The speed control of BLDCM is achieved by varying the DC bus voltage of the voltage source inverter (VSI) feeding BLDCM. The BLDCM is electronically commutated using a VSI operating at low frequency switching for reducing the switching losses in VSI. A canonical switching cell (CSC) converter is used for varying the DC bus voltage of VSI. This CSC converter is operated in discontinuous inductor current mode (DICM) for achieving a power factor correction (PFC) inherently without any sensing requirement. The rotor position sensors are eliminated by using sensorless control of BLDCM. Hence, a sensorless BLDCM drive is developed as a cost effective solution for low power applications. Its performance is evaluated on a developed prototype at various speeds with unity power factor (UPF) at AC mains.","PeriodicalId":206767,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 6th India International Conference on Power Electronics (IICPE)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121572556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Modes of operations are identified, and then steady-state analysis is presented for design purpose. In order to verify the zero-voltage switching, soft-switching, performance of this converter simulation is carried out in PSIM. To further test the advantage provided by this converter, over hard switched converters, a comparative analysis is carried out in simulation and experiment at various loading conditions. The converter performance is predetermined for a 24 to 48 V, 25 W prototype in simulation and then compared with experimental results. Experimental measurements are in close agreement with analytical predictions.","PeriodicalId":206767,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 6th India International Conference on Power Electronics (IICPE)","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126253881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Uncertain rivals' bidding behavior is modeled using normal distribution function, and the bidding strategy is formulated as a stochastic optimization problem. Monte Carlo method with a novel hybrid of Differential Evolution (DE) and Biogeography Based Optimization (BBO) (DE/BBO) is proposed as solution approach.
