Introduction
 The aim of the project is to control the speed of a BLDC motor using a
microcontroller with the help of SVPWM-technique. A brushless DC
(BLDC) motor drive is characterized by higher efficiency, lower
maintenance, and higher cost. Therefore, it is necessary to have a low-
cost but effective BLDC motor controller. Based on the principle of
PWM, speed of the motor can be controlled.

BLDC
Motor
 The BLDC motor is an AC synchronous motor with permanent
magnets on the rotor (moving part) and windings on the stator (fix
part).
 Permanent magnets create the rotor flux and the energized stator
windings create electromagnet poles.
 The rotor is attracted by the energized stator phase.

 By using the appropriate sequence to supply the stator phases, a
rotating field on the stator is created and maintained.
 The lead between the rotor and the rotating field must be controlled
to produce torque and this synchronization implies knowledge of the
rotor position.

 Instead of using an inverter and a regulator we have used a motor driver
HW30A which acts as inverter to supply the voltage for the Motor.
 HW30A is an inbuilt Inverter which is having Inverter circuit as well as
MOSFET Driver circuit.
 We are using this type of technique because of on using general
inverter.

 We are facing the difficulties like large Heat dissipation, so that this
heat would cause a heat sinking problem which in turn results in
the failure of the Inverter.
 By using this motor driver the circuit complexity is reduced and the
heat dissipation problem, is also reduced.

Working
 The basic construction of a brushless dc consists of a fan blade attached
to a permanent magnet rotor that surrounds the electromagnetic coils
of the stator and associated control electronics.
 A typical biphase brushless fan motor is made from a permanent
magnet rotor assembly that surrounds four electromagnetic coils.
 The coils work in pairs, with coils A and C forming one phase
and coils B and D the other phase.

 A Halleffect sensor monitors rotor position, providing feedback to the
embedded MCU for commutation, speed regulation, and fault detection.
 Commutation between the two phase windings in the dc fan takes place
electronically by alternately applying power to L1 and L2.
 Dead zones between the power pulses limit current for speed control
and helps minimize a cogging effect when the rotor magnets align with
the stator coils.
 The on and off power of the commutation period resembles the output
from a pulse width modulator.
Working Principle

 The MCU uses a PWM to control the period of the motor drivers and,
thus set fan speed.
 Feedback from the Hall sensor monitors actual fan rpm and indicate
when communication should take place.
 The MCU continuously monitors motor speed by measuring the output
period of the Hall effect sensor.
 A period that run shorter than the target length indicates motor speed
is too fast.

Speed Control Of BLDC Motor
 Pulse width modulation is a commonly used technique for controlling
power to an electrical device.
 The PWM switching frequency has to be much faster than what would
affect the load.
 Typically switching’s have to be done several times a minute in an
electric stove, 120 Hz in a lamp dimmer, from few kilohertz (kHz) to
tens of kHz for a motor drive and well into the tens or hundreds of kHz
in audio amplifiers and computer power supplies

 The term duty cycle describes the proportion of on time to the regular
interval or period of time.
 A low duty cycle corresponds to low power, because the power is off for
most of the time.
 Duty cycle is expressed in percent, 100% being fully on.
 The main advantage of PWM is that power loss in the switching devices
is very low.

 When a switch is off there is practically no current and when it is on,
there is almost no voltage drop across the switch.
 Power loss, being the product of voltage and current, is thus in both
cases close to zero.
 The desired speed can be obtained by changing the duty cycle.
 The PWM in microcontroller is used to control the duty cycle of DC
motor.

SIMULATION RESULTS FOR VARIOUS PWM
PULSES
 The speed control technique employed here is pulse width modulation
(PWM) technique.
 The duty cycle determines the speed of the motor
Average voltage = D * Vin
 The average voltage obtained for various duty cycles is also mentioned
and as the duty cycle percentage decreases average voltage also
decreases from the supply voltage.

 Duty cycle is defined as the percentage of time the motor is ON.
 Therefore, the duty cycle is given as
Duty Cycle = 100% x Pulse Width/Period
Where,
Duty Cycle in (%)
Pulse Width = Time the signal is in the ON or high
state(sec)
Period = Time of one cycle (sec).
