A Novel Vector Control of Five-phase PMSM Based on Harmonic Current Closed Loop

Multi-phase electric machines such as five-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) play an important role in the ships electrical propulsion because of the advantages of high performance and high reliability. The decoupled mathematic models of five-phase PMSM in dq coordinate frame are established, and the reason caused to high stator harmonic current in the multi-phase motor is analyzed based on the mathematic models. To suppress the harmonic current, a novel vector control (VC) method based on SVPWM and harmonic current closed loop control is proposed. Based on the proposed algorithm, a five-phase PMSM vector control system is established with MATLAB, the performance is simulated and analyzed. The results show that, the stator harmonic current is much little than that of the traditional control method.
