Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of power electronics, and relates to a boost topology and method, in particular to a topology and method for realizing boost based on a passive device auxiliary three-phase motor drive system. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of electric drive in industry and household appliances, built-in permanent magnet synchronous motor and its drive system are increasingly concerned.

[0003] Among all key technologies, due to the influence of back electromotive force of permanent magnet motor, voltage utilization rate becomes one of the most important factors affecting motor performance. Generally, the maximum output speed range of built-in permanent magnet synchronous motor drive is largely dependent on the DC bus voltage and its utilization rate. Therefore, it is crucial to improve the DC bus voltage utilization rate to expand the motor operating range.

[0004] To solve the problem of low voltage utilization and achieve a higher speed operating range, many methods have been proposed in recent years. Literature 1 [Literature 1 is V. Bist and B. Singh, "An adjustable-speed PFC bridgeless buck-boost converter-fed BLDC motor drive," IEEE Trans. Ind. Electron., vol. 61, no. 6, pp. 2665-2677, Jun. 2014. (Journal paper)] integrates the buck-boost conversion into the front-end power factor corrector, saves the cost at the same time, and achieves a wider operating range by adjusting the DC bus voltage. Literature 2 [Literature 2 is H. Matsumoto, Y. Neba, and H. Asahara, "Variable-form carrier-based PWM for boost-voltage motor driver with a charge-pump circuit," IEEE Trans. Ind. Electron., vol. 62, no. 8, pp. 4728-4738, Aug. 2015. (Journal paper)] uses the charge pump circuit of the super capacitor to control the power switch state in the proposed circuit, thereby generating different DC bus voltages. In literature 3 [Literature 3 is Y. S. Lin, K. W. Hu, T. H. Yeh, and C. M. Liaw, "An electric-vehicle IPMSM drive with interleaved front-end DC / DC converter," IEEE Trans. Veh. Technol., vol. 65, no. 6, pp. 4493-4504, Jun. 2016. (Journal paper)], the motor driver uses an interleaved bidirectional DC / DC converter. The converter can increase the DC bus voltage according to the operating conditions of the motor, while also allowing power transmission to the battery. Although these methods increase the DC bus voltage, thereby expanding the operating range of the permanent magnet motor, these solutions require additional hardware support, especially power electronic switches, and the use of these active devices reduces the reliability of the system, limiting their applications. SUMMARY

[0005] OBJECTIVES

[0006] To solve the problem of low voltage utilization, and achieve higher speed operating range, usually use boost and buck circuit with power switch tube to achieve. But this will increase the cost of the system, and the damaged active device reduces the reliability of the system. The present application makes full use of the power switch device of the AC motor driver, without additional power switch device, saves cost, and increases the reliability of the system. At the same time, the control method proposed in the application does not affect the normal operation of the motor while boosting. By boosting operation, the voltage utilization of the motor is increased, and the speed of the motor is improved.

The three terminals of one end of the three auxiliary inductors are shorted together to form a common terminal and are connected to the positive pole of the power supply, and the three terminals of the other end are connected to the three-phase output terminals of the motor inverter. At the same time, a current sensor is placed between the positive pole of the power supply and the common terminal of the three auxiliary inductors.

[0009] A method for realizing motor self-boosting operation by using passive device auxiliary motor drive based on the above topology structure, comprising the following steps:

[0010] Step 1: floating capacitor voltage outer loop control

[0011] From Figure 1 According to the topology structure, the floating capacitor and the power supply are connected in series to supply power to the inverter. The given value of the floating capacitor voltage is calculated according to the target voltage of the motor required for boosting operation. The voltage of the floating capacitor is used as the outer loop feedback value for closed loop operation. The given value and the feedback value of the floating capacitor voltage are compared, and the target charging current of the auxiliary inductor is calculated through PI regulation.

[0012] Step 2: auxiliary inductor current inner loop control

[0013] The sum of the currents flowing through the three auxiliary inductors is used as the inner loop feedback value for closed loop control. The target charging current of the auxiliary inductor in step 1 and the inner loop feedback value are compared, and the action time difference of two zero vectors V 000 and V 111 is calculated through PI regulation, so as to calculate the compensation amount ΔK of the comparison value, as shown in formula (1):

[0015] Where: T0 is the zero vector V 000T7 is zero vector V 111 T7 is zero vector V s T7 is zero vector V

[0016] Step three: comparison value compensation

[0017] The motor uses the normal seven-segment vector control method to calculate the comparison value, and the carrier of PWM is set to the increment-decrement mode. The PWM comparison value K A , K B , K C is calculated

[0018]

[0019] K A ', K B ', K C ' are the comparison values of the compensated A, B, and C three-phase PWM waves, respectively.

[0020] The compensated comparison values K A ', K B ', K C ' are used to generate the corresponding PWM waves to control the action of the inverter power switching elements, realizing the voltage boost operation of the motor.

[0021] Advantages

[0022] Compared with the previous motor voltage boost operation method, this method has the following advantages:

[0023] (1) In the proposed topology, the power switching devices in the original motor inverter are fully utilized without the need for additional power switching devices. Cost is saved, and system reliability is increased.

[0024] (2) In the proposed control method, the regulation of inductor current only needs to change the difference in the action time of zero voltage vector, without changing the action time of effective voltage vector. Therefore, the performance of the motor is not affected.

[0025] (3) By controlling the voltage of the suspension capacitor, the maximum speed of the motor can be extended to twice the base speed. Voltage utilization is increased, and the speed of the motor is improved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The application will be further described below in combination with the embodiments. Given the power supply voltage is 25V, the specified motor operating voltage is 50V, at this time, the power supply needs to charge the suspension capacitor to 25V.

[0031] Step 1: according to the topology connection as Figure 1 The given value of the suspension capacitor is set to 25V. At the beginning of operation, the voltage of the suspension capacitor is zero, at this time the difference between the given value and the feedback value is 25V, after PI adjustment, the target value of the auxiliary inductor is I set .

[0032] Step 2: At the beginning of operation, the current flowing through the three auxiliary inductors is 0, at this time, the I set calculated in step 1 is compared with the inner loop feedback value, and through PI adjustment, the action time difference of two zero vectors V 000 and V 111 is calculated, at this time the difference is large, so the action time T0 of V 000 is greater than the action time T7 of V 111 . Assuming that at this time, the action time of the two zero voltage vectors and T zero accounts for 40% of T s , T0 accounts for 70% of T zero , and T7 accounts for 30% of T zero . Using formula (1), ΔK = 0.08K can be calculated.

[0033] Step 3: Assuming that the motor is compared with the normal seven-segment vector control method, the traditional seven-segment vector control PWM waveform is shown in Figure 2 (a). Using the ΔK calculated in step 2 combined with formula (2) for compensation, the compensated PWM waveform is shown in Figure 2 (b).

[0034] Using the compensated comparison values K A ', K B ', and K C ' to generate corresponding PWM waves to control the action of the inverter power switching elements and achieve motor control.
