This study proposes a method for improving the overmodulation performance of a three-phase inverter to obtain an enhanced output torque for the AC motors. In the inverter-fed AC motor drives, the output torque of the motor can be enhanced by utilizing the overmodulation region as well as the linear modulation regions of the inverter. The overmodulation method is used for this overmodulation operation of the inverter. However, the voltage gain, the ratio of the output voltage of the inverter to the reference voltage achieved by the conventional overmodulation methods becomes nonlinearly smaller than unity. Therefore, the effect of improving the output torque of the AC motors is insignificant even when the overmodulation region is utilized. In this study, we propose a method that improves the overmodulation performance of the inverter by compensating the limited amount of the reference voltage in the overmodulation operation to enhance the output torque of the AC motors. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through the simulations and experiments with an 800 W permanent magnet synchronous motor.

In this paper, the static overmodulation is proposed for the 2-phase full bridge inverter. The overmodulation strategy increases a fundamental output voltage and improves a voltage utilization up to the maximum in the overmodulation range. The linear modulation range and static overmodulation range are defined in the 2-phase full bridge inverter. The overmodulation strategies which increase a voltage utilization until the 4-step mode by linearization of the output voltage in overmodulation range are proposed. To maintain a linearity of the relation between a reference voltage and a fundamental output voltage, this paper suggests a compensation voltage, whose magnitude or phase is modified to the proposed control scheme. Simulation and experimentation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

In this paper, a new dynamic overmodulation strategy is proposed for vector-controlled induction motor drive, and a comparison experiment with conventional schemes are also performed. In overmodulation region, the proposed overmodulation scheme allocates the output voltage of inverter so that synchronous d-axis voltage is diminished in proposed overmodulation scheme allocates the output voltage of inverter so that synchronous d-axis voltage is diminished in proportion as reference voltage exceeds hexagon boundary. As a result, d-axis current is decreased in the overmodulation region, which improves the dynamic performance of torque control considering the current dynamics of induction motor. The conspicuous improvement of the proposed scheme over conventional ones is observed in experimental results.

The overmodulation characteristics of a carrier-based medium vector pulse width modulation (CBMVPWM) are examined in this study. CBMVPWM can completely eliminate leakage currents in a three-phase, three-level inverter using only the switching states with the same common mode voltage even in an overmodulation operation. The analytic equations for the magnitude of the output voltage and the switching frequency are derived for overmodulation operation, and the effect of dead time on the leakage current is demonstrated. This study presents the operating principle of CBMVPWM, basic overmodulation features, and simulations and experiments for operating verification.

This paper proposes a simple space vector PWM (SVPWM) scheme including overmodulation operation for 3-level NPC (Neutral Point Clamped) Inverters. The proposed scheme features a simple decision and calculation procedure for determining switching times in the overmodulation range by utilizing the duty calculation method used in 2-level inverters and the minimum phase error projection method widely employed in motor drive systems. The proposed scheme does not need to detect the angle of the reference vector or calculate trigonometric functions to determine the magnitude of the voltage vector. The magnitude of the angle of the new reference voltage vector is decided in advance with the help of the Fourier Series Expansion to extend the linearity of the output voltage of 3-level inverters in the overmodulation region. Experimental results demonstrate the validity of the proposed SVPWM scheme including overmodulation operation for 3-level NPC inverters.

In the overmodulation region, the operation of the three phase induction motor with a current controller is characterized by a rapid deterioration of the motor torque and speed. It is desirable to use the overmodulation strategy that extends the normal operating range even in this case. In this paper, a new overmodulation strategy is proposed for the high performance motor drives and the comparison study with two conventional methods are also described. In the proposed strategy, considering the motor dynamics, a suitable voltage vector is selected in order to extend the stable operating range in the overmodulation region. With this advanced overmodulation algorithm, the normal operating range can be extended without any extra hardware.

This paper proposes an overmodulation strategy for space-vector PWM(SVPWM). The overmodulation strategy increases a fundamental output voltage and improves a voltage utilization up to the maximum in the overmodulation region. To maintain a linearity of the relation between a reference voltage and a fundamental output voltage, this paper suggests a compensation voltage, whose magnitude or phase is modified to the proposed control scheme. The practical implementation is simple and it is applied to improve an output voltage of SVPWM controlled AC Motor in the steady-state. The characteristic of the proposed strategy is confirmed by simulations and experiments for a V/F control of a induction motor.

본 논문에서는 전철 구동용 견인 전동기의 구동을 위한 과변조 영역에서의 NPC형 3-레벨 인버터의 출력전압 선형화 기법을 제안한다. 과변조 영역은 Modulation Index: MI에 따라서 2가지 모드로 나누었으며 과변조영역 I에서는 퓨리에 시리즈를 통한 기본파성분의 크기로 유도된 reference angle을 사용하였다. 과변조영역 II에서는 과변조영역 I과 같은 방법으로 holding angle을 구하여 사용하였다. 이 두 가지 과변조기법을 통하여 PWM 인버터 출력전압을 1펄스 모드까지 선형적으로 획득할 수 있다.
