Abstract
To address the inability of the asymmetric half-bridge converter to enable multilevel operation of switched reluctance motors(SRMs)
a T
-type three-phase four-leg converter(TTFC)is proposed.For an n-phase motor
the proposed converter is composed of 2
n
+4 power switches
with no power diodes required.The proposed converter is developed from a three-phase four-leg converter(TFC)
with the neutral point
N
of the TFC connected to the midpoint
N
'of the DClink capacitor through a T-type circuit.All conduction modes of the TFC can be realized by the proposed converter
and multilevel output can also be achieved by controlling the two power switches connected between the converter neutral point
N
and the DC-link capacitor midpoint
N
'.Based on the operating states of the proposed converter
regional current chopping control(RCCC)and direct instantaneous torque control(DITC)schemes are designed.Experimental verification is performed on a 750 W
12/8 three-phase SRM.It is shown by the experimental results that
compared with the conventional asymmetric half-bridge converter and three-phase four-leg converter
better torque-ripple suppression under steady-state conditions
a shorter settling time during dynamic operation
and higher motor efficiency are achieved by the proposed converter combined with the RCCC and DITC schemes.
