Design and validation of a control for a BLDC motor to be applied on a solar water pump

Abstract

This paper presents the design and implementation of a speed control for BLDC motors; This is considered a high-capacity actuator mainly because of its operation, power, and control characteristics. BLDC motors require digital tools for good practices in position and speed control; as well as the power electronics for optimal performance. In order to take better advantage of the characteristics in this type of motor, a control strategy is presented that allows integrating the internet of things, to monitor and satisfy the needs when applied to a BLDC motor, which will also allow driving a submersible pump. Based on these characteristics, it will be possible to have a greater range of operation of the same, consequently, a better regulation of the speed, so that the desired water flow can be provided in the application of solar pumping systems. The results obtained validate the control designed for speed regulation in the system.
