A novel SVM-based hysteresis current controller

Abstract

In this paper, a novel space-vector-modulation (SVM)-based hysteresis current controller (HCC) is proposed. This technique utilizes all advantages of the HCC and SVM technique. The controller determines a set of space vectors from a region detector and applies a space vector selected according to the main HCC. A set of space vectors including the zero vector to reduce the number of switchings is determined from the sign of the output frequency and output signals of three comparators with a little larger hysteresis band than that of the main HCC. A simple hardware implementation is proposed, and experimental results of the SVM-based HCC are also shown.
