM; el convertidor propuesto opera en modo de conducción discontinuo.El diseño y rendimiento del controlador se validan experimentalmente en un prototipo, a fi n de cumplir con el estándar internacional IEC 61000-3-2.

In this paper ,a new approach is presented aim at improving the power factor of three phase bridge inverter that equip with permanent Magnet Brushless DC motor(PMBLDCM)drive through microcontroller. Power factor correction converter is used for feeding a three phase bridge inverter based PMBLDC motor drive. The front end of PFC converter is a diode bridge rectifier fed from a step down transformer. In this three phase bridge inverter is operated as electronic commutator of the PMBLDCM .Nearly sinusoidal input current is achieved using. The proposed PMBLDCM drive with PFC converter is designed to run the motor to desired speed. This scheme improves an efficiency of proposed drive system with PFC feature in wide range of the speed and an input AC voltage.


Power factor rectification converter (PFRC) hinged bridgeless modified CUK (MCUK) converter supplied to brushless DC engine drive utilizing an Artificial Neural Network controller. Presently, alteration for traditional CUK converter can be obtained through adding a voltage multiplier circuit, to decrease converter losses for wide variation of speed to accomplish most extreme Power Factor and to limit the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). The designed bridgeless PFRC based converter was investigated hypothetically to obtain the circumstances, for example, Power factor (PF) and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) are assessed and contrasted with traditional Diode Bridge Rectifier hinged CUK converter supplying to brushless DC motor drive and bridgeless altered CUK using PI controller driven brushless DC motor. Here, simulation results uncover that the ANN controllers are viable and productive contrasted with PI controller, as the steady state error when ANN control used is less and the stabilization of the system is better while using it. Additionally in ANN system, the time to perform calculation is less as there are no numerical models. The performance of the designed framework is simulated in MATLAB/Simulink environment.

Earlier for variable speed application conventional motors were used, but these motors have poor characteristics. These drawbacks were overcome by brushless Dc motor drive. Now days in most of the applications such as industrial, domestic, aerospace, defense, medical and traction etc, brushless DC motor (BLDCM) is popular for its high efficiency, high torque to weight ratio, small size, and high reliability, ease of control and low maintenance etc. BLDC motor is a electronic commutator driven drive i.e. it uses a three-phase voltage source inverter for its operation, electronic devices means there is a problem of poor power quality, more torque ripple and speed fluctuations. This paper deals with the CUK converter two leg inverter fed BLDCM drive in closed loop operation. The proposed control strategy on CUK converter two leg inverter fed BLDCM drive with split DC source is modeled and implemented using MATLAB / Simulink. The proposed method improves the efficiency of the drive system with Power factor correction feature in wide range of the speed control, less torque ripple and smooth speed control.
