An adaptive dead-time compensation strategy for voltage source inverter fed motor drives

This paper presents an adaptive dead-time compensation strategy to obtain fundamental phase voltage for inverter fed vector controlled permanent magnet synchronous motor drives. The amplitude of phase dead-time compensation voltage (DTCV) to compensate disturbance voltage due to undesirable characteristics of inverter, such as dead-time, turn-on/off time of switching devices, and on-voltages of switching devices and diodes is adaptively determined according to a dead-time compensation time (DTCT). DTCT is identified on-line with using a /spl delta/-axis disturbance voltage in the current reference frame that is synchronized with current vector. The /spl delta/-axis disturbance voltage is estimated by a disturbance observer. The accuracy of identified DTCT is experimentally confirmed by calculating the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) between a calculated active power and a measured one. MAPE for adaptive DTCT is almost within 5% at any operating point.
