This can result in premature failure of the motor bearings and stator winding insulation to ground. The DC bus to ground voltage may also be elevated to very high levels, resulting in failure of various components within the drive. Popular methods to mitigate these issues include synchronization of the carrier wave between the rectifier and inverter and filters at the output of the drive. While synchronization cannot be achieved in all applications and presents significant design trade-offs, filters are bulky, expensive and may not address all issues. In this paper, common-mode voltage (CMV) and commonmode current (CMC) reduction PWM schemes are investigated for their application to regenerative AC drives. It is shown that the CMV can be significantly reduced without PWM carrier synchronization, and without affecting the performance of the drive. the DC bus to ground voltages may be very high and can cause insulation failure of various components within the drive, such as insulation of transformers in switched-mode power supplies and printed circuit boards. A common solution to mitigate common-mode, reflected wave and associated issues is to add filters at the output of the drive. There are several types of filters used – L-R filters, sinewave filters, and common-mode filters with output neutral connected to the mid-point of the DC link [2-5]. Snubbers may be added to reduce the peak DC bus to ground voltage. Filters are bulky, large in size and generally not used unless the motor cables are very long. In this paper, CMV and CMC reduction PWM schemes [610] are investigated for their application to fully regenerative AC drives. It is shown that the CMV can be significantly reduced without affecting the performance of the drive, and without the need for PWM synchronization. These results are demonstrated with experimental tests. Keywords— PWM, regenerative AC drives, common-mode voltage, common-mode current, carrier synchronization I. INTRODUCTION The schematic of a fully regenerative PWM AC drive is shown in Fig. 1. Both rectifier and inverter devices are switched using conventional SVPWM methods. The CMV generated by various combinations of rectifier and inverter switching states is shown in Table I. The peak CMV at the motor terminals equals the DC bus voltage and occurs when the rectifier and inverter are in complimentary zero states. This is twice the CMV generated by a non-regenerative drive and causes significant stress on the stator winding insulation to ground and the motor bearings. With PWM synchronization between the rectifier and inverter [1], the peak CMV drops to 67% of the DC bus voltage. To reduce the size of the AC line filter, the rectifier must be switched at high PWM frequency. It is preferred to switch the inverter at low PWM frequency to avoid de-rating at low modulation index. Hence, the need for synchronization presents a design trade-off between size and drive rating. In applications where several inverters are fed from a common DC bus, synchronization of PWM may not be possible to implement. In a non-regenerative AC drive, capacitors are added from DC bus to ground for compliance to electro-magnetic compatibility (EMC) standards, which also help to prevent oscillations in the DC bus to ground voltage. On regenerative drives, these capacitors cannot be installed as it causes a large ground current on an AC feed with grounded neutral. Hence, 978-1-4673-0803-8/12/$31.00 ©2012 IEEE Fig. 1.

COMMON-MODE VOLTAGE AND COMMON-MODE CURRENT REDUCTION PWM SCHEMES Of the eight switching states of a two-level converter shown in Fig. 2, the six active states generate CMV equal to 16% of the DC bus voltage, while the zero states generate CMV equal to 50% of the DC bus voltage. In conventional SVPWM, the commanded voltage vector is synthesized using two active vectors and the zero vectors. In CMV reduction PWM schemes [6-8], the zero vectors are not used. Thus, the peak CMV is limited to 16% of the DC bus voltage. In the CMV reduction continuous PWM scheme (CMVR CPWM) [6, 8], two oppositely directed active vectors are used to generate the zero vector. At low modulation index, 3301 Authorized licensed use limited to: University of Science & Technology of China. Downloaded on May 08,2023 at 15:13:10 UTC from IEEE Xplore. Restrictions apply. this scheme results in increased high frequency ripple in the motor currents and the DC link capacitor current. Moreover, to prevent the double pulsing phenomenon that would result in high peak transient overvoltage at the motor terminals, the pulse pattern must be compensated, particularly at low modulation index, which further increases the line-line voltage distortion at sub-harmonics of the carrier frequency [8]. The logic to generate the switching signals for one implementation of the method, which uses a single carrier wave, is shown in Fig. 3 [8]. Here, active high (AH) refers to the switching logic in which the upper switch in a phase leg is turned on when the modulating wave is greater in amplitude than the carrier wave. 3 010 2 110 7 111 4 011 1 100 000 8 001 5 A. Implementation of CMVR DPWM The implementation of CMVR DPWM reported by Un [7] used two triangular carrier waves to generate the switching signals. By using the AH and AL switching logic, CMVR DPWM can be implemented using a single carrier wave. The switching logic is shown in Fig. 4 for one arbitrary sector in which the duty cycle of phase u is clamped to 1. In every sector, one of the phase duty cycles is clamped alternately to the maximum value of 1 or the minimum value of 0, similar to conventional DPWM. The switching signals for the phases with the two highest duty cycles are not modified from conventional DPWM. The modulating wave with minimum duty cycle is modified (w in Fig. 4 is modified to create 1-w) and AL switching logic is applied to that phase. 