Research on the Vector Control for Electromechanical Integrated Toroidal Drive

Electromechanical integrated toroidal drive is a new-style composite drive, it integrates power and drive function. The mathematic models in coordinate system of the drive were derived based on the operating principle of the drive. In order to improve the controllability of toroidal drive, a vector control system with matrix converter and modulation was presented, and the corresponding simulation model was built. The response of speed, torque and currents in vector control system was simulated. The results justify the better controllability with vector control system. The research is useful for further practical application of the novel drive.
