Performance evaluation of interior permanent magnet synchronous machines using deadbeat-direct torque flux control in an indirect matrix converter with a reactor free boost converter

Abstract

This paper discusses the performance of an interior permanent magnet synchronous machine by using deadbeat-direct torque flux control (DB-DTFC) in a hybrid power circuit structure, which consists of an indirect matrix converter (IMC) and a reactor free boost converter (RFBC). The first section of this paper documents the performance of DB-DTFC when carrier comparison PWM and space vector modulation (SVM) are used as modulation techniques. Corresponding Volt-sec solutions for each modulation technique are shown via simulation and experiments. The second section discusses DB-DTFC properties in the proposed IMC/RFBC circuit. The results demonstrate that DB-DTFC is capable of delivering fast dynamic torque response in one sample period even when (i) variable switching frequency is applied in the inverter of the IMC and (ii) DC offset current occurs in the output current of the IMC.
