Brushless DC electric motors require effective intelligent controllers to unlock their operational potential and reduce power losses in electric drive systems. To enhance power factor and decrease loss, a Landsman converter is employed in a bridgeless configuration alongside different intelligent controllers. The performance of both the Landsman converter and a canonical switching cell converter is evaluated across multiple stages and configurations. Numerical simulations conducted in MATLAB provide comparative performance data to identify the most suitable intelligent controller for the motor drive system. Beyond simulation modelling, the proposed converter design is implemented and validated through physical hardware testing, demonstrating reductions in power loss across different tested intelligent control schemes.
Minimising power losses in electric drive systems is essential for improving electrical efficiency. By pairing optimised converter designs with intelligent control techniques, electric drives can operate with better power factor and lower energy wastage, which supports more efficient motor performance across various industrial and commercial electrical systems.
The research demonstrates an applied technology tested through both simulation and physical hardware prototyping. It is relevant to developers and manufacturers of electric drive systems and power electronics seeking to cut energy losses in brushless motors. Because the design has been validated on physical hardware, it appears to be at an applied testing stage, ready for subsequent integration into broader commercial drive applications.

In recent decades, there has been a growing interest in the design and development of power loss reduction in electric drive systems. To realize the full potential of the Brushless DC motor (BLDCM), the design methodology of an effective intelligent controller is vital. On the other hand, the Landsman converter is used in a bridgeless configuration to enhance the power factor and minimize the power loss of the BLDCM. In addition, BLDCM utilizes the different intelligent controllers that are used to decrease power loss. The performance of the Landsman converter and CSC converter is analyzed concerning various configurations/stages, and the numerical MATLAB 2016a simulation results are discussed to arrive at the suitable intelligent controller for the BLDC motor, and comparison results are presented. The proposed converter is designed and validated using hardware implementation by minimizing power loss. Effectiveness can be tested and valued for the proposed controller for the various intelligent controllers of BLDCM.
