2 2 M. Arun Noyl Doss, V. Klynsundrm, V. Gnpthy nd K. Krthik Brushless dc (BLDC) motor is type of permnent mgnet synchronous motor which is widely used nowdys due to the dvntges like high power density, high efficiency, low mintennce requirement, nd their tolernce to electromgnetic interference (EMI) problems. These motors cn be operted t wide rnge of speed. Fig.1 shows the conventionl BLDC drive topology. (Figure.1) Figure 1: Conventionl BLDC drive topology The min difference between BLDC motor nd permnent mgnet synchronous motor is tht BLDC motor hve trpezoidl bck emf. Unlike synchronous motors BLDC motors re self strting in nture nd speed cn be vried smoothly. The BLDC motor hs torque speed chrcteristics similr to DC motor. BLDC motor looks similr to tht of DC motor. In DC motors, the sttor my contin permnent mgnet if it is Permnent Mgnet dc (PMDC) motor. The rotor will hve windings nd windings will get excited using commuttor nd brushes rrngement. On the other hnd the BLDC motor will hve windings in the sttor nd the permnent mgnets re present in the rotor. The term brushless is mentioned becuse here the brushes nd current crrying coils re replced by permnent mgnets nd the permnent mgnets perform the rottor opertion. Trditionlly Ferrite mgnets re used for mking permnent mgnets in rotor nd nowdys rre erth mgnets re gining populrity becuse of their high mgnetic field density per volume. Normlly BLDC motors re not directly connected to three phse AC supply system. The phse windings of the BLDC motor re energized using three phse inverter. Since BLDC motors re inverter driven the speed of the motor is controlled by vrying the DC link cpcitor voltge on the source side of the inverter or by vrying the pulse width of the inverter switching pulses. But the speed cnnot be controlled over wide rnge using PWM technique. Further the inverter switches re subjected to lrge voltge stress which will decrese the life time of power electronic components. Prior reserches hve been mde in estblishing speed control nd toque control for BLDC motor. Anlysis on brushless mchines nd their pplictions hve been stted in 1.

An pproch to torque ripple reduction using direct torque control is explined in [8]. But the speed nd torque control pproch bsed on direct torque control pproch mentioned o in 6,7,8 requires complicted control lgorithms nd thus incresed the cost nd size of the system.

3 A cost effective speed control method for BLDC Motor Drive The method to minimize cogging torque by reducing the sttor tooth width is presented in 11. In this pper the cogging torque is minimized using bifurcted sttor teeth nd the modifiction of sttor teeth is mde using finite element nlysis. In 12 mthemticl model of BLDC motor hs been proposed to minimize cogging torque, hrmonics nd torque ripples. 13 explins speed control model for BLDC motor designed nd nlyzed using PSIM. A comprtive nlysis on vrious controllers used to improve the trnsient response in speed nd torque ripple minimiztion in BLDC motor. 15,16,17 explins the bsic principle of BLDC motor, operting principle of vrious power electronic converters nd drive systems. This pper proposes PI controller bsed pproch for controlling the switching pulses of the inverter nd thereby controlling the speed of the motor. The prmeters considered for nlyzing the BLDC motor is mentioned in tble.1 Tble 1 Specifictions of BLDC motor Prmeters Connection type Rted Current Rted Voltge Rted Speed Vlue Str 4.52 A 310 Vdc 4600 rpm Electromechnicl torque 2.2 Nm To employ cost effective speed control mechnism PI controller is used. In the PI controller two control strtegies re implemented nmely, proportionl control nd the integrl control. The proportionl control produces n error signl tht is proportionl to the current error vlue. The vlue of the error cn be djusted by multiplying with the proportionl gin vlue (k p ). The integrl control produces n error vlue which is proportionl to the mgnitude of the error nd durtion of the error. The vlue of the corresponding error cn be djusted by multiplying with the integrl gin vlue (k i ). The theoreticl nlysis is performed by considering the prmeters mentioned in Tble MATHEMATICAL MODELLING OF BLDC MOTOR The voltge eqution of the BLDC motor is given s, di dib dic V = ir + L + Mb + Mc + e (1) dt dt dt dib di dic V b = ibrb+ Lb + Mb + Mbc + eb (2) dt dt dt dic di dib V c = icrc + Lc + Mc + Mcb + ec (3) dt dt dt Here e, e b, e c re the bck emf of BLDC motor.1 The mthemticl model of BLDC motor cn be expressed in mtrix form s, é L M M ù é b c i ù é V ù ér 0 0 ùé i ù é e ù d úê Mb Lb M bc i b dt = V b - 0 Rb 0 úêi b - e úê b (4) êmc Mcb L ú ê c i ú ê ë û ë c û V ú ê c 0 0 R úê c i ú ê c e ú ë û ë ûë û ë cû Where L, L b nd L re self inductnce nd M, M, M, M, M nd M c re mutul inductnce. b b bc cb c c For simplifiction ll self inductnce re ssumed s Lnd ll mutul inductnce re ssumed s M.

