One Cycle Control of Ćuk converter for BLDC motor speed regulation

This paper presents a design and simulation of a controller circuit for Power Factor Correction applied to BLDC Motor Control. To achieve accurate and dynamic performance from a BLDC motor, it is usually fed from a Voltage Source Inverter (VSI). Such drives have to deal with problems in power quality and poor power factor at AC mains input as they include a diode bridge rectifier. To overcome such problems and provide faster dynamic performance a power factor correction One Cycle Controlled Ćuk converter is proposed to feed the Voltage Source Inverter based BLDC motors. The Ćuk PFC converter inherits many advantages like low output current and voltage ripple, near unity power factor with simple control. The One Cycle technique provides excellent power source disturbance rejection, fast dynamic response, automatic switching error correction and robust performance.
