    A Unity Power Factor Bridgeless Isolated

    Cuk Converter-Fed Brushless DC Motor


    Drive

    Abstract
    Introduction:
    A BLDC motor consists of three-phase concentrated
    windings on the stator and permanent magnets on the rotor. A
    three-phase voltage-source inverter (VSI) is used for achieving
    an electronic commutation of the BLDC motor based on the
    rotor position as sensed by Hall-effect position sensors. A VSI-
    fed BLDC motor drive is generally supplied by a combination of
    a diode bridge rectifier (DBR) with a high value of smoothening
    dc link capacitor. This combination of DBR and dc link
    capacitor draws current only for a small duration when the
    instantaneous value of supply voltage is higher than the dc link
    voltage. Therefore, a peaky current is drawn from the ac mains,
    which has very high value of harmonic contents. The total
    harmonic distortion (THD) of such current is of the order of
    60%–80% which leads to a very poor power factor (PF) of the
    order of 0.6–0.7 at ac mains.

    Existing system:
    The boost converter charges a bulk energy storage
    capacitor to a voltage higher than the peak line voltage. Finally a
    voltage-fed, step-down inverter is used to drive the brushless DC
    motor. These capacitors are typically electrolytic and are
    physically large, expensive and failure prone, limiting the
    lifetime of the drive. Under certain conditions efficiency may be
    improved by the elimination of the boost stage.

    Proposed system:
    A single-phase supply followed by an LC filter is used to
    feed a bridgeless isolated Cuk converter. This maintains the
    required dc link voltage of the VSI and provides PFC at ac
    mains. The proposed PFC converter is designed to operate in
    DICM to act as an inherent power factor corrector. The dc link
    voltage of the VSI is controlled for adjusting the speed of the
    BLDC motor. The VSI feeding the BLDC motor is operated in a
    low frequency switching to achieve an electronic commutation
    of the BLDC motor for reduced switching losses. The proposed
    configuration uses a single voltage sensor to control the dc link
    voltage for the speed control of the BLDC motor.
    Advantages:
     Reduced the switching losses.
     Reducing the conduction losses in the front-end converter.
    Applications:
     Household appliances.
     Industrial tools.
     Medical equipment.
     Precise motion control.
     Automation and transportation.
