Abstract
The DC bus capacitor is one of the major power-density and reliability hurdles of electric drive systems. It is hard to shrink because it is constrained by the DC bus RMS ripple current, which is only load dependent. A dual-inverter based segmented drive can reduce the ripple current by ~50% compared to a non-segmented case. This paper analyzes the origin of this ripple current and points out the path for minimization. An optimal DC-ripple-energy adaptive-minimization (DREAM) modulation method is proposed to further reduce the ripple current. It is observed in experimental results that the proposed method can achieve additional 38% reduction over the traditional segmented drive system.
