Abstract

The constant switching frequency space vector pulse width modulation (CSFSVPWM) generates high-frequency harmonics with integer multiples of the switching frequency, making it fail to fully exploit the potential of pulse width modulation (PWM) technique. In this paper, a variable switching frequency space vector pulse width modulation technique with the function of torque ripple prediction is proposed for induction motor drive system, which could optimize the high-frequency harmonic current distribution and torque ripple. The mathematical correlation between inverter average voltage and instantaneous voltage under the space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) is first analyzed, followed by the analysis of current ripple in a switching cycle using the typical seven-segment SVPWM, thus the torque ripple of induction motor during this period can be predicted. The switching period is dynamically adjusted according to the magnitude of predicted torque ripple, and the average switching frequency is maintained to be the same with that of CSFSVPWM. The effectiveness of the proposed method in suppressing high-frequency current harmonics and torque ripple is fully verified by experimenting on a 2.2 kW induction motor drive system, and a comprehensive comparison with CSFSVPWM and random PWM modulation is implemented.
