This invention discloses a thirteen-segment
space vector modulation method for a nine-phase motor. Specifically, by fixing the switching transistors of three adjacent phase bridge arms inactive within each carrier cycle, the number of non-
zero voltage vectors is reduced from eight to six. This actively discards the
third harmonic space control degree of freedom while retaining the fundamental, fifth, and seventh
harmonic space
voltage regulation capabilities. It adapts to application scenarios with three sets of three-phase neutral point isolation, avoiding current
distortion and
torque ripple caused by
third harmonic currents. The method sequentially completes sector division judgment,
voltage vector decomposition, calculation of switching action time according to the
volt-second balance principle, and generation of bridge arm switching signals. It then synchronously inversely modulates the
voltage and modulation wave at fixed intervals, achieving alternating action of two discontinuous
PWM signals to balance device losses. This invention reduces computational load, allows for flexible control of
harmonic space voltage, effectively suppresses current
harmonics, and significantly improves
system power density, thermal management flexibility, and control efficiency.
