Abstract [English]

This paper presents a comparative study on the speed control of a Permanent Magnet Brushless DC Motor (PMBLDCM) using a Bridgeless Single-Ended Primary Inductor Converter (BL-SEPIC). The BL-SEPIC converter combines the functionalities of a buck converter followed by a buck-boost converter. The proposed configuration integrates Power Factor Correction (PFC) and DC link voltage regulation into a single stage, improving the PMBLDC motor's speed control. By adjusting the DC link voltage proportionally to the required motor speed, the system achieves enhanced efficiency and performance.


 


A current multiplier technique is employed to achieve near-unity power factor, while a PFC controller operating in Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) ensures system stability. Additionally, a rate limiter is implemented for torque and current control at the DC link, reducing conduction losses. The study evaluates the converters' voltage regulation capabilities, efficiency, ripple performance, and suitability for various power electronic applications.


 


Simulation results obtained from MATLAB/Simulink demonstrate the effectiveness of the BL-SEPIC converter in PMBLDC motor drive applications. The findings indicate that the BL-SEPIC converter offers superior speed control compared to other topologies. The proposed schemes are designed and validated through detailed simulations, confirming their ability to achieve high efficiency and improved motor performance.
