This paper focuses on a speed control of Internet of Things (IoT) based BLDC motor employing Landsman converter under Partial Shading Condition (PSC). Using the Internet of Things Technology for supervising solar power generation can greatly enhance the performance, monitoring and maintenance of the plant. A Landsman converter is to be used as an interface between Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) fed Brushless DC (BLDC) motor and solar photovoltaic array. The speed control of BLDC motor under various loading condition is to be checked by controlling the DC-link voltage of the Voltage Source Inverter (VSI), thus offering the elimination of additional phase current sensing, DC-link voltage sensing, switching losses associated with the circuitry. The operation of landsman converter in Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) is expected to diminish the current and voltage stress across components and also for the safe and soft starting of the BLDC Motor. The performance of the proposed converter is analyzed by using Honey Bee Mating Optimization (HBMO) algorithm. The honey-bee algorithm is a nature enlivened algorithm which mimics the process of real Bumblebees mating. The overall performance of the honey bee optimization technique is anticipated to yield better results than the conventional techniques. The simulated results in MATLAB/Simulink environment are to be verified by using Hardware prototype
