A Solar Photovoltaic Array and Grid Source-Fed Brushless DC Motor Drive for Water-Pumping Applications

Experimental Investigations on a Permanent Magnet Brushless Dc Motor Fed by Pv Array for Water Pumping System

This paper describes the experimental study carried out on a Permanent Magnet Brushless DC (PMBLDC) Motor drive coupled to a pump load powered by photovoltaic (PV) array I for water pumping system. A simple low cost prototype controller has been designed and developed without current and position sensors which reduces drastically the overall cost of the drive system. This controller is used to ...

Experimental Results of Photovoltaic Powered Induction Motor Drive for Pumping

A pumping system powered from Photovoltaic array is modeled and simulated using Matlab Simulink. Detailed evaluation of energy processing in Photovoltaic pumping system is presented. A low voltage DC is stepped by using DC to DC Push -Pull converter. DC output from the PV Cell is converted into high frequency AC using a Push Pull Inverter. This is stepped up to 200v using a high frequency steps...

Implementation of a Novel Brushless DC Motor Drive based on One-Cycle Control Strategy

In this paper, one-cycle control (OCC), as a constant-frequency PWM control strategy for current control of a six-switch brushless dc (BLDC) motor drive is investigated. Developed current regulator is a unified controller and PWM modulator. Employing the one-cycle control strategy, decreases the torque ripple resulted from the conventional hysteresis current controllers and therefore, the vibra...

Matrix Converter Fed Brushless DC Motor Using Field Programmable Gate Array

Brushless DC motors (BLDC) are widely used in industrial areas. The BLDC motors are driven either by indirect ACAC converters or by direct AC-AC converters. Direct AC-AC converters i.e. matrix converters are used in this paper to drive the three phase BLDC motor and it eliminates the bulky DC link energy storage element. A matrix converter converts the AC power supply to an AC voltage of variab...
