I. INTRODUCTION

Multi-phase (more than 3-phases) Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (M-PMSM) have been studied for a long time. But it is only recently that they have attracted a considerable amount of interest in the research community and industry worldwide [1]. M-PMSM is useful for large systems such as ship of electrical propulsion, locomotive traction or electrical vehicles applications, because it has the many advantages over conventional 3-phases such as reducing the amplitude of torque pulsation, lowering the DC link current harmonics, higher reliability and decreasing the current stress of switching devices [2]-[8]. Likewise, when one of the power switches or windings is faulted, the average torque loss is less than conventional motors [3]. In case of high-capacity M-PMSM, composition of inverter system is possible by switching devices of small capacity, since the controlled power is divided on several inverter legs [9][10].

Characteristics of Independent Multi-phase Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (IM-PMSM) are similar to M-PMSM, but the control concept is considerably different. IM-PMSM's utility factor of voltage is higher than M-PMSM. Although failure of any one phase-drive unit does degrade motor performance somewhat, the urgency of immediate repairs is reduced since system shutdown is not required [11].

Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) to control motors generate harmonics due to dead-time and nonlinear characteristics of the switching devices and etc. The dead-time problem of the conventional 3-phases machine

has already been investigated in the several technical literatures, and various solutions have been tried [23].

Therefore, in this paper, not only vector control method based on a multiple d-q-n spaces concept but also a new dead-time compensation method are proposed to reduce the harmonics due to the dead time and nonlinear characteristics of the switching devices. The simulation and experimental results are presented to verify the proposed methods.

by the following three-dimensional (3-D) complex space vector as shown in (5) and (6). d-axis is real axis, q-axis is a imaginary axis. d-q axes are related to output torque, but n-axis which is at right angle to both ds axis and qs

Because Y-connected motors do not have (6n ± 3)thharmonics which in-phase at the each phase [12][13], not only sum of each phase variable, but also n-axis is always zero. However, independent-connected motor has (6n ± 3)th harmonics which in-phase at the each phase. Therefore, sum of each phase variable is not always zero, and then n-axis is not always zero.

used to control three-phase motors [24][25]. SVPWM can apply to IS-PMSM. Switching equation given to (8) because two switches in one pole between poles of H-bridge are alternately operated as (9). Moreover, the number of output voltage vectors is 729(36) as shown in TABLE I and Fig. 6 because there are 24 switches in the inverter as shown in Fig. 2.

However, because IS-PMSM's back-EMFs are continuous, if voltage vectors which are discontinuous and smaller than maximum magnitude (4/3)Vdc are removed, voltage vectors can be rearranged for 6 active voltage vectors and 2 zero voltage vectors as shown in TABLE II and Fig. 7.

Fig. 8. Switching signals when d-q axes reference voltage vector is located in sector 1

There is a problem that switching signals are necessarily discontinued during one sampling period in all sectors as shown in Fig. 8. So in this paper, unipolar SPWM is used to control IS-PMSM. In case of M-PMSM, utility factor of voltage of SPWM approach 61.2% of the DC link voltage (compared to SVPWM’s 70.7%) in the linear modulation range [24], because maximum phase voltage is (k-1/k)Vdc (but only under the condition of that k is phase-number and Vdc is DC link voltage). But in case of IS-PMSM, utility factor of voltage of SPWM approach 70.7% because maximum phase voltage is Vdc.So SPWM is more suitable for IS-PMSM. Output voltage (Vout) frequency of a unipolar SPWM becomes double when compared to fundamental frequency because Vout is twice a period of the carrier waveform as shown in Fig. 9. Therefore, THD (Total Harmonic Distortion), iron loss and current pulsation are lower than bipolar SPWM [16].

III. ANALYSIS OF VOLTAGE DISTORTION OF PWM INVERTER

In PWM VSI, there is voltage distortion caused by dead-time and nonlinear characteristics of the switching devices. Also the clamping phenomenon of current around zero crossing point, called Zero-Current-Clamping (ZCC), affects voltage distortion because the phase current flows through the bottom/top diode during the dead-time [25]. It is convenient to analyze the dead-time effects from one phase leg of the inverter and extend the results to the other phase legs [21]. In case of Y-connection, Fig. 10 shows the average voltage distortion based on dead-time, turn-on/off delay time of switching devices and sampling period. Independent-connection of IS-PMSM is shown in Fig. 11.

V. SIMULATION RESULT

The proposed compensation method is simulated when distortion element is inserted into IS-PMSM at the rotor speed is 100[rpm]. Fig. 15 shows simulation waveform. Distortion of phase current is improved after start of compensation and maximum value of phase current is reduced. As known from Fig. 15 (b) and (c), the currents of the synchronous reference frame have no ripple component. The A phase current harmonics spectrum by FFT are shown in Fig. 16. After compensation, THD decreases from 26.1% to 0.1% because (6n ± 3)thharmonics are dispersed.

VI. EXPERIMENTAL

In this paper, inverter set and IS-PMSM were made-up as Fig. 17 and 18 to verify the proposed compensation method.

Because voltage distortion at a low speed range is severer than that at a high speed range [21], the experimental tests have been performed at 100[rpm]. IS-PMSM's pole number is 48, so fundamental electrical frequency is 40Hz. The dead time is configured at 2[us], and turn-on/off delay time of the used switching devices in the inverter are 35[ns] and 2.0~2.9[ns], respectively.

Fig. 17. Configuration of the system

As known from Fig. 19, phase current is the perfect sinusoidal waveform and maximum value of phase current is reduced after start of compensation. Fig. 21 shows the A-phase current harmonics spectrum by FFT. After compensation, (6n ± 3)th harmonics disappear. This means that the distorted current and voltage waveforms are completely compensated by using the proposed compensation algorithm.

VII. CONCLUSIONS

In this paper, vector control method based on a multiple d-q-n spaces concept for IS-PMSM (Independent Six-phase Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) and compensation algorithm for current distortion caused by dead-time and nonlinear characteristics of the switching devices were proposed. The proposed compensation algorithm uses the zero sequence component of d-q-n reference frame transformation as the input signal of the compensator.

This algorithm doesn’t require any additional hardware, the other information except magnitude of the phase current and position of rotor for reference frame transformation, complicated mathematical calculation and off-line experimental measurements. Moreover, this

algorithm can be easily implemented, and applied to not only the steady state but also transient state.

All these are verified through the several simulation and experiments.
