  • Patent number: 11967907
    Abstract: The invention proposed a space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) method for any level cascaded H-bridge inverter. The multilevel space vector diagram is re-divided, and the coordinates of the nearest three vectors (NTVs) are directly obtained by judging the position of the reference vector. The duty cycles of the NTVs is calculated through additional vector which is equivalent to the reference vector. Then, the switching states are obtained by zero-sequence component and coordinate transformation, and the desired reference vector is synthesized for the SVPWM modulation. The invention realizes multilevel modulation in Cartesian coordinates without any iterative calculation, and the calculation is independent of the level number. Furthermore, the locating of the reference vector and the calculation of the duty cycles are simplified, and the calculation complexity is reduced.

  • Patent number: 11750127
    Abstract: The invention discloses a control method for balancing scaling errors of multiple current sensors for PMSM. An impedance network is set between a direct current power supply and a three-phase inverter connected to a PMSM to avoid positive and negative poles of the direct current power supply being short-circuited under actions of shoot-through vectors. Under actions of two shoot-through vectors in a PWM cycle, three-phase current sensors are used to respectively sample the sum of currents in each branch of three-phase output branches of the three-phase inverter and a branch of the same bridge arm of the three-phase inverter, according to the sampled currents, operating to obtain the relationship between the scaling error coefficients of the three-phase current sensors. Then, correction coefficients are calculated. The correction of the scaling errors of the current sensors is implemented using correction coefficient feedback control.

  • Publication number: 20230124500
    Abstract: A method for model predictive current control of a two-motor torque synchronization system, which belongs to the field of power electronics and motor control. The present disclosure takes an indirect matrix converter and a two-motor system which are coaxially and rigidly connected as a target, and takes two-motor torque synchronization performance and current tracking performance as main control objectives. A two-motor unified prediction model is established and a value function based on free components of error items is configured so as to solve the problems in which when model predictive current control is performed on a two-motor system, setting of a value function weighting coefficient needs to be performed manually, and consequently the setting process is complicated and an erroneous switch state combination is likely to be selected.
