Control of BLDC motor air cooler for low voltage dc house

Abstract

Recent power sector targets on cleaner and sustainable generation and distribution system. This can be done by improving DC based applications for low voltage DC residential homes. During summer air cooling systems are very much useful in reducing the room temperature. Brushless-DC (BLDC) motors are best suited these days as electric motors of fans and air cooling systems with very low power utilization and many other reasons like lesser maintenance, compact and huge gain of torque to volume ratio etc., the control of BLDC motor classified mainly of two types sensor scheme and sensor-less schemes. This paper presents simulation and analysis of two control schemes for BLDC motor drive for air cooling system. The BLDC drive system was developed in MATLAB for both sensor and sensor-less schemes and simulated for different loading conditions.
