In a PWM inverter-fed IPMSM (Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) drive, a dead time is inserted to prevent a breakdown of switching device caused by the short-circuit of DC link. This distorts the inverter output voltage resulting in a current distortion and torque ripple. In addition to the dead time, nonlinearity exists in switching devices of the PWM inverter, which is generally dependent on operating conditions such as the temperature, DC link voltage, and current. The voltage disturbance caused by the dead time and inverter nonlinearity directly influences on the inverter output performance, and it is known to be more severe at low speed. In this paper, a new compensation scheme for the dead time and inverter nonlinearity under the parameter variation is proposed for a PWM inverter-fed IPMSM drive. The overall system is implemented using DSP TMS320F28335 and the validity of the proposed algorithm is verified through the simulation and experiments.

A simple source voltage clamped resonant link (SVCRL) inverter is proposed to clamp the DC link voltage to the input source voltage and reduce the current rating of resonant inductor. The current control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) using a predictive current control technique (PCCT) employing the SVCRL inverter is also investigated to overcome the disadvantage of the current regulated delta modulation (CRDM) control technique. By using the PCCT based on the discrete model of a PMSM and estimation of back EMF, the minimized current ripple with small number of switchings can be obtained. Finally, the comparative computer simulation and experimental results are given to show the usefulness of the proposed technique.

Diode rectifier which can't be controlled output voltage and phase control converter as AC/DC converter have low power factor and harmonics of lower order in the line current. In this paper, three phase PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) AC/DC boost converter is studied to solve these problems. The characteristics of a proposed converter are to control the phase of current without current sensor as a very simple control algorithm using circuit parameters only and to apply sinusoidal PWM method with fixed switching frequency due to a difficult design of input filter and switching device. We simulate for the proposed algorithm that high power factor is achieved and DC link voltage has fast dynamic response without ripple in rectifying and regenerating operation. As a result of experiment with circuit parameter(inductor, capacitor) decided in simulation, the proposed converter had high power factor and reduction of low order harmonics as against diode rectifier.

듀얼 인버터를 가진 개방 권선형 영구자석 동기 전동기는 같은 DC Link 전압으로 모터에 더 큰 전압을 사용할 수 있게 할 수 있다. 이 때문에 DC Link와 인버터 사이의 DC/DC Boost 컨버터의 필요성을 없애줄 뿐 아니라 배터리의 전압을 낮출 수 있어 안전상의 이점 및 BMS의 요구 조건을 낮추므로 경제적 이점을 가질 수 있다. 이 시스템은 경제적 이점 외에도 모터에 고전압을 인가함으로써 기존에 비해 고속 운전 영역 확장 또는 운전 영역을 기존과 동일하게 유지한다면 인버터의 손실 감소라는 이점 또한 얻을 수 있다. 그러나 1차단 인버터와 2차단 인버터의 합성전압 차이로 인해 생기는 Zero Sequence Voltage (ZSV)로 인해 시스템의 손실을 증대시키는 Zero Sequence Current (ZSC)가 흐를 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이를 억제하기 위한 스위칭 패턴 형성을 위한 PWM 캐리어 생성 방법에 대해 제시하고, 이 방법을 적용하여 스위칭 순서 상 센터 영벡터의 유/무에 따른 제어 영향성 분석을 추가로 진행하여 전류 리플을 줄일 수 있는 스위칭 패턴 생성 방법을 제시한다.

This paper proposes a compensation method for the $2^{nd}$-order harmonic of single-phase grid-connected wind power generation systems. Theoretically, a single-phase grid-connected inverter system has no choice but to cause the $2^{nd}$-order harmonic to DC-link voltage. The reference active current is affected by the DC-link voltage. The output current from the reference active current is distorted by the $1^{st}$ and $3^{rd}$-order harmonic. The proposed method can compensate, conveniently, the reference active current with the $2^{nd}$-order harmonic. To reduce the $2^{nd}$-order ripple in the reference active current, proposed method takes a PR controller as a feed-forward compensator. PR controllers can implement selective harmonic compensation without excessive computational requirements; the use of these controllers simplifies the method. Both the simulation and experimental results agree well with the theoretical analysis.

This paper presents a fast switching direct torque control (FS-DTC) using only a single DC-link current sensor. In FS-DTC, six new active voltage complex space vectors (CSVs) are synthesized by the conventional active voltage space vectors (SVs). The corresponding sectors are rotated in the anticlockwise direction by 30 degrees. A selection table is defined to select the CSVs. Based on the "Different Phase Mode", the output sequence of the selected CSV is optimized. Accordingly, a reconstruction method is proposed to acquire the phase currents. The core of the FS-DTC is that all of the three phase currents can be reliably reconstructed during every two sampling periods, which is the result of the fast switching between different phases. The errors between the reconstructed and actual currents are strictly limited in one sampling period. The FS-DTC has the advantages of the standard DTC scheme such as simple structure, quick torque response and robustness. As can be seen in the analysis, the FS-DTC can be thought of as an equivalent standard DTC scheme with 86.6% of the maximum speed, 173.2% of the torque ripple, and 115% of the response time of the torque. Based on a dSPACE DS1103 controller, the FS-DTC is implemented in an induction machine drive system. The results verify the effectiveness of the FS-DTC.

DC bus electrolytic capacitors are used in variety of equipments as smoothing element of the power converters because it has high capacitance for its size and low price. It is responsible for frequent breakdowns of many static converters and inverter drive systems. Therefore it is important to diagnosis monitoring the condition of an electrolytic capacitor in real-time to predict the failure of power converter. In this paper, the on-line remote diagnosis monitoring system for DC BUS electrolytic capacitors of power converter using low-cost type Zigbee communication modules is developed. To estimate the health status of the capacitor, the equivalent series resistor(ESR) of the component has to be determined. The capacitor ESR is estimated by using RMS computation using AC coupling method of DC link ripple voltage/current. The Zigbee communication-based experimental results show that the proposed remote DC capacitor diagnosis monitoring system can be applied to DC/DC converter and UPS successfully.

The parallel operation of voltage source inverters using stator windings of high power three-phase induction motors was proposed in this paper. Most current high power induction motors with more than 4 electric poles have their external terminals installed so that windings of each phase can be approached from the outside. High power induction motors can be driven by parallel-operating several voltage source inverters through these external terminals. This way, in case a certain inverter breaks down, the operation torque will get decreased but the system can maintain its operation with the other inverters, so it can cope more effectively with breakdowns. Moreover, by providing phase difference to the switching movements of each inverter, it can increase equivalent switching frequency, which helps achieve good characteristics such as the reduction in the ripple of output torque, the reduction in the ripple of input current, and the reduction in the size of DC capacitors. Besides, since power is divided into each inverter, it can also decrease the ifluence of EMI occurring in the system. The characteristics of the proposed method were proved through computer simulations in this paper.