PROPOSED PI CONTROLLER BASED SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM The proposed drive system hs three phse inverter driven BLDC motor powered by Single phse AC supply connected to single phse bridge rectifier. The speed of the BLDC motor is sensed using rotor position sensor nd the using comprtor the mesured speed is compred with reference speed. The error signl is given s input to the PI controller by compring ctul speed nd reference speed. The output of PI controller is fed s input to current limiter nd this signl will be considered s the reference current signl. This reference current signl is compred with ctul current signl which is obtined from line current feedbck. A current sensor is used to mesure the line current. The output of the P controller is compred with tringulr wve nd by vrying the duty cycle corresponding switching pulse is given to the inverter. Fig. 2 shows the schemtic lyout of the proposed closed loop speed control system.

5 5. PI CONTROLLER DESIGN A cost effective speed control method for BLDC Motor Drive 5 PI controller is the most widely used feedbck control system in industries. Bsiclly the control method hs two feedbck components nmely proportionl gin (k p ) nd integrl gin (k i ). The PI tuning method is performed for the speed control nd corresponding prmeters re obtined. Since the mthemticl model of the system is complicted the control prmeters re tuned using Ziegler-Nichols method. The controller prmeters re obtined from the output response using the following response grph. (Figure 3) ct () Tngent line t infection point K 0 t L T Figure 3: Ziegler-Nichols rules for tuning P, PI nd PID controller The response of the system is obtined nd the point of infltion is noted. A tngent line is drwn on the point nd the vlues of L nd T re clculted. The vlue of K is tken from the point when the system reches stble condition. Tble.2 shows the formuls for clculting K p, K i nd K d for P, PI nd PID controller. The PI controller bsiclly works in two modes nmely the proportionl mode nd the integrl mode. The proportionl mode controls the instnt speed error nd the integrl mode determines the rection bsed on the recent error. The output of the PI controller is given by, Output(t) = t ket p ()+ kiò e() d (10) Where e(t) is the error signl. The error signl e(t) Is clculted by, e(t) = ref m (t) (11) Where is the reference speed nd ref (t) is the mesured speed. m Tble 2 Result of PI tuning method 0 Type of Controller k p k i k d P T/L 0 PI 0.9T/L L/0.3 0 PID 1.2T/L 2L 0.5L

(Figure.9) 9 Figure 9: Hrdwre Prototype of the proposed topology The performnce of the BLDC motor ws smooth nd the motor ws operted t 1508 rpm. Figure.10 shows the speed of the BLDC motor. (Figure.10) 7. CONCLUSION Figure 10: Speed of the BLDC motor t 1508 rpm This pper hs proposed cost effective speed control method for BLDC motor drive using PI controller. The motor is operted in wide rnge of speed. The results obtined from mtlb/simulink simultion hve proved the effectiveness of the implementtion of PI controller. But even though PI controller finds good ppliction in industril drives speed control is less ccurte. Becuse during strting oscilltions occur in speed which dmps out in time. PI controller holds good only for liner systems nd smll vritions in speed cn be observed. The effectiveness of the proposed topology cn be further improved by using neurl-fuzzy logic technique. 8.
