The Voltage Phase Control Strategy for Six-Step Operation in SPMSM Drives Considering the 6/12-Order Torque Ripple

Abstract

In order to reduce switching frequency and achieve maximum utilization rate of DC-link voltage, traditional voltage phase controller realizes six-step operation via an integrator in SPMSM drives. However, it is not able to achieve a good torque performance in steady state and transient state at the same time, due to the integral saturation problem and bandwidth limit of the integrator. By analyzing the effects of the 6/12-order torque ripple, this paper claims that the 6/12-order torque ripple derived from six-step operation directly limits the bandwidth of control system. Thus, a model-based voltage phase controller is proposed in this paper to replace the integrator. The proposed method can obtain a faster torque response in transient state as well as a good torque performance in steady state. Finally, some simulation results are also given to verify the correctness and feasibility of proposed method.
