Design and Analysis of Boost, Interleaved Boost and Hybrid Boost Converters for PMSM Drive with Closed-Loop Speed Control

Abstract

Cutting-edge technology in power engineering led to the development of power electronic converter fed motors. Motors are developed employing rare earth materials called permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) which are driven from power electronic converter. Photo-voltaic (PV) system is the source feeding the converter for PMSM drive in this paper. PV output voltage is gained using a voltage booster circuit. This paper explains the design and analysis of conventional boost converter; interleaved boost converter and Hybrid boost converter voltage booster circuits to drive PMSM. PMSM drive is operated in closed-loop mode and controlled with PI controller. PV fed Closed-loop PMSM drive with boost converter; interleaved boost converter and Hybrid boost converter are validated with fixed and variable speed conditions. Simulation models are developed and results are presented using MATLAB/SIMULINK software.
