Abstract
Permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) are usually controlled using two-level inverters. The output voltage of the inverter is in the form of the switching pulses between the positive DC-bus voltage and the negative DC-bus voltage. Such voltage waveforms have several adverse effects on the motor. These include, higher stress on winding insulation, higher eddy current losses and acoustic noise. Thus, to overcome these problems, different types of filters, typically LC-filters are used between the inverter and motor terminals to smooth the pulse width modulation (PWM) output voltages of the motor drives. Theoretically, the inductance and capacitance used for the filters are considered identical in each phase. However, in a practical scenario, it is difficult to have identical filter elements for all three phases. This non-ideal condition of filter elements amongst the three phases is considered as filter unbalance. This thesis investigates the impacts of filter unbalance on the PMSM drive system. Specifically, a comprehensive model of the motor drive system considering filter unbalance is proposed and developed at first. With the developed model, conventional field oriented control (FOC) is implemented to investigate the impact of this filter unbalance. A range of filter parameter variation and the corresponding impact on the motor drive including the motor current, torque and speed ripples is then studied in detail. Thereafter, the results obtained from the proposed model are validated through both circuit simulations and experimental tests.
Based on the investigation results, this thesis will discuss the allowable parameter variation in the LC filters to limit the motor performance deterioration within the required bounds, which will be beneficial to engineering practice in motor drive area. In addition, this investigation shows that a conventional FOC with proportional integral (PI) controller might not be capable of mitigating the negative impact on the motor due to filter unbalance, for example,
the negative sequence current. Therefore, this thesis implemented an adaptive proportional resonant (PR) controller to address negative sequence current and the corresponding impacts. A detailed mathematical framework to develop this proposed controller will also be presented in the thesis. Finally, the proposed adaptive PR controller is extensively evaluated on a laboratory PMSM drive system under different operating conditions.
