A new adaptive dead time compensation method for dual three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor

This paper proposes a new adaptive dead time compensation method for dual three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motors with two sets of three-phase windings spatially shifted by 30 electrical degrees. The stator resistance and leakage inductance are the only 5th and 7th harmonic impedances in the dual three-phase motor, which leads to a more pronounced current distortion due to dead time in the dual three-phase motor than in the three-phase motor. Therefore, dead-time compensation has significant implications for the application of dual three-phase motors. In this paper, the minimum value tracking algorithm is used to adjust the compensation voltage amplitude adaptively, and the compensation voltages are added to the output reference voltage in stationary frames. The proposed computation method has some significant advantages, such as simple implementation without additional hardware, easy mathematical computations, and no offline experimental measurements. Simulation results are provided to validate the performance of the proposed method. (c) 2023 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd.
