This dissertation work proposes a solar
powered boost converter fed Brushless DC (BLDC)
drive system for controlling speed at different variation
of load using the fuzzy tuned PID controller. The Boost
converter used for Maximum Power Point Tracking
(MPPT) is chose because of the advantages of continuous
and low ripple in the output current. The Boost
converter is controlled by Perturbing and Observing
Maximum Power Point Tracking (P & O-MPPT)
algorithm results in soft starting of the BLDC motor. A
fundamental switching frequency of the Voltage Source
Inverter (VSI) is accomplished with the electronic
commutation of the BLDC motor, thereby eliminating
the VSI losses caused owing to the high frequency
switching. The proposed drive is designed for various
application considering the dynamic operating
conditions. For a constant speed control of BLDC motor
a PID tuned fuzzy controller is used with torque and
phase current as load changing parameters. The desired
speed is achieved by the proper tuning of gains of PID
controller using fuzzy controller.
