This paper presents the analysis, design and implementation of cost effective sensorless control scheme of Brushless DC Motors (BLDCM). There are several methods proposed in BLDC motor drives to obtain optimum current and torque control with minimum torque pulsation. But while coming to industrial applications, BLDC motor voltage contains harmonics which are caused because of high speed switchi...

In a Universal DC motor, brushes control the commutation by physically connecting the coils at the correct moment. In BLDC motors the commutation is controlled by electronics. The electronics can either have position sensor inputs that provide information about when to commutate or use the Back Electromotive Force generated in the coils. Position sensors are most often used in applications wher...

A control actuation system has been used extensively in automotive, aerospace, and defense applications. The major challenges in modeling control actuation system are rise time, maximum peak to peak overshoot, and response to nonlinear system with percentage error. This paper addresses the challenges in modeling and real time implementation of control actuation system for missiles glider applic...

This paper presents a power factor corrected (PFC) bridgeless (BL) buck–boost converter-fed brushless direct current(BLDC) motor drive as a cost-effective solution for low-power applications. An approach of speed control of the BLDC motor by controlling the dc link voltage of the voltage source inverter (VSI) is used with a single voltage sensor. This facilitates the operation of VSI at fundame...

In this paper, the position-sensor less direct torque and indirect flux control of brushless dc (BLDC) motor with non sinusoidal back electromotive force (EMF) has been extensively investigated. In the literature, several methods have been proposed for BLDC motor drives to obtain optimum current and torque control with minimum torque pulsations. Most methods are complicated and do not consider ...

The three-phase permanent magnet brushless dc (BLDC) motor inherently needs an electronic commutation circuit to drive it because it is not a self-commutating motor. It is contrary to the conventional brush motor which commutates itself. This paper presents a comparison study of three widely used different commutation methods in terms of the complexity of the commutation circuit, torque ripple,...

Simulation, design and prototype construction of a low cost three phase permanent magnet (PM) brushless DC (BLDC) motor controller for low power applications is studied in this paper. The drive circuitry is based on the PIC16F877A microcontroller (μC), which –among othersperforms pulse width modulation (PWM) control for a 6-step, 120-degree trapezoidal PM BLDC motor drive. The specific processo...

In this paper a new bridgeless isolated power factor correction (PFC)-based Cuk converter-fed brushless dc (BLDC) motor drive is introduced for power factor correction and reduction in total harmonic distortion of input current. Dc link voltage of the voltage source inverter (VSI) feeding the BLDC motor is varied for speed control. This allows the operation of VSI in fundamental frequency switc...
