Abstract

The invention provides a PWM strategy for reduction of inverter hotspot temperature and overall losses. The PWM strategy can be implemented to reduce device power losses and hotspot temperature in an inverter circuit that drives a synchronous motor. A method includes migrating a phase current from a power device with higher losses to a power device with lower losses. A PWM modulation signal can be modified to alter the inverter duty cycle and migrate phase current in the direction of lower losses. As an example, a PWM reference signal can be shifted to a lower value. A PWM loss reduction strategy can be performed while a motor is in a rotor-lock state to reduce device hotspot temperature. The PWM loss reduction strategy can also be performed when a motor is operating in a normal state, pushing PWM to DPWM, reducing switching and overall losses. The strategy can be practiced while a PMSM is operating as a motor, and can also be practiced during regenerative braking.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to electronic inverters, and more particularly to a method and apparatus for reducing hotspot temperature and power loss of power devices in electronic inverters for permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM). Background technique [0002] Electric machines, such as electric vehicles or hybrid vehicles, can be propelled using electrical energy through an electric drive system, which can include a power circuit, such as an electronic inverter, connected to an electric motor. In this configuration, the power supply circuit controllably transfers power from the power supply to the electric motor to drive a load, such as a vehicle transaxle. For a three-phase synchronous motor, the power circuit may include an inverter with three phase legs, each leg including a switch that can be individually controlled to provide the desired inverter output. For example, a drive signal as a function of the torque demand of the electric moto...
