Analysis of PFC cuk and PFC sepic converter based intelligent controller fed BLDC motor drive

This paper deals with a highly reliable electrical drive utilizing the Brushless DC Motor (BLDC). The motor is fed by Voltage source Inverter (VSI) with a dc-dc converter power factor correction circuit (PFC) as the VSI's predecessor. The Performance of two dc-dc converters (cuk and sepic as PFC) are analyzed and the results are discussed to arrive at the best suited converter. Fuzzy Logic Controller is used as the Intelligent Controller for the BLDC motor. Reliable, low cost arrangement is thus provided to achieve unity power factor and speed regulation with accuracy. The drive has been simulated using the MATLAB/Simulink environment and the performance has been studied.
