Abstract
This paper presents a direct instantaneous torque control (DITC) of Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) with a novel 4-level converter to develop a uniform torque and to improve a dynamic performance. The DITC method can reduce a high torque ripple of SRM. Drive efficiency and dynamic performance with conventional drive are low due to a slow excitation current build-up. Since the 4-level converter can obtain an addition boosted voltage to have a fast excitation and demagnetization, it can Improve dynamic performance and efficiency easily. To apply the DITC technique to a 4-level converter, a novel control scheme is presented according to the operating modes. Additionally, selection of capacitances of boosted capacitor and efficiency improvement of 4-level converter are analyzed. At last, the validity of proposed method is verified by some computer simulations md comparative experiments.
본 논문에서는 토오크 맥동을 줄이고 동특성 및 효율을 개선하기 위해 새로운 4-레벨 콘버터 이용한 DITC SRM 구동방식을 제안하였다. 4-레벨 콘버터는 콘덴서의 전압을 이용하여 여자 및 감자 시 높은 전압을 인가하여 여자특성을 개선할 수 있는 장점을 가진다. 본 논문에서는 DITC의 동특성 개선을 위해 사용된 4-레벨 콘버터의 동작특성과 부스트 전압에 따른 효율 개선에 대해 해석하였다. 이를 통해 제안된 SRM을 위한 4-레벨 콘버터의 DITC 제어기법을 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 검증하였다.
