Abstract
Current-source inverter is considered as a promising candidate in the permanent-magnet synchronous machine drive system for its superior current waveforms and inherent capability of withstanding the short-circuit failure. However, the resonance issue is yielded, resulting from the paralleling of machine inductances and filter capacitors. Very limited control bandwidth can be retained if only considering the passive damping of winding resistance. In this article, the decoupled active damping current controller in the synchronous frame is investigated. The impedance analysis is performed to make a more intuitive demonstration on the damping mechanism, which reveals that the virtual impedance is not always linearly correlated with the damping gain. The digital delay is crucial for the accurate assessment on the damping effectiveness, and the <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">z</i> -domain discrete model is established to emulate the real circumstance. The quantified analysis is performed on deriving the stable boundaries of controller parameters. The frequency responses and root trajectories are illustrated to validate the conclusions. The optimized parameters are obtained by the proposed tuning procedure, which realizes a balance between the damping effect and the bandwidth performance. Finally, the experiments are performed to verify the proposed control schemes.
