Dhanasekaran 1 Researh Sholar, E.E.E Department, SathyaamaUniveristy, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India 2 Syed Ammal Engineering College, Ramanathapuram, Tamilnadu, India Astrat: Permanent Magnet Brushless DC Motor (PMBLDC) is one of the est eletrial drives that has inreasing popularity, due to their high effiieny, reliaility, good dynami response and very low maintenane. This makes the interest of modeling an ideal PMBLDC motor and it s assoiated Drive System in simple and luid manner. In this paper the drive system is proposed with a uk onverter topology. It has the advantages of redued swithing losses, low indutor power loss, redued ripple y using a pi-filter, whih in turn makes the DC link voltage to e stale. The modeling and simulation of the PMBLDC motor is done using the software pakage MATLAB/SIMULINK. The operation priniple of the uk onverter is analyzed and the simulation results are presented in this paper to verify the theoretial analysis. Key words: Converter, drive, filters, Permanent Magnet Brushless DC Motor (PMBLDC) INTRODUCTION Permanent magnet rushless DC (BLDC) motor is inreasingly used in automotive, industrial, and household produts eause of its high effiieny, high torque, ease of ontrol, and lower maintenane (Krishnan, 2003; Krishnan and Shiyoung, 1997). A BLDC motor is designed to utilize the trapezoidal ak EMF with square wave urrents to generate the onstant torque. A onventional BLDC motor drive is generally implemented via a six-swith, three phase inverter (Rahul et al., 2003) and three Hall-effet position sensors that provide six ommutation points for eah eletrial yle. Cost minimization is the key fator in an espeially frational horse-power BLDC motor drive for Home appliations. It is usually ahieved y elimination of the drive omponents suh as power swithes and sensors. Therefore effetive algorithms should e designed for the desired performane and the relevant drive system whih in turn ontrols the motor for all its defined appliations with high effiieny, as well as good in maintaining the speed for variale torque. The mathematial modeling of DC to DC onverter is given y (Luo, and Ye, 2005; Muo, 2004). The ojetive of the preset work is to model and simulate uk onverter fed PMBLDC drive. PMBLDC motor: The rushless DC motor is atually a permanent magnet AC motor whose torque-urrent harateristis mimi the DC motor. Instead of ommutating the armature urrent using rushes, eletroni ommutation is used. Having the armature on the stator makes it easy to ondut heat away from the windings, and if desired, having ooling arrangement for the armature windings is muh easier as ompared to a DC motor. A BLDC is a modified PMSM with the modifiation eing that the ak-emf is trapezoidal instead of eing sinusoidal as in the ase of PMSM (Luk and Lee, 1994). The position of the rotor an e sensed y hall effet position sensors, namely Hall_A, Hall_B, and Hall_C, eah having a lag of 120º w.r.t the earlier one. Three Hall position sensors are used to determine the position of the rotor field. Model of a BLDC motor Sine a BLDC motor is easy to ontrol, it is the motor of hoie in many appliations requiring preise ontrol of speed (AtefSalehOthman and Al-Mashakeh, 2009), (Byoung- KukLee et al., 2001). The BLDC motor model is explained as, the eletromagneti torque, T em is linearly proportional to the armature urrent i a. i.e., T em = K T i a, where K T is the torque onstant. The ak-emf in a BLDC motor is linearly proportional to the rotational speed of the shaft. The akemf is proportional to the speed of the motor and its diretion is given y Flemings right hand rule. Considering that in a magneti field of intensity B, a ondutor of length l on the edge of rotor of radius r is rotating at an angular veloity of radians per seond. Then the speed of the ondutor is given y: vel = T x r Corresponding Author: S. Prakash, Researh Sholar, E.E.E Department, SathyaamaUniveristy, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India 284

Tehnol., 3(4): 284-289, 2011 The emf e generated in that ondutor is given y: e = T rbl Conventionally the numer of ondutors in an eletrial mahine is given y Z, and if the numer of ondutors in series is Z/2, the series ak-emf is given y e as: e = T m rbl (Z/2) In terms of the magneti flux: e = K e T m where, K E is the ak emf onstant. The model of a BLDC onsisting of three phases is explained y means of equations, sine there is no neutral used, the sum of the three phase urrents must add upto zero, i.e., i a +i +i = 0 i a +i = - i Considering all the three phases following equations are used to model the two pole three phase BLDC motor. va Ra 0 0 ia v R i = 0 0 + v 0 0 R i La La La ia ea d L L L i e dt a + La L L i e If the permanent magnet induing the rotor field ios in the shape of an ar, it requires that the indutanes e independent of the rotor position, hene: L a = L = L = L p Considering the symmetry of the aove matrix in addition to independene w.r.t the rotor position: L a = L a = L = L = L a = L a = M Aove equation redues to: v v v Ra 0 0 ia R i = 0 0 + 0 0 R i Lp M M ia ea d M Lp M i e dt + M M Lp i e a From aove two equations we get: v v v Ra 0 0 ia R i = 0 0 + 0 0 R i Lp M 0 0 0 Lp M 0 0 0 Lp M a d dt i i i ea e e Rearranging the equations, we have otained equations in a form suitale for simulation.
