Abstract:This paper proposes a modulation method that can significantly reduce the ripple current and power loss of the DC-link capacitor of multi-drive systems. It is based on a derived analytical model for capacitor ripple current with an arbitrary number of drives connected in parallel at the DClink side. Both the low-frequency and high-frequency current components are minimized by the optimal phase shift of modulation and carrier signals. Benchmark studies of multidrive systems with 2 to 20 drives reveal that the t… Show more
