ABSTRACT

Torque ripple compensation technique for a brushless dc (BLDC) motor drive that is operated without a DC link capacitor. The motor drive, which uses a single-switch control strategy, resembles that of a buck converter during operation at any switching state.

Theoretical behavior of the BLDC motor drive is compared with MATLAB/Simulink-based simulations to demonstrate the validity of the compensation technique and the analysis.

Experimental results of a 250 W prototype motor drive are also presented to further validate the theoretical analysis.

CONCLUSION

With the proposed technique for compensating torque ripples, comparable performance to a conventional BLDC motor drive with a large DC link capacitor can be achieved.

However, with the torque ripple compensation technique, the overall complexity of the motor drive has been increased, which is a major disadvantage.

The good agreement between the theoretical results, simulated results, and experimental results demonstrate the accuracy of the simple buck model and the effectiveness of the proposed compensation technique.
