Abstract

Five-phase open-end winding permanent magnet synchronous motor (OEW-PMSM) fed by a dual inverter has gained increasing focus because of its advantages in voltage utilization, torque density and reliability. In this paper, an optimized modulation method with the sliding clamped strategy is proposed for the five-phase OEW-PMSM drive with a common DC bus. The conventional clamped strategies have a reduced switching sequence. However, the clamped inverter generates the zero-sequence voltage and third harmonic voltage, which would affect the performance of the motor. To solve this problem, the reference voltages in the proposed method are distributed by limiting the reference voltage of the clamped inverter on a line. And the reference voltage slides on this line bidirectionally. Therefore, the clamped inverter in the proposed method will not introduce additional harmonic components. For experimental verifications, the test results are presented with the resistance-inductance load and five-phase OEW-PMSM.
