To suppress the direct current (DC) capacitor voltage fluctuations and the common-mode voltage (CMV) in a three-phase, five-level, neutral-point-clamped (NPC)/H-bridge inverter, this paper analyzes the influence of all voltage vectors on the neutral point potential of each phase under different pulse mappings in detail with an explanation of the CMV distribution. Then, based on the traditional space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) algorithm, a dual-pulse-mapping algorithm is proposed to suppress the DC capacitor fluctuations and the CMV simultaneously. In the algorithm, the reference voltage synthesis selects the voltage vector that has the smallest CMV value as the priority. In addition, the two kinds of pulse mappings that have opposite effects on the neutral point potential are switched to output. At the same time, regulating factors are introduced to adjust the working time of each voltage vector under the two pulse mappings; then, the capacitor voltages can be balanced. Both the simulation and experiment demonstrate the algorithm’s effectiveness.

The common-mode voltage (CMV) generated by the switching operation of the pulse width modulation (PWM) inverter leads to bearing failure and electromagnetic interference (EMI) noises. To reduce the CMV, it is necessary to reduce the magnitude of dv/dt and change the frequency of the CMV. In this paper, the range of the CMV is reduced by using opposite triangle carrier for ABC and XYZ winding group, and the change in frequency in the CMV is reduced by equalizing the dwell time of the zero voltage vector on ABC and XYZ winding group of dual three phase motor.

The three-phase H7 inverter topology installs an additional power semiconductor switch to the positive or negative node of the DC-link for reducing the common-mode voltage (CMV) by disconnecting the inverter from the DC source during the zero-voltage vectors. The conventional CMV reduction method for the three-phase H7 inverter uses modified discontinuous pulse width modulation (MDPWM) and generates a switching signal for the additional switch using logical operations. However, the conventional method is unable to eliminate the CMV for the entire dwell time of the zero-voltage vectors. It only has the effect of reducing the CMV in a limited area of the space vector where the V7 zero voltage vector is applied. Therefore, this paper proposes an optimized modulation method that can reduce the CMV during the entire dwell time of zero-voltage vectors. The proposed method moves the switching patterns by adding an offset voltage to guarantee that only one kind of zero-voltage vector, V7, is applied in the system. It then turns off the seventh switch only during the zero-voltage vector to disconnect the inverter from the DC source. As a result, the CMV and the leakage current are attenuated for the entire dwell time of the zero-voltage vector. Simulation and experimental results confirm the validity of the proposed method.

Current Ripple

A minimum root mean square (RMS) torque ripple-remote-state pulse-width modulation (MTR-RSPWM) technique is proposed for minimizing the RMS torque ripple under reduced common-mode voltage (CMV) condition of three-phase voltage source inverters (VSI)-fed brushless alternating current (BLAC) motor drives. The q-axis current ripple due to an error voltage vector generated between the reference voltage vector and applied voltage vector is analyzed for all pulse patterns with reduced CMV of the RSPWM. From the analysis result, in the MTR-RSPWM, a sector is divided into five zones, and within each zone, pulse patterns with the lowest RMS torque ripple and reduced CMV are employed. To verify the validity of the MTR-RSPWM, theorical analysis, simulation, and experiments are performed, where the MTR-RSPWM is thoroughly compared with RSPWM3 that generates the minimum RMS current ripple. From the analytical, simulation, and experimental results, it is shown that the MTR-RSPWM significantly reduces the RMS torque ripple under a reduced CMV condition at the expense of an increase in the RMS current ripple, compared to the RSPWM3.

This article presents three variants of the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) for the Double Square Multiphase type Conventional Matrix Converters (DSM-CMC) supplying loads with the open-end winding. The first variant of PWM offers the ability to obtain zero value of the common-mode voltage at the load’s terminals and applies only six switches within the modulation period. The second proposal archives for less Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of the generated load voltage. The third variant of modulation concerns maximizing the voltage transfer ratio, minimizing the number of switching, and the common-mode voltage cancellation. The discussed modulations are based on the concept of sinusoidal voltage quadrature signals, which can be an effective alternative to the classic space-vector approach. In the proposed approach, the geometrical arrangement of basic vectors needed to synthesize output voltages is built from the less number of vectors, which is equal to the number of the matrix converter’s terminals. The PWM duty cycle computation is performed using only a second-order determinant of the voltages coordinate matrix without using trigonometric functions. A new approach to the PWM duty cycles computing and the load voltage synthesis by 5 × 5 and 12 × 12 topologies has been verified using the PSIM simulation software.

