Research On Synchronized Svpwm Strategies Under Low Switching Frequency For Six-Phase Vsi-Fed Asymmetrical Dual Stator Induction Machine

In high-power traction drive systems, the switching frequency of the inverter is strictly limited owing to the restrictions on switching losses and cooling conditions. In this case, the multimode modulation strategy is usually adopted. Based on the analysis of a modified 24-sector space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) technique, several synchronous modulation strategies with different pulse numbers are proposed in this paper, which can be applied to the two-level six-phase voltage-inverterfed asymmetrical dual-stator induction machines. By comparing the harmonic performance of the synchronized modulations, the authors present a set of multimode SVPWM strategy, which is suitable for the high-power traction drive systems under low switching frequency. At the same time, the switching strategy for transitions between different modulation modes is proposed as well. Simulation and experimental results verify the validity and effectiveness of the proposed synchronized modulation strategies and the switching strategy between different modulation modes.
