Pulse Pattern Generation for Motor Inverter Loss Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing pulse pattern generation devices for motor inverters effectively reduce iron loss but fail to minimize copper loss.
Innovation Solution
A pulse pattern generation device that calculates effective current and estimates iron loss to generate a pulse pattern using an evaluation function, incorporating weight adjustment coefficients to emphasize either effective current or iron loss reduction, thereby minimizing copper loss.

If the evaluation function includes both effective current and iron loss with weight adjustment coefficients, then both copper loss and iron loss can be reduced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The evaluation function incorporates dynamic weight adjustment coefficients (a and b) that can be modified based on operating conditions. This dynamic approach allows the system to adaptively balance between effective current and iron loss minimization, managing the complexity through flexibility rather than rigid fixed-weight structures
Solution Approach 2:
The weight adjustment coefficients are pre-configured or pre-optimized for different operating ranges. By establishing the weighting scheme in advance rather than calculating it in real-time during pulse generation, the system manages computational complexity while still achieving dual loss reduction
