Model Prediction and Pulse Optimal Modulation of Electrically Excited Synchronous Motor at Low Switching Frequency.

In this paper, in order to improve the control performance of a high-power electrically excited synchronous motor (EESM) under low switching frequency, and to improve the poor dynamic response of the traditional selective harmonic elimination pulse width modulation (SHEPWM) strategy, an optimized pulse width modulation (PWM) pulse mode with specific harmonic elimination and good dynamic performance is studied. Based on the fast response characteristics of predictive control, it combines the rolling time domain optimization theory with SHEPWM strategy. Firstly, the stator flux linkage of EESM is taken as the tracking target, and the real-time tracking error value of flux linkage is transformed into a voltage-second product; then, the predictive rolling time domain is established, the above error voltage-second product value is optimized in this time domain and the switching angle of SHEPWM is dynamically adjusted to minimize the stator tracking error so as to realize the dynamic adjustment of EESM at low switching frequency. Through MATLAB simulation and a 50 kW experimental platform, the optimized modulation strategy proposed in this paper has been verified to have good dynamic regulation performance at low switching frequency (≈500 Hz).
