Abstract: 

In this paper, speed control, torque ripple minimization and power factor correction of a bridge-less canonical switching cell and H-bridge inverter with space vector PWM fed permanent magnet brushless DC motor drive system with varying load is discussed. The constant speed of operation with minimum torque ripples and unity power factor operation during transient state is the most difficult control part in the motor drive system. At the starting condition, the current is too high due to the absence of back EMF and therefore the motor will start with high torque ripples. In order to eliminate these torque ripples during starting condition by limiting the starting current of the motor, it is necessary to have properly designed bridge-less canonical switching cell converter, H-bridge inverter and the intelligent controller, which will improve the power factor of the AC supply system and reliability of the PMBLDC motor drive. The performance parameters of a PMBLDC motor drive with this inverter and controller are analyzed through MATLAB/ Simulink and the real-time implementation is validated with 42BLF01 PMBLDC motor drive system.
