Development of a vector control system of the semiconductor converter, which will provide a polyharmonic operating mode of a polyphase electric machine

Abstract

A system for vector control of current in the circuit of a polyphase electric machine has been developed. For this, on the basis of the analysis of electromagnetic processes in a multiphase semiconductor converter of electrical energy, its discrete mathematical model was created, which takes into account the redistribution of electromagnetic energy by individual spatial harmonic components depending on the number of phases. Using this mathematical model and the scheme of injection of higher current harmonics, which provides a polyharmonic mode of operation of a semiconductor converter, a method for independent control of the spatial harmonic components of the input current of the converter has been developed. The formation in each of the phases of polyharmonic currents, conjugated in shape and phase with the voltage supplying the converter, is carried out by means of control actions in the form of voltage vectors of a semiconductor switch, the implementation of which is carried out by the method of multiphase space-vector modulation. To check the developed provisions, a simulation model of a nine-phase semiconductor converter of electrical energy with a vector control system was created. The results of the study of the model confirmed the adequacy of the developed technical solutions, the use of which will ensure the most complete realization of the own advantages of a multiphase electric machine in order to generally improve the weight, size and energy indicators of the autonomous power supply system.
