The Impact

Purpose This paper aims to present the impact of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control frequency for specific Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSMs) on the efficiency of the entire driving unit. Examinations were carried out for a PMSM unit with a power of 1 kW, rated speed of 1,000 rpm, and rated torque of 6 Nm. Design/methodology/approach The PWM frequency ranged from 4 to 20 kHz with increments of 1 kHz. Measurements were taken for each of the foregoing frequencies, for the different load torques, and for the different rotation speeds including overspeed. The results achieved allow the PWM control frequency to be properly adjusted for each PMSM to operate the entire driving unit in the most efficient way and, in consequence, save energy consumed by the drive. Findings Obtained results may be used as a kind of background for the design of drive system. Research limitations/implications For a specific PMSM-based drive system, one can find the optimal PWM control frequency. This frequency depends on the rotation speed and torque of the motor. However, the validity of the results presented in the paper is limited. They are valid for the specific motor drive under test and cannot be generalized easily. Originality/value This work shows that there is some maximal efficiency of the entire system depending on the rotation speed, load torque and switching frequency of the power transistors. For a specific motor working in a certain condition, we can find the minimum power loss.

This paper presents dual inverter power supply open-end winding of surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor (OW-SPMSM) drive system for fans and pumps energy saving by V/f control. On the principle of OW-SPMSM drive system, this paper puts forward a unified Sine wave pulse width modulation strategy (SPWM) of dual inverter, which is easy to real time implementation for the calculation of this method is less than SVPWM, its performance is as good as the SVPWM in terms of harmonic power balance. Accordingly, a power factor closed loop control was introduced into the drive system to achieve stable volts/hertz (V/F) control. The system simulation model was investigated in detail; its results show that the proposed drive system has greatly improved the system dynamic performance.

In this thesis, a sensorless method for low and zero speed operation is proposed for a high-power medium-voltage pulse-width-modulated Current–Source-Converter (CSC)-fed Interior Permanent Magnet Motor (IPM) drive system. The proposed method is based on injection of a high-frequency (HF) pulsating sinusoidal signal into the estimated synchronous reference frame of the drive’s Field Oriented Control (FOC) scheme. The conventional FOC control scheme, low switching frequency, dc-link inductor and the inverter output three-phase filter capacitor of the medium-voltage high-power current-source drive present some challenges in the generation and design of the HF injection signal. To overcome the challenges, the FOC scheme is modified by introducing a modulation index control with a suitable dc-link current compensation to enhance the dynamic response of the injected signal and prevent any clamp in the injected signal. In addition, a Multisampling Space Vector Modulation (MS-SVM) method is proposed to prevent the distortion in the HF signal due to a low switching frequency to injected signal ratio. It is found that by using the proposed FOC scheme and multisampling modulation scheme, and proper design of the HF signal, an accurate rotor flux angle can be estimated for sensorless zero/low speed operation. Moreover, a novel input power factor compensation method is proposed for a high-power pulse-width-modulated Current-Source-Converter (CSC)-fed Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) drive system. The proposed method is based on controlling the d-axis stator current component in the field-oriented control scheme of the drive system. The main feature of the proposed scheme is to compensate for the line-side power factor without the need for modulation index control in either the rectifier or the inverter. Simulation and experimental verification for various objectives are provided throughout the thesis. The results validate the proposed solutions for the main challenges of zero/low speed operation of sensorless Current-Source-Converter (CSC)-fed Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) drive system.

Comparison Results

In this paper, the vector-controlled Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) fed by Indirect Matrix Converter (IMC) is analyzed, designed, and simulated by using the IMC with Carrier Based Pulse Width Modulation (CBPWM). The CBPWM strategy is based on Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) analysis, it is used to enhance the input current waveform, reduce the complexity of switching signals generation, and to solve the commutation problem. The traditional PMSM drive system is simulated for comparison with proposed drive system. The proposed drive system is compared to the traditional drive system using the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). The comparison results show that the proposed drive system outperform the traditional drive system by THD different of 1/30 of input current and 1/1.5 of stator current, with high input power factor.

Harmonic Elimination

In order to optimize the electric energy quality of HVDC access point, a modular multilevel selective harmonic elimination pulse-width modulation (MSHE-PWM) method is proposed. On the basis of keeping the minimum action frequency of the power device, MSHE-PWM method can meet the requirement for accurately eliminating low-order harmonics in the output PWM waveform. Firstly, establish the basic mathematical model of MMC topology and point out the voltage balance control principle of single modules; then, analyze offline gaining principle and realization way of MSHEPWM switching angle; finally, verify MSHE-PWM control performance on the basis of MMC reactive power compensation experimental prototype. The experimental result shows that the proposed MSHE-PWM method can meet such performance indexes as low switching frequency and no lower-order harmonics, and has verified the feasibility and effectiveness thereof for optimizing the electric energy quality of HVDC access point.

Findings A prototype of the proposed LED driver is fabricated and tested. The measurement results show that the switching frequency can be increased to 1 MHz, Power inductance is 2.2 µH, which is smaller than current research. The dimming ratio can be set from 10% to 100%. The proposed LED driver can output more than 48 W and achieve a peak conversion efficiency of 91%. Originality/value The proposed LED driver adopts pulse width modulation (PWM) dimming at a lower dimming ratio and adopts DC dimming at a larger dimming ratio to realize switching PWM dimming to analog dimming. The control strategy can be more precise and have a wide range of dimming.
