Study on Series Control Method for Dual Three-Phase PMSM based on Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation

Decoupling control of two-motor dual three-phase permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) series-connected system can be realized by using proper phase transposition rules with a single supply from a six-phase voltage source inverter (VSI), which solved the control problem of two motors in series. Since the traditional two-vector SVPWM strategy, which is commonly used in three-phase system, exists 5 th and 7 th harmonics in x-y plane, making it hard to realize decoupling control of two-motor dual three-phase PMSM series-connected system. Meanwhile, the DC bus voltage utilization of carrier-based PWM strategy is lower. Thus one method, which adopted a TBTSB-SVPWM strategy with two modulators, was proposed in this paper. It ensures the inverter output voltage only contains two kinds of fundamental components required by the two seriesconnected motors with a single VSI, making it possible to realize decoupling control of two-motor dual three-phase PMSM series-connected system. Simulation results indicate that there is no influence on the other motor while the speed/load of any one motor changed, achieving the decoupling control of series-connected system, and the feasibility and validness of the proposed approach are verified.
