Direct Torque and Flux Control of a Four-Switch Three-Phase Inverter-Fed Synchronous Reluctance Motor Drives

摘要

This paper presents an application of direct torque and flux control (DTFC) for a four-switch three-phase inverter (FSTPI)-fed synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) in which the saturation and iron losses' effects are involved in the machine control modeling. The DTFC switching technique for the SynRM fed by FSTPI in low-power and low-cost applications is implemented by imitating the six-switch three-phase inverter (SSTPI). By considering equal effective vectors depicted in SSTPI, the αβ stationary reference frame is represented by using six sectors. Similarly, the voltage space vector formation is constructed in FSTPI. Accordingly the SynRM performance under DTFC is precisely analyzed by considering the saturation and iron losses' effects. The DTFC behavior based on SSTPI-and FSTPI-fed SynRM is evaluated using Simulink benchmark. At different operating conditions, further simulation and experimental results of DTFC based on FSTPI dynamically confirm the effectiveness of the proposed control application on the SynRM.
