Description
Summary:This paper displays a hardware prototype in order to correct the power factor of Brushless Direct Current motor drive by making use of the Cuk converter with Particle Swarm Optimization controller. For less power and very low cost application this drive can be used. The speed of Brushless Direct Current motor was controlled by differing the DC bus voltage in Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) for least switching losses. The Cuk converter run with both continuous conduction method and discontinuous conduction method even so the diode bridge rectifier was at the back of it for varying the direct current link voltage. This enhance the power factor at AC mains of the system circuit. The PSO controller was used for getting the several best values of measurements by compare and contrast process. The system was simulated by using MATLAB/Simulink software and the hardware prototype model developed gives better performance for various values of speed accompanied with good power factor at AC mains of the system circuit.
