A Mixed SVPWM Technique for Three-Phase Current Reconstruction With Single DC Negative Rail Current Sensor

The single current sensor operation (SCSO) has attracted widespread attention in the motor drive system because of its ability to reduce cost and volume. However, when the SCSO is used with the conventional space vector puleswidth modulation (SVPWM) technique, the current reconstruction unobservable area in the sector boundary and low modulation area will degrade the accuracy of sampling data. In this article, a mixed SVPWM (MSVPWM) control scheme is proposed to eliminate the unobservable area. With the proposed scheme, the zero vectors (
${{{\bm V}}_{{\rm {0}}}}$
and
${{{\bm V}}_{{\rm {7}}}}$
) are replaced by the complementary effective vectors to achieve the same effect in the sector boundary and low modulation area, and the SVPWM is applied to the remaining space vector plane. These inserted effective vectors make the current observation window time prolonged to ensure that the dc-link current data can be accurately acquired in the entire space vector plane. Hence, the high-quality reconstruction of the phase current can be realized with less impact on the output of current ripples and reconstruction errors. Moreover, the relationship between the rotation speed and the increase in switching losses under different switching frequencies is quantitatively analyzed. The effectiveness of the MSVPWM reconstruction algorithm was verified by experimental results obtained from a permanent-magnet synchronous servo motor.