The aim of the study is to determine the parameters characterizing the ripple of a motor's three- and five-phase windings common point potentials (for the star winding connection diagram) with respect to the converter zero point. One of the reserves for decreasing electromagnetically induced vibration of an electric motor with a rotating field is to increase the number of working winding phases. The study subject is a five-phase motor winding connected to a bridge converter, namely, its ability to reduce electromagnetically induced vibration in comparison with that in using a three-phase winding. The common point potential ripple parameters are studied, and an approach is proposed to estimating the amplitude modulation of the space-time voltage vector of three- and five-phase windings under the influence of the common point potential ripple with respect to the converter zero point. Theoretical studies were carried out using the Fourier series expansion method and vector analysis methods. To confirm the theoretical results, experimental studies of the prototypes of three-phase and five-phase synchronous motors with inductors made on the basis of permanent magnets were carried out. The main results have shown the following. With increasing the number of phases of the rotating field motor working winding connected to a bridge converter, the common point potential ripple amplitude with respect to the converter zero point decreases, and the ripple frequency increases. The product of ripple amplitude by frequency remains unchanged. It is assumed that the common point potential ripple of the motor multiphase winding with respect to the converter zero terminal results in the amplitude modulation of the space-time voltage vector. With increasing the number of winding phases, the modulation amplitude decreases, and the modulation frequency increases. A five-phase motor has a lower level of the working winding common point potential ripple with respect to the converter zero point in comparison with a three-phase motor. Thus, it can be assumed that there will be a lower level of electromagnetically induced vibration in using a simple converter operation algorithm. The obtained results can be used in designing electric traction systems with vector control on the basis of multiphase motors. With increasing the number of phases, the common point potential ripple amplitude in a multiphase winding with respect to the converter zero point decreases, and the ripple frequency increases. Thus, the common point potential ripple amplitude in a five-phase winding is 5/3 times less than that in a three-phase winding, and the ripple frequency increases by 5/3 times, respectively. With increasing the number of working winding phases, the amplitude modulation of the resulting space-time voltage vector decreases. This circumstance has a positive effect on decreasing the electromagnetically induced vibration.

This paper presents a space vector modulation strategy for a three-phase indirect matrix converter to reduce the common-mode voltage and maintain the output performance. To reduce the peak value of the common-mode voltage to 57.7% of the input phase voltage, three active voltage vectors are used to generate the desired output voltage with arbitrary amplitude and frequency, instead of using both active and zero voltage vectors as in the traditional space vector modulation strategy. Although the common-mode voltage is reduced, the output waveform quality of the three-phase indirect matrix converter deteriorates due to the absence of the zero voltage vectors. To overcome this problem, the proposed space vector modulation strategy is redesigned to control the rectifier stage of the indirect matrix converter by utilizing three active current vectors instead of two as usual. Consequently, the constant average dc-link voltage is achieved, which can improve the output performance in terms of the output voltage and current harmonic distortion. The simulation is implemented by PSIM software and experimental results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed space vector modulation strategy.

Bidirectional Power Flow

The multilevel indirect matrix converter (IMC) is a merit of power converter for feeding a three-phase load from three-phase power supply because it has several attractive features such as: Sinusoidal input/output currents, bidirectional power flow, long lifetime due to the absence of bulky electrolytic capacitors. As compared to the conventional IMC, the multilevel IMC provides high output performance by increasing the level of output voltage. In this paper, the novel approach topology of multilevel IMC by using the combination of the cascaded rectifier and the three-level T-Type inverter is introduced. Furthermore, the new space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) method for the presented multilevel IMC that eliminate the common-mode voltage is proposed in this paper. The simulation study is carried out in PSIM software to verify the proposed modulation method. Then, an experimental system is built using a three-phase RL load, a multilevel IMC, a DSP controller board and other elements to verify the effectiveness of the proposed modulation method. Some simulation and experimental results are illustrated to confirm the theory analysis.