101 6 Fig. 2. Switching states of a 2-level converter. In the CMV reduction discontinuous PWM scheme (CMVR DPWM) [7], three adjacent active vectors are used to synthesize the commanded voltage vector. The minimum modulation index for this method is 0.61 (modulation index of 1 corresponds to square wave mode). When applied to inverters, this scheme is suitable for operation at high modulation index, where the traditional DPWM schemes [11] that use the zero vectors would otherwise be used. Fig. 4. Generation of switching signals for CMVR DPWM scheme using a single triangular carrier wave. When the modulation index is below 0.61, the switching signals become identical to conventional DPWM. It is also important to note that the use of AL switching logic requires a modification to the dead time compensation scheme. Typically dead time compensation is implemented on a pulse by pulse basis; based on AL or AH switching logic, the polarity of the compensating term must be adjusted as follows, where Td is the dead time, TPWM is the PWM carrier period, and x = u, v or w represents the modulating wave. x ' = x − sgn(ix ) Td TPWM T x = x + sgn(ix ) d TPWM ' Fig. 3.

The adjustment for volt-second error due to the dead time effect is shown in Fig. 5. Fig. 5. Single-edge dead-time compensation with active low (AL) switching logic. B. Common-mode current reduction PWM scheme The CMC reduction PWM scheme (CMCR CPWM) [9] is a modification to the conventional SVPWM scheme at low modulation index to prevent near simultaneous switching on all three phases, as shown in Fig. 6. This is achieved by enforcing a certain minimum dwell time on the active states in each PWM period, and the resulting duty cycle error is compensated in subsequent PWM periods. With the switching instants spaced out, the CMC pulses are not reinforced, thus reducing the peak CMC and associated issues, such as peak DC link to ground voltage and pump-up of DC bus voltage at very low modulation index [9]. However, the peak CMV is the same as conventional SVPWM and equal to 50% of the DC bus voltage. Carrier max mid min Modulating Signals VCM_Inv CM dwell time Fig. 6. CMCR PWM scheme with minimum dwell time enforced [9]. C. PWM schemes for regenerative AC drives In a regenerative AC drive, both the rectifier and inverter are typically switched using conventional SVPWM. As shown in Table I, this can generate CMV equal to twice the value of a non-regenerative drive, which can cause premature failure of motor bearings and stator insulation to ground. A commonly used technique to lower CMV is to synchronize the rectifier and inverter PWM. This prevents the switching of opposite zero vectors in the rectifier and inverter, thus reducing the peak CMV to 67% of DC bus voltage. In a modified method presented by Lee [14], certain switching instants in the rectifier and inverter are also aligned to further reduce CMV and the number of switching transitions; however, spikes in the CMV will occur at switching transitions considering dead time effects. It is beneficial to switch the rectifier at high PWM carrier frequency, to reduce the size of the AC line filter. The line filters are required for the AC drive to be in compliance with harmonics standards such as IEEE 519-1992 [12]. DPWM is recommended to reduce the switching power losses of the rectifier. Typically, the rectifier operates from a fixed voltage source; hence, the modulation index is high and nearly constant. Therefore, the CMVR DPWM scheme can be used for the rectifier. On the other hand, it is desirable to run the inverter at low PWM carrier frequency, particularly at low modulation index [13]. This helps to reduce the peak inverter power device temperature. Operation at high PWM carrier frequency and low modulation index not only requires a reduction in the rating of the drive but also reduces the life time of the power modules due to significant power cycling. Hence, if the PWM carrier waves of the rectifier and inverter are synchronized, it presents a design trade-off between rating and size of the AC drive. If the rectifier is switched using CMVR DPWM and the inverter is switched using conventional SVPWM, the total CMV is reduced to 67% of the DC bus voltage, even without PWM synchronization. If CMVR PWM is applied to the inverter as well, then the total CMV can be reduced to 33% of DC bus voltage, which is even lower than the CMV of a nonregenerative drive. At very low modulation index, the CMVR CPWM scheme cannot be applied to the inverter due to the distortion created in the line-line voltages and line currents. However, the CMCR PWM scheme can be used to reduce peak CMC in this region. At higher modulation index (less than 0.61), CMVR CPWM scheme can be applied, and then, for modulation index exceeding 0.61, the CMVR DPWM scheme can be applied. This would be the recommended PWM scheme for the regenerative AC drive to optimize drive cost, size and performance. A summary of the CMV generated by the combination of the various PWM schemes, and their advantages and limitations is provided in Table II below. In the following sections, simulation and experimental results are presented to demonstrate the advantages of CMV reduction methods for regenerative AC drives, while also showing that there is no deterioration in drive performance. 3303 Authorized licensed use limited to: University of Science & Technology of China.

