Novel vector control system using deadbeat-controlled PWM inverter with output LC filter

This paper proposes a novel high-performance vector control system of an ac motor using a low-switching-frequency (2 kHz) pulsewidth-modulation voltage-source inverter with an output LC filter. Excellent high-speed response characteristics of the LC filter output voltage have been realized using a novel deadbeat control algorithm. As for the experimental results, the torque current response that is similar to the response of the conventional system without an LC filter has been obtained. In addition, it has been confirmed by simulation that errors of the LC filter constants within /spl plusmn/10% can be permitted.
