Abstract
In order to improve the grid current quality of the small dc-link capacitance (SDC) motor drives fed by three-phase diode rectifier, a grid current control method based on regulation of the rectifier current sixth harmonic is proposed in this paper. Considering the 120° maximum conduction angle of the rectifier diodes, a 120° rectangular waveform with low total harmonic distortion (THD) is selected as the grid current reference. Based on the relationship between the grid current and the rectifier current, the proposed scheme shapes the grid current into the selected 120° rectangular waveform by regulating the rectifier current sixth harmonic. In this way, the grid current THD of the SDC system is significantly reduced. Since the regulation of the rectifier current harmonic is independent of the speed and motor current control loops, the proposed method avoids the complicated controller and the cumbersome parameter tuning in the grid current control process. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
