In traditional motor drive system, large volume electrolytic capacitors are utilized to buffer energy and stabilize the dc-link voltage. However, these capacitors affect the reliability of the drives and narrow the conduction angle of diode-rectifier. As a result, the grid side current is distorted and the power factor is deteriorated. In order to settle these issues, small dc-link capacitors can replace the electrolytic capacitors. In this paper, a motor torque control method with dc-link voltage feed-forward compensation for an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) drive system is proposed. Hence, an integration multi-resonant (I-MR) controller is established to regulate the motor torque to obtain high input power factor and low grid current harmonics. In addition, a voltage feed-forward compensation is used to diminish the error of motor torque control. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through simulation and experiments. Results indicate that the input power factor can reach about 99.4% and the grid current harmonics are considerably lower than the requirement of EN-61000-3-2 standard.INDEX TERMS IPMSM, small dc-link capacitor, high power factor, Torque control, integration multiresonant controller, voltage feed-forward compensation.
With large input line inductance and low dc‐link capacitance, the small dc‐link drive system shows an instability problem, which is mainly caused by LC resonance between the line side inductor and the dc‐link film capacitor. This paper proposes a grid current feedback active damping control method to improve system stability and suppress the LC resonance. The feedback variables are analyzed, and the detected grid current is selected. Thus, the damping current is consistent with the LC resonance components in grid current, which benefits the drive system power factor and grid current quality. Furthermore, the grid current feedback control loop has been established, and the feedback gain is designed based on system parameters that can be adjusted to fit different systems. The stability margin and robustness of the drive system to the changes in line inductance and dc‐link capacitance are improved. Compared with the conventional voltage‐based damping method, the power factor is increased to 0.984 and the grid current harmonics are reduced to satisfy the requirements of EN61000‐3‐2. The effectiveness of the proposed active damping method is verified by the experimental results.
