Abstract

The Space Vector Modulation (SVM) technique has gained wide acceptance for many AC drive applications, due to a higher DC bus voltage utilization (higher output voltage when compared with the SPWM), lower harmonic distortions and easy digital realization. In recent years, the SVM technique was extensively adopted in multilevel inverters since it offers greater numbers of switching vectors for obtaining further improvements of AC drive performances. However, the use of multilevel inverters associated with SVM increases the complexity of control algorithm (or computational burden), in obtaining proper switching sequences and vectors. The complexity of SVM computation causes a microcontroller or digital signal processor (DSP) to execute the computation at a larger sampling time. This consequently may produce errors in computation and hence degrades the control performances of AC motor drives. This paper presents a developement of SVM modulator for three-level Cascaded H-Bridge Multilevel Inverter (CHMI) using a hybrid controller approach, i.e. with combination between the DS1104 Controller Board and FPGA. In such way, the computational burden can be minimized as the SVM tasks are distributed into two parts, in which every part is executed by a single controller. This allows the generation of switching gates performed by FPGA at the minimum sampling time 〖DT〗_2=540 ns to obtain precise desired output voltages, as can be verified via simulation and experimental results.

Abstract

Bearingless permanent magnet synchronous motor (BPMSM) combines the characteristic of the conventional permanent magent synchronous motor and magnetic bearing in one electric motor. BPMSM is a kind of high performance motor due to having both advantages of PMSM and magnetic bearing with simple structure, high efficiency, and reasonable cost. The research on BPMSM is to design and analyse BPMSM by using Maxwell 2-Dimensional of ANSYS Finite Element Method (FEM). Independent suspension force model and bearingless PMSM model are developed by using the method of suspension force. Then, the mathematical model of electromagnetic torque and radial suspension force has been developed by using Matlab/Simulink. The relation between force, current, distance and other parameter are determined. This research covered the principle of suspension force, the mathematical model, FEM analysis and digital control system of bearingless PMSM. This kind of motor is widely used in high speed application such as compressors, pumps and turbines.

Abstract

Multilevel inverter (MLI) is commonly utilized in direct torque control (DTC) for medium and high power applications. The additional voltage vectors generated by MLI can be manipulated to achieve the optimal selection for the inverter switching states in the DTC control systems. Previously, a review of DTC which focused more on the two-level inverter for induction motor as well as a review of the multilevel converter in industrial applications had been implemented individually. However, a review on DTC development in MLI was insufficient in both papers. Therefore, this paper aims to give a comprehensive review of the improvement of DTC via various MLI applications. It is reviewed according to the applicable multilevel inverter topologies in the DTC system. The comparison of DTC by using conventional and multilevel inverter is synthesized. Thus, this review paper will hopefully lead researchers in further research activities actively.

Abstract

A typical problem of traditional DTCs is that the stator flux fails to regulate at low running speeds. The regulation of stator flux in DTC is disrupted because of the unavoidable voltage drop across the stator resistance. As a result, one of the solutions to the problem is to use a fixed sector rotation technique. The concept is based on decreasing stator flux droop, a simple technique for changing the flux locus sector at a certain angle. This method, however, is only effective at low working speeds at one value of torque. As a result, the stator flux droop effect at various speeds as well as torque must be studied. The study is carried out in this paper using simulation (MATLAB/Simulink) and a practical setup (dSPACE board) where both have performed similar outcomes. The comparison is done between the conventional method (without a strategy) and the proposed method (with strategy). In summary, the effect of stator flux droop has been found to have an inverse linear relationship to the speed and torque variation.

Abstract

Direct torque control (DTC) of induction motor is prominent to offer instant torque and flux control with a simple control structure. However, this scheme suffers from two major drawbacks namely high torque ripple and variable switching frequency of the inverter, especially during low-speed operation. During the low-speed condition, the positive torque slope is very steep and torque overshoot occurs frequently resulting in the torque ripple become of great significance. This paper proposes a new and effective technique to reduce the torque ripple by integrating the alternate switching technique to the inverter switching status to limit the torque slope surge. By varying the frequency and duty cycle of the alternate switching, the rate of surge can be controlled resulting in the chances of overshoots, and selection of reverse voltage vector can be avoided. The feasibility of the proposed technique has been validated using MATLAB/Simulink software and through experimental results. The results show the proposed alternate switching technique minimizes over 40% reduction in the torque ripple while maintaining the simple structure of DTC.

Abstract

Direct torque control (DTC) using dual-inverter technique is one of the best topologies for electric vehicle (EV) as it offers abundant selection of voltage vectors to drive the induction machine (IM). This dual-inverter technique also more reassuring as the system still workable even any of its voltage supply is disrupted or the power pack is drained. However, during the uneven voltage supply, the movement of voltage vectors is interrupted and will move obliquely especially in medium voltage vectors. This situation will lead to the faulty movement of the voltage vectors in the default sector definitions and lead to huge flux droop, which later could impose to distort phase current. This paper proposes an optimal sector definition based on the preset voltage ratio between the two inverters. The voltage vectors can be mapped tangentially to the flux vector, minimizing the flux droop and improving the phase current waveform when the proposed sector is utilized. The effectiveness of the proposed sector is tested using MATLAB/Simulink software and the exact parameter from the induction machine.
