Abstract

AbstractAiming at the output current distortion problem in the low frequency operation of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive system of modular multilevel converter (MMC), the essential relationship between the output current distortion and the injected components is analyzed in this paper. A current harmonic suppression method combining feedforward and feedback compensation is proposed. Firstly, the feedback control method is applied to transform the MMC three‐phase output current into the dq rotating coordinate system at fundamental frequency ω. The harmonics of the AC terms to be suppressed are filtered out. The dominant fundamental frequency component turned into the DC term is retained. Then combined with feedforward control, the control performance of the system is improved. Secondly, the deadbeat predictive current control is improved by introducing an integral link in it. System disturbances caused by parameter changes can be compensated in real time. The design of the control system is simplified and the static error is reduced. Meanwhile, the system has the advantages of small torque pulsation and fast speed response. Finally, the PMSM drive system model of the 11‐level MMC is built in MATLAB/Simulink. The correctness and effectiveness of the proposed suppression method are verified.
