This invention relates to the field of
motor control technology, particularly to applications requiring low vibration and high efficiency in
underwater propulsion motors. Specifically, it provides a method for suppressing low-order
harmonic torque and high-frequency
harmonic current in
underwater propulsion motors. This invention switches control
modes according to changes in the motor's
operating frequency, meeting not only the low-
noise requirements for low-speed navigation but also improving controller efficiency for high-speed navigation. When the
underwater propulsion motor operates at
low speed,
harmonic compensation of the
line current suppresses low-order
harmonics generated by the motor body and controller, thereby reducing electromagnetic force pulsation caused by
harmonics. Furthermore, by significantly increasing the
switching frequency using
silicon carbide power devices, it suppresses phase
voltage distortion caused by
pulse width modulation technology, improves the sinusoidal nature of the output
voltage, and reduces harmonic torque. When the underwater propulsion motor operates at high speed, the output current is large; by reducing the
switching frequency, the switching losses of the power devices are reduced, improving the efficiency of the controller in the propulsion
system.
