Due to advancements in power electronics and inverter topologies, the current controlled multilevel voltage-source pulse width modulated (PWM) inverter is usually preferred for accurate control, quick response and high dynamic performance. A multilevel topology approach is found to be best suited for overcoming many problems arising from the use of high power converters. This paper presents a comprehensive review and comparative study of several current control (CC) techniques for multilevel inverters with a special emphasis on various approaches of the hysteresis current controller. Since the hysteresis CC technique poses a problem of variable switching frequency, a ramp-comparator controller and a predictive controller to attain constant switching frequency are described along with its quantitative comparison. Furthermore, various methods have been reviewed to achieve hysteresis current control PWM with constant switching frequency operation. This paper complies various guidelines to choose a particular method suitable for application at a given power level, switching frequency and dynamic response.

Hysteresis current control is one of the simplest techniques used to control currents for high speed drive systems, because of its simplicity of implementation, fast current control response, and inherent peak current limiting capability. However the conventional fixed-band hysteresis control has a variable switching frequency throughout the fundamental period, and consequently the load current harmonics spreaded on the wide frequency range. In this paper, a simple, novel alterative approach is proposed for a variable-hysteresis band current controller which uses feedback techniques to achieve constant switching frequency with good dynamic response. The method is easily implemented in hardware, the resultant controller is easily tuned to a particular load, and has good immunity to variation in PV parameter and dc supply voltage.

The current control using a conventional hysteresis controller of a STATCOM based on two level VSI (Voltage Source Inverter) has high switching frequency and variable modulation frequency. This will increase the switching loss. In addition, the current error is not strictly limited So, in this paper to reduce the switching frequency and to maintain the constant modulation frequency, a novel double band hysteresis current controller based on 3-level VSI is proposed. A conventional hysteresis current control and a novel hysteresis current control was tested with digital simulation and verified the advantage of the novel hysteresis current controller.

The torque of the SRM((Switched Reluctance Motor)) is proportional to the inductance slope, so it has a non-linear torque characteristic, and has a disadvantage in that the torque pulsation is large and noise is severe. In particular, the biggest obstacle to the commercialization of SRM is the pulsating torque generated from the rotating shaft, which has various adverse effects not only on the device itself but also on the peripheral devices. Therefore, various methods for reducing the pulsating torque have been published by domestic and foreign researchers, and there is a study result that the hysteresis controller has an advantage in that it can flow a smooth current compared to the chopping control. However, in determining the hysteresis band, if the band is too small, it has a disadvantage in that it may cause a switching loss due to many switching and an unstable initial start when the encoder is used. Therefore, in this paper, a variable hysteresis controller that can reduce torque ripple in a steady state while having a more stable and fast speed response through the change of the hysteresis band according to the speed error.

The most common current controller for the Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) is the hysteresis controller. This method, however, suffers from such drawbacks as variable switching frequency, consequent audible noise and high current ripple. These disadvantages make this controlling method undesirable for many applications. The alternative solution is the PI controller. Since the fixed gain PI current controller can only be optimized for one operating point, and on the other hand, SR motor is highly nonlinear, PI controller gain should be adjusted according to incremental inductance. This paper presents a novel method for PI current controller gain adaptation which is simple and yields a good performance. The proposed controller has been implemented on a test bench using a eZdsp F28335 board. The performance of the current controller has been investigated in both simulation and experimental tests using a four-phase 8/6 4KW SRM drive system.

This paper presents the application algorithm for speed control of Switched Reluctance Motor. The conventional PI controller has been widely used in industrial applications. But it is very difficult to find the optimal PI control gain. Fuzzy control does not need any model of plant. It is based on plant operator experience and heuristics. The proposed fuzzy logic modifier increases the control performance of conventional PI controller. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed fuzzy control method was superior to the conventional PI controller in the respect of system performance. The experiments are performed to verify the capability of proposed control method on 6/4 salient type SRM.

Among the characteristics of SRM, due to nonlinearity, it is difficult to properly operate to form maximum torque and minimum torque pulsation. In addition, in the case of fixed switching angle control, torque formation according to speed variation is unstable, thereby reducing efficiency. Therefore, active switching angle control according to speed variation is required. Therefore, active switching angle control according to speed variation is required. In this paper, a method for improving driving performance by reducing torque ripple by automatic control of the advance angle and increasing output torque was sought from the problem caused by the nonlinearity of the SRM. In addition, the optimal operation of SRM due to the switching variable according to the performance of the hysteretic current controller was examined.

In this paper, novel topology for fast response of various loads is proposed. The windup phenomenon appears and results in performance degradation when the PI controller output is saturated. A new anti-windup PI controller is proposed to improve the control performance of variable speed motor drives, and it is experimentally applied to the speed control of a hysteresis current-controlled SRM driven by an asymmetry bridge converter. The experimental results show that the speed response has much improved performance, such as small overshoot and fast settling time, over the conventional PI control.
