Figure1.StructureofOW-PMSMdrivesystem. 2.1.WindingModeFeaturesAnalysis First,wewilldiscusspowersource limitationsonwindingmodes. Indifferentwindingmodes, themaximumamplitudeof eachwinding’sphasevoltage isdifferent and theconnectionbetween eachphase isdifferent too,which leads to adifference inbasic voltagevectors’ amplitude. When thewindingmodeisstaror independent,acertainphasevoltagecannotbedeterminedaccordingto the corresponding inverter bridge’s switching status andwill be influenced by inverter bridges’ switching status of other phases due to the load neutral point in star mode and themid-point potentialdifference in independentmodefloating. For instance, instarmode,wheninverterswitch statusesare (110) (phaseAandBupperbridgearmon,phaseClowerbridgearmon),phasevoltage relations:uA=uB=Vdc/3,uC=−2Vdc/3;whenswitchstatusesare (100),phasevoltagerelations: uA = 2Vdc/3, uB=uC=−Vdc/3. It can be seen that, althoughphaseA’s corresponding inverter bridge’sswitchstatusesare thesameinbothsituations,owingto the loadneutralpoint’sfluctuation in starmode, phase voltages uA in both situations are different. Using the schematic diagramof mid-pointvoltage inFigure2,wecananalyzevoltagevectors.Wefirstequallydividepowersource 1andpowersource2 into twopartsaccording tovoltage todeterminevirtualmid-pointsmandn.
