ANALYSIS OF VARIABLE SPEED PFC CHOPPER FED BLDC MOTOR DRIVE

ABSTRACT This paper provides the detailed analysis of the DC-DC chopper fed Brushless DC motor drive used for lowpower applications. The various methods used to improve the power quality at the ac mains with lesser number of components are discussed. The most effective method of power quality improvement is also simulated using MATLAB Simulink. Improved method of speed control by controlling the dc link voltage of Voltage Source Inverter is also discussed with reduced switching losses. The continuous and discontinuous modes of operation of the converters are also discussed based on the improvement in power quality. The performance of the most effective solution is simulated in MATLAB Simulink environment and the obtained results are presented

Modelling and Simulation of Variable Frequency Synchronous DC-DC Buck Converter

In this paper, novel small-signal averaged models for dc–dc converter operating at variable switching frequency are derived. This is achieved by separately considering the on-time and the off-time of the switching period. The derivation is shown in detail for a synchronous buck converter. The Enhanced Small Signal (ESSA) Model is derived for the synchronous buck converter. The equivalent series inductance (ESL) is also considered in this modelling. The buck converter model is also simulated in MATLAB and the result is also presented.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v5i2.647
