Electric drives often do not have a smooth torque. In most cases they are coupled with mechanical systems. These tend to have natural frequencies. Therefore, it is advisable to eliminate harmonics from the torque pulsation if they are close to a natural frequency. One possibility to do this is harmonic current injection or HCI for short. However, the question arises, how exactly this harmonic current should be. The fact that a harmonic in the torque can be influenced by the d and q current results in a greater degree of freedom. This paper presents a method to investigate all possible solutions. Furthermore, two optimization possibilities for the current trajectory are presented. The effect of this selection on the maximum torque speed curve is shown. It has been found that the method which minimizes the induced voltage achieves an up to 8% larger range of application in this example.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
