Using either a Buck-Boost or a Fly-back Converter, design a circuit to control the speed of a DC Motor by supplying a voltage in the range from 30V to 60 V to the DC Motor.

Electronic design and analysis skills

This assignment is designed to enhance, and allow you to demonstrate, your power electronic design and analysis skills. Using either a Buck-Boost or a Fly-back Converter, student will be required to design a circuit to control the speed of a DC Motor by supplying a voltage in the range from 30V to 60 V to the DC Motor. The input to the converter is supplied from a 50V DC power supply. The power rating of the Motor is 1.5 kW. Students will need to design the converter, produce the mathematical calculations to justify their design, and then choose commercially available components to meet that design. The code to activate the switching device of the converter is to be written in pseudo code. Students will be required to simulate their design using the PLECS electronic software simulation package.
