  • Patent number: 10171020
    Abstract: An intelligent cooperative control system and method thereof. A parallel structure for low-voltage multi-module permanent magnet synchronous motor cooperative control units is adopted to realize control of low-voltage high power, control of low-speed large torque and system redundancy control; a double-parallel PWM rectifier circuit structure is used, when the system is in unbalanced power supply network environments; a resonant pole-type three-phase soft-switching inverter circuit is used as an inverter unit to improve utilization of DC bus voltage and to greatly reduce device switch losses at high frequencies; a current control and speed estimation unit is used, so that rotor speed and phase angle information is accurately estimated with low cost and high reliability; a controlled object is the multi-module permanent magnet synchronous motor, so that the problems of difficulties in motor installation, transportation and maintenance of a high-power electric drive system and the like are solved.

  • Patent number: 9673730
    Abstract: Provided are a double auxiliary resonant commutated pole three-phase soft-switching inverter circuit and a modulation method. The circuit includes a three-phase main inverter circuit and a three-phase double auxiliary resonant commutator circuit. An A-phase double auxiliary resonant commutator circuit, an A-phase main inverter circuit, a B-phase double auxiliary resonant commutator circuit, a B-phase main inverter circuit, a C-phase double auxiliary resonant commutator circuit and a C-phase main inverter circuit are connected in parallel in sequence and simultaneously connected with a DC power supply in parallel. The present invention can achieve the separation of the resonant current of the double auxiliary resonant commutator circuit from the load current at the moment of current commutation, thereby effectively reducing the current stress of the auxiliary switching tubes and the efficiency can be greatly increased particularly under light load condition.
