BLDC Motor Speed Control using BOOST Converter
Abstract:
This project is mainly used to control the speed of the BLDC motor by employing a boost converter. The Boost converter is used to step up the input dc voltage. The boost converter output voltage depends on the duty cycle of the converter. The BLDC motor has high reliability, high-efficiency high torque/inertia ratio, improved cooling, low radio frequency interference, and noise and requires practically no maintenance.
Introduction:
The boost converter exhibits the advantages over the conventional buck, boost, buck-boost, and Cuk converter when employed in SPV-based applications. The boost converter dc voltage is applied to a three-phase inverter circuit. The three-phase inverter converts the dc voltage into three-phase ac voltage. The boost converter operates to increase the output voltage.
Proposed System:
This project is proposed to control the speed of the BLDC motor by employing a boost converter. The AC supply is applied to the bridge rectifier, the bridge rectifier converts ac supply into a dc supply. That dc supply is applied to boost the converter to boost the input voltage (i.e.) if input 15v dc means boost converter output voltage is greater than 15v dc voltage. That dc voltage is given to the three-phase inverter; it converts the dc voltage into three-phase ac voltage. The three-phase ac voltage is connected to the BLDC motor. The BLDC motor has a hall sensor. The hall sensor output is feedback to the controller. The three-phase inverter Pulse depends on the hall sensor of the BLDC motor. The DSPIC controller key functions are used to control the BLDC motor speed.
