Consideration of motor control responses during voltage saturation of PWM inverter

Abstract

During the voltage saturation of a PWM inverter driving a motor, the torque control characteristics of the motor deteriorate because the controller can control only the phase of the output voltage. The cross-coupling current control scheme is a control scheme for motors, and it can be used to shift from the variable voltage mode to the voltage saturation mode seamlessly, and vice versa. This paper shows numerical simulation results and the torque response when the control scheme is used during voltage saturation. © 2010 the Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.
