As for a vector control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor, this paper analyzed the influence of dead-time effect of three-phase bridge inverters on output voltage and current in details. A novel on-line method was proposed for dead-time effect compensation based on disturbance observer. At last, the method is simulated using MATLAB and the simulation results proves the effectiveness and feasibility of the method presented.

Sensorless control technology of PMSMs is of great importance for safety and reliability in electric vehicles. Among all existing methods, only the extended flux-based method has great performance over all speed range. However, the accuracy and reliability of the extended flux rotor position observer are greatly affected by the dead-time effect. In this paper, the extended flux-based observer is adopted to develop a sensorless control system. The influence of dead-time effect on the observer is analyzed and a dead-time correction method is specially designed to guarantee the reliability of the whole control system. A comparison of estimation precision among the extended flux-based method, the electromotive force (EMF)-based method and the high frequency signal injection method is given by simulations. The performance of the proposed sensorless control system is verified by experiments. The experimental results show that the proposed extended flux-based sensorless control system with dead-time correction has satisfactory performance over full speed range in both loaded and non-loaded situations. The estimation error of rotor speed is within 4% in all working conditions. The dead-time correction method improves the reliability of the control system effectively.

Neutral Point Clamped (NPC) converters with n levels are traditionally controlled in such a way that the DC-link capacitors operate at 1/( n - 1) of the total DC-link voltage level. The voltage level across the DC-link capacitors has to be properly regulated by the capacitor unbalance control to contain the harmonic distortion of the converter output voltages. State-of-the-art modulation techniques address the problem of the DC-link voltage regulation for NPC inverters. However, they highly show reduced performance when unbalanced DC-link voltages are considered. In this paper, a novel Space Vector Modulation (SVM) is proposed for NPC converters with an unbalanced DC-link. At every modulation interval, the technique defines the optimal switching pattern by considering the actual unbalanced DC-link conditions. The proposed modulation allows improving the harmonic content of the NPC converter output voltage with respect to a traditional ML-SVM, when the same operating conditions are considered. As an extension, the proposed modulation technique will guarantee the same output voltage quality of a traditional ML-SVM with unbalanced DC-link, while improving the conversion efficiency thanks to a reduction of switching frequency.

To deal with the problem that dead time is indispensable and that its compensation is difficult to implement especially when taking Space Vector Modulation method to modulate the inverter stage of Two-Stage Matrix Converter (TSMC), this paper presents a Carrier-based Modulation (CBM) strategy suitable for the TSMC and amplifies concerned the uniqueness of the proposed CBM. Based on this, the dead-time effect to TSMC is analyzed, formula for describing dead-time effect is induced, and two compensation methods are given, namely modulation voltage modification method and time compensation method. At last, the uncompensated and compensated experiments are carried out on the prototype, and the results prove that this strategy meets the satisfaction.
