Abstract: This paper presents a FPGA-based virtual motor drive system featuring two Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine (PMSM) drives made with two-level IGBT/GTO inverters model with full fault capability. The inverters are implemented on the FPGA with a nodal solver, using floating point arithmetic, and support individual component faults, like a single IGBT open fault, as well as other non-standard modes, like cases with no IGBT gate signals and natural rectification. The motor model can be either linear d-q models or Finite Element Analysis models from JMAG-RT. The virtual motor drives are implemented on a Virtex-6 FPGA card and have a total latency near 1µs from the IGBT gate signal capture at Digital Inputs to motor currents at Analog Outputs and are therefore well adapted for HIL tests with high-speed machine with either PWM (up to 100 kHz) or hysteretic current control. Finally, the paper presents experimental accuracy validation made by a TIER-1 supplier for hybrid electric vehicle in Japan.

Abstract: We present a feasibility study of low-voltage drives based on double-side cooled power modules. A novel press-pack module was developed and an inverter was built up subsequently. The drive was benchmarked with a 400 kW AC industrial inverter. A significant increase of the current density and output power was achieved.

 
   High efficiency drive system with 3-level T-type inverter

Abstract: In this paper an efficiency optimized variable speed drive is presented. It consists of the alternative T-type converter topology which is very efficient for low switching frequencies and a standard induction machine. The total system efficiency is optimized concerning the converter losses as well as fundamental and harmonic machine losses.
