Abstract

Due to overall performance regarding high power density and simple control, Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are broadly used in speed drive applications. The torque of BLDC motors is steady under ideal conditions. With the advent of BLDC motors, high speed automobile industry is booming day by day. Here, a converter topology is proposed for four quadrant operation of BLDC drive. The motion operation is carried out by conventional emf injection method; while the braking operation is conceded by regenerative braking. The present work focuses on multi quadrant operation and tuning the performance of BLDC drive. The simulation studies with regenerative braking mechanisms employing BLDC drive shows better adaptability to the electric hybrid vehicles. The MATLAB SIMULINK simulation results show the performance of the proposed methodology. The corresponding prototype modeling is also presented here with electric hybrid vehicle.
