Abstract

In view of the current motor drive system for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), the rotation speed response is slow, the reliability is not high, and it is difficult to achieve high power output in a small size. A miniaturized position sensorless brushless DC motor (BLDCM) drive system based on speed feedforward control is designed. The three-phase inverter circuit and PCB design have been improved to increase the current carrying capacity without expanding the size. By way of a double plate structure and temperature monitoring protection combination, to improve system reliability. And for the special case where the load is the propeller in the UAV application, the corresponding feedforward adjustment is added to improve the rotation speed response speed. After ground fixation test and installation flight verification, the system operates stably and meets the design requirements.
