Abstract
In this paper, a control method for motor drive system without electrolytic capacitor is proposed. Since dc-link capacitor of this motor drive is about 1% of the conventional one, it can satisfy the grid current regulation of IEC61000-3-2 without bulky filter circuits by directly controlling the electric output power of the inverter. However, dc-link voltage of this drive fluctuates as the rectified grid voltage. It causes higher motor current, especially at the low dc-link voltage area, and severely harms the drive efficiency. To solve this problem, proposed method keeps the dc-link voltage higher than certain limit while controlling the output power. It can improve the efficiency of the drive by lowering the d-axis current at low dc-link voltage area, with satisfying the regulation with small grid current harmonics. The proposed method includes the motor current reference generation for the limited dc-link voltage and selection of the limitation value. The improved performance of the proposed method was verified by the experimental results.
