Abstract

This article first proposes a generalized decomposition model for dual three-phase (3-ph) permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) with 0°, 30°, and 60° angle displacements between two sets of windings, allowing machines controlled in two-dimensional orthogonal αβ and xy subspaces. This model can decouple mutual inductances coupling phases from two sets, respectively. However, there often exist asymmetric impedances, due to inherent asymmetric machine parameters, cables with unequal lengths, manufacture tolerances, etc., in dual 3-ph PMSMs inevitably causing unbalanced phase currents and deteriorating the decoupling performance of the generalized machine model. Therefore, the generalized decomposition model incorporating asymmetric impedances is further developed, in which additional terms incurred by asymmetric impedances lead to the cross-coupling of αβ subspace and xy subspace. Through this model, the compensation capability of asymmetries is derived at a given dc link voltage. Then, a compensation strategy is illustrated to suppress unbalanced phase currents together with current harmonics caused by nonlinearities. Finally, experimental results testify the current balancing performance and simulation results further validate the machine model and the compensation capability.
