A Inverter Dead-time Compensation Method Based on Phase current Polarity Determination and Voltage Partitioning

The introduction of the dead time of the inverter solves the straight-arm conduction problem of the upper and lower power devices of the inverter, but also leads to the deviation of the actual output voltage of the inverter from the given voltage. Dead time increases the harmonic components of phase voltage and phase current, which is also an important factor leading to motor torque ripple. In this paper, the mechanism of the deviation of phase voltage and phase current caused by the dead time of voltage space vector modulation is analyzed, and the effect of dead time on phase voltage and phase current harmonic components is studied. A simple and effective dead time compensation method based on phase voltage division and phase current polarity determination is proposed to directly compensate the dead time. This method can suppress the current harmonic and torque ripple in the running state of the motor, and can greatly simplify the calculation process of the traditional dead time compensation method. Through the system modeling and simulation, it is verified that the method can significantly improve the current waveform distortion, and has good practical value.
