Novel space vector based current controllers for PWM-inverters

摘要

Two novel, simple control strategies for current-controlled pulse-width modulated (PWM) transistor inverters are presented. Both methods are based on the three-level hysteresis comparators which select appropriate inverter output voltage vectors via a switching electrically programmable read-only memory (EPROM) table. The first controller works with current components represented in a stationary coordinate system (AC components) and the second with components represented in a rotated (field-oriented) coordinate system (DC components). The theoretical principles of these methods are discussed. The results of a comparative study, which illustrates the performance of the proposed controller in comparison to the most popular scheme (based on three independent two-level hysteresis comparators), are presented.
