Abstract

In consideration of cost reduction, three-phase four-switch (TPFS) converters are applied in permanent magnet synchronous motor/generator (PMSM/G) drive application. However, the reduced number of active vectors has a negative influence on the signal waveform and the stator copper losses. With respect to the stator copper loss reduction, the root-mean-square (RMS) value of the stator copper loss ripple is chosen as a performance criterion in this paper. It is proved in this paper that the stator current ripple plays a more important role than the equivalent resistance in the copper loss ripples by double Fourier integral analysis. Thus, the RMS value of the stator current ripple can be applied as an analytical approach to evaluate the stator harmonic copper losses of the two proposed space vector modulation (SVM). Consequently, the proposed SVM strategy realizes the high-frequency stator copper loss ripple reduction. The experimental results demonstrate the validation of the proposed analysis.
