Performance Improvement for PMSM DTC System through Composite Active Vectors Modulation

Abstract

In this paper, a novel direct torque control (DTC) scheme based on composite active vectors modulation (CVM) is proposed for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The precondition of the accurate compensations of torque error and flux linkage error is that the errors can be compensated fully during the entire control period. Therefore, the compensational effects of torque error and flux linkage error in different operating conditions of the PMSM are analyzed firstly, and then, the operating conditions of the PMSM are divided into three cases according to the error compensational effects. To bring the novel composite active vectors modulation strategy smoothly, the effect factors are used to represent the error compensational effects provided by the applied active vectors. The error compensational effects supplied by single active vector or synthetic voltage vector are analyzed while the PMSM is operated in three different operating conditions. The effectiveness of the proposed CVM-DTC is verified through the experimental results on a 100-W PMSM drive system.
