Comparative Study of Torque Ripple Minimization of PMSM using PI and Proportional Resonant (PI-RES) Controller
Abstract: The minimization of speed ripple of the permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) in low speed range becomes a major problem while applying the PMSM to refrigerant system. Earlier, an iterative learning controller was applied in conjunction with the conventional proportional integral (PI) speed controller to minimize the speed ripple. Here, a frequency variable resonance controller is applied in conjunction with the conventional proportional integral speed controller as a PI-RES controller, …

Fault Tolerant Inverter for BLDC Drives
Abstract: In this study, fault tolerant inverter for BLDC drives is used for aerospace application. In such application, the human intervention is limited. So, the fault tolerant control of BLDC motor is of great importance for its continuous operating capacity even under the faulty situation. Over voltage and over current phenomenon occur in system due to switching faults, so a fault isolation and system reconfiguration method is presented. This method can …

High Gain High Efficiency Single Switch DC–DC Converter for Green Power Source Conversion
Abstract: Efficiency of solar cell is very low and it is preferred to be operated at low voltages; so it is difficult to supply power to a certain load. Conventional boost converter offers limited gain. So a high voltage boosting is needed. Proposed converter consists of coupled inductor and switched capacitor technique to achieve high gain without high duty ratio and turns ratio. In the magnetic field of coupled inductor and …

A Novel Approach of Sensorless Control of BLDC Motor with Z-Source Inverter
Abstract: Brushless dc motors are getting more attention in many areas owing to its compactness, maintenance, high efficiency and low cost. Precise detection of rotor position is essential to achieve high efficiency. Back EMF method is one of the most popular control methods for sensorless brushless dc motor. But this method is not suitable for high-speed operation, for the pulse width of zero-vector may be very short. This paper proposes an …
