Abstract





This research introduces a BLDC motor drive system that relies on a multi-input Z-source inverter for use in cold storage applications. The designed multi-input inverter is capable of transmitting power from all input sources, either individually or simultaneously, to the load. This enables the integration of the three-phase utility power supply with a solar array as input sources for the load. The system incorporates a Z-source inverter based on multi-input technology, featuring a unique impedance circuit connecting the main circuit to the power source. This configuration offers distinctive advantages not achievable with conventional voltage-source or current-source inverters.


The BLDC motor is chosen over the induction motor due to its numerous advantages, leading to its widespread replacement of induction motors in modern applications. Simulation results are provided to validate the theoretical concepts.
