PMSMs are widely used in many areas including Electric Vehicle (EV). The needs for PMSMs are consistently increasing in spite of its high cost because of its high efficiency. PMSM drive has advantages in low speed because it doesn't need excitation current. But in high speed operation, this characteristic serves as disadvantage and it needs additional currents to reduce the magnetic flux from permanent magnets. This current makes additional losses such as copper loss of the machine and the inverter loss. And these losses cause efficiency drop of the entire drive system. So, it is possible to increase efficiency by making this current low. In this paper, the method which makes lower back-EMF by splitting motor is proposed. By splitting stator, field weakening current is reduced because flux linkage between rotor and stator is reduced. In the split of the machine slots, there are many candidates according to the split ratio. This paper analyzes the efficiency considering both machine and inverter losses simultaneously in the various split. This proposed method is also evaluated by experiments.","PeriodicalId":236136,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 7th International Power Electronics and Motion Control Conference","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134015044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The DC voltage levels of the cascaded H-bridge converter are assumed variables, hence increasing the degrees of freedom in the formulation of the problem. This approach allows additional harmonics to be controlled when compared to the existing family of SHE-based multilevel control for the same converter configuration. The proposed modulation method also shows an interesting feature of fixed switching angles across the entire range of the modulation index, which alleviates the problem of online implementation. The proposed method solely relies on the availability of the variable DC voltage levels, which can be obtained by different topologies. For simplicity, a DC/DC buck converter is utilized in this paper to provide a variable DC voltage levels required by the H-bridges of the five-level converter. The STATCOM system is integrated with a current controller along with a voltage control loop for the buck converter to meet the reactive power demand of different loading conditions. The method is further compared with the conventional carrier-based pulse width modulation (CB-PWM) to show its improved characteristics. The effectiveness and the theoretical analysis of the proposed approach and validated through simulation studies.","PeriodicalId":236136,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 7th International Power Electronics and Motion Control Conference","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131703061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
