A Common DC Bus Circulating Current Suppression Method for Motor Emulators of New Energy Vehicles

In contrast to the conventional topology, wherein the Device Under Test (DUT) controller and the electric motor emulator (EME) are powered by the DC (Direct Current) voltage source independently, the common DC bus topology necessitates a single power supply. This reduces the cost and complexity of t...

description In contrast to the conventional topology, wherein the Device Under Test (DUT) controller and the electric motor emulator (EME) are powered by the DC (Direct Current) voltage source independently, the common DC bus topology necessitates a single power supply. This reduces the cost and complexity of the motor emulator system, making it more favorable for large-scale industrial applications. However, this topology introduces significant circulating current issues in the system. A common DC bus circulating current suppression method is proposed in this paper for the motor emulator. First, the mechanism of zero-sequence circulating current generation in the common DC bus topology is analyzed and the expression for the system’s zero-sequence voltage difference is derived. Then, a control method based on a Hybrid PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) strategy that unifies SPWM (SIN Pulse Width Modulation) and SVPWM (Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation) is proposed, which has been shown to be effective in suppressing the zero-sequence circulating current in a motor emulator system with a common DC bus topology. The proposed control method has been experimentally validated using a motor emulator system.
