It is necessary to obtain the high performance of the inverter system that control the output current of inverters. The dead time causes detrimental effects to the control performance of the inverter system. So we need to compensate the dead time effects. And the dead time minimization switching method can be considered as the best way to avoid the dead time effects fundamentally. In this paper, a new dead time minimization switching strategy is proposed. According to the proposed method, very short dead time is adopted in only once when the current polarity is changing. And the adopted dead time is equal to the applied dead time or shorter than it. As the proposed method can be done with the porlarity information of the reference current. it is easy to avoid some problems in comparison with the case that the real current is used to get the polarity changing time; level detection difficulty, noise problem and so on.

Dead-time element must be set into space vector pulsed width modulation signals to avoid short circuits of the inverter. However, the dead-time element distorts the output voltage vector, which deteriorates the performance of electrical machine drive system. In this paper, dead-time effect and its compensation control strategy are analyzed. Based on the analysis, the voltage distortion caused by dead-time is regarded as two disturbances imposed on dq axes in the rotor reference frame, which degenerates the current tracking performance. To inhibit the adverse effect caused by the dead-time, a control scheme using two linear extended state observers is proposed. This method provides a strong ability to suppress dead-time effects. Simulations and experiments are conducted on a permanent magnet synchronous motor drive system to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper presents a comprehensive theoretical analysis and an accurate calculation method of the dead-time required to achieve zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) in a battery charger with the phase-shifted full-bridge (PSFB) topology. Compared to previous studies, this is the first time that the effects of nonlinear output filter inductance, varied Miller Plateau length, and blocking capacitors have been considered. It has been found that the output filter inductance and the Miller Plateau have a significant influence on the dead-time for ZVS when the load current varies a lot in battery charger applications. In addition, the blocking capacitor, which is widely used to prevent saturation, reduces the circulating current and consequently affects the setting of the dead-time. In consideration of these effects, accurate analytical equations of the dead-time range for ZVS are deduced. Experimental results from a 1.5kW PSFB battery charger prototype shows that, with the proposed analysis, an optimal dead-time can be selected to meet the specific requirements of a system while achieving ZVS over wide load range.

This study proposes a compensation method for the dead-time effects on a single-phase grid-connected inverter. Dead time should be considered in the pulse-width modulation gating signals to prevent the simultaneous conduction of switching devices, considering that a switching device has a finite switching time. Consequently, the output current of the grid-connected inverter contains odd-numbered harmonics because of the dead time and the nonlinear characteristics of the switching devices. The effects of dead time on output voltage and current are analyzed in this study. A new compensation algorithm based on second-order generalized integrator is also proposed to reduce the dead-time effect. Simulation and experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed compensation algorithm.

PWM 전압원 인버터를 통상적인 스위칭 방법으로 동작시킬 때, 직류 전압원의 단락을 방지하기 위하여 스위칭 신호에 데드타임을 삽입한다. 이러한 데드타임은 인버터 시스템의 제어 성능에 좋지 않은 영향을 발생시킨다. 따라서 이 데드타임의 영향을 보상하는 것이 필요하다. 또한 이 데드타임의 영향을 근본적으로 방지할 수 있는 최선의 방법으로써 데드타임 최소화 스위칭 방법을 고려할 수도 있다. 본 논문에서는 데드타임 최소화 스위칭 방법의 하나인 새로운 스위칭 방법을 제안하였다. 제안한 스위칭방법에 의하면 전류 극성이 절환되는 경우에 있어서, 단 한 번의 매우 짧은 데드타임만이 적용된다. 적용되는 데드타임은 스위칭 소자의 턴오프 시간보다 짧거나 같다. 그리고 제안하는 방법은 인버터의 출력 전류를 제어하는 경우에 있어서는, 지령전류의 극성 정보에 의하여 구현될 수 있기 때문에 극성 절환 시점을 판단하기 위하여 실제 전류를 이용하는 경우에 비하여 레벨 검출의 난점, 노이즈 등등의 문제점을 해결하기 쉽다.

A new on-line dead-time compensation method for a permanent magnet (PM) synchronous motor drive is proposed. Using a simple disturbance observer without any additional circuit and off-line experimental measurement, disturbance voltages in the synchronous reference dq frame caused by the dead time and non-ideal switching characteristics of power devices are estimated in an on-line manner and fed to voltage references in order to compensate the dead-time effects. The proposed method is applied to a PM synchronous motor drive system and implemented by using software of a digital signal processor (DSP) TMS320C31. Simulations and experiments are carried out for this system and the results well demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The performance of direct torque controlled (DTC) interior permanent magnet (IPM) machines is poor at low speeds due to a few reasons, namely limited accuracy of stator voltage acquisition and the presence of offset and drift components in the acquired signals. Due to factors such as forward voltage drop across switching devices in the three phase inverter and dead-time of the devices, the voltage across the machine terminals differ from the reference voltage vector used to estimate stator flux and electromagnetic torque. This can lead to instability of the IPM drive during low speed operation. Compensation schemes for forward voltage drops and dead-time are proposed and implemented in real-time control, resulting in improved performance of the space vector modulated DTC IPM drive, especially at low speeds. No additional hardware is required for these compensators.
