ABSTRACT:
Based on diode-assisted buck-boost inverter, this paper
proposes a new commutation torque ripple suppression strategy for brushless DC
motor (BLDCM). Four types of switching vectors are constructed, according to
the working pattern of the diode-assisted inverter and the operation mode of the
BLDCM. Moreover, the effects of switching vector combination on commutation
torque ripple suppression and motor speed regulation are analyzed in the
commutation and normal conduction periods, respectively. Based on this
analysis, the duration of switching vectors within each modulation cycle is derived
and the sequence of vectors is arranged at the same time in these two periods.
The proposed method can effectively suppress the commutation torque ripple over
the full speed range by unified switching vectors during the commutation
period, without needing to switch control strategies according to the speed
range. In addition, the increase of the voltage stress of switching devices in
the inverter bridge can be avoided by designing the duration and sequence of
switching vectors during the commutation and normal conduction periods. The effectiveness
of the presented method is validated by the experimental results.

CONCLUSION:
In this paper, a new commutation torque
ripple suppression strategy is proposed based on the diode-assisted boost-buck inverter.
This strategy has the following advantages:
1) The proposed method can effectively
improve the utilization of DC supply voltage, and it is promising for the industrial
applications supplied by low-voltage DC source such as fuel cell, lithium
battery, and photovoltaic array.
2) The commutation torque ripple over
the full speed range can be suppressed effectively under the proposed method, without
needing to switch control strategies according to the speed range.
3) By designing the duration and
sequence of the large vector, small vector and zero vector, the increase of the
voltage stress of switching devices in the inverter bridge can be avoided
during the commutation and normal conduction periods.
4) Compared with the methods of adding a
DC-DC converter, the proposed method can reduce the number of switches and
passive devices, which is beneficial to reduce the cost of drive system.
