A single sensor based PFC Zeta converter Fed BLDC motor drive for fan applications

Abstract-

A novel PFC (Power Factor Corrected) Converter using Zeta DC-DC converter feeding a BLDC (Brush Less DC) motor drive using a single voltage sensor is proposed for fan applications. A single phase supply followed by an uncontrolled bridge rectifier and a Zeta DC-DC converter is used to control the voltage of a DC link capacitor which is lying between the Zeta converter and a VSI (Voltage Source Inverter). Voltage of a DC link capacitor of Zeta converter is controlled to achieve the speed control of BLDC motor. The Zeta converter is working as a front end converter operating in DICM (Discontinuous Inductor Current Mode) and thus using a voltage follower approach. The DC link capacitor of the Zeta converter is followed by a VSI which is feeding a BLDC motor. A sensorless control of BLDC motor is used to eliminate the requirement of Hall Effect position sensors. A MATLAB/Simulink environment is used to simulate the developed model to achieve a wide range of speed control with high PF (power Factor) and improved PQ (Power Quality) at the supply.