A typical LCL type line filter was used in the simulations. Both waveforms have nearly identical harmonic content and THD. 200 100 Line current (A) A simulation model of a 480V, 100 hp regenerative AC drive was constructed to demonstrate the CMV reduction PWM schemes. Models for the different PWM schemes were developed and include reflected wave compensation, deadtime compensation and duty cycle error compensation for the CMV reduction methods. A high-frequency motor model was developed from the measured DM and CM impedance of a 460V, 100hp motor [15]. A transmission line model was used for the cable (1AWG, 200 feet, shielded cable). The rectifier and inverter PWM carrier frequencies were set to 4kHz and 2kHz respectively. The following combinations of PWM schemes were simulated – (a) SVPWM without synchronization for both rectifier and inverter, (b) CMVR DPWM for rectifier and CMCR CPWM for inverter, and (c) CMVR DPWM for rectifier and CMVR CPWM for inverter. The CMV at the motor terminals is shown in Fig. 7 for the 3 combinations of PWM schemes. The reduction in CMV with the CMVR PWM schemes is evident. The CMC at the drive output is shown in Fig. 8 for very low inverter modulation index. Again, the reduction in peak CMC is obvious for the CMVR PWM schemes because of the inherent spacing between switching transitions, required to control transient motor overvoltage due to reflected waves [8], which prevents reinforcement of the CMC pulses. This is also the case for CMCR CPWM, where the switching transitions are spaced [9]. 60 0 -100 -200 0.2 0.205 0.21 0.215 0.22 0.205 0.21 0.215 0.22 0.225 0.23 0.235 0.24 0.245 0.25 0.225 0.23 0.235 0.24 0.245 0.25 200 Line current (A) 100 Motor CMV (V) 2000 1000 0 0 -100 -1000 -2000 0.1 0.105 0.11 0.115 0.12 0.125 0.13 0.135 0.14 0.145 -200 0.2 0.1 5 Time (s) Motor CMV (V) 2000 1000 Fig. 9.

EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS Experimental tests were conducted on a 480VAC, 5.5kW, 10A regenerative AC drive running a 5.5kW motor with 100 feet of 10AWG shielded cable. Only an inductor was used for the AC line filter. The DC bus voltage is regulated by the active rectifier to be 715VDC. The following combinations of PWM schemes were tested – (a) SVPWM without synchronization for both rectifier and inverter, (b) CMVR DPWM for rectifier and SVPWM for inverter, (c) CMVR DPWM for rectifier and CMCR CPWM for inverter, and (d) CMVR DPWM for rectifier and CMVR CPWM for inverter. In all instances, the rectifier and inverter PWM carrier frequencies were set to be 4kHz and 2kHz respectively. The total CMV generated by the AC drive was measured between two virtual neutral points – one at the output of the inverter bridge and the other at the input to the rectifier bridge – created using resistor networks. The waveforms for the CMV of the four different schemes above are shown in Fig. 11. Clearly, method (d) has 33% of the CMV of method (a), while method (b) has the same CMV as SVPWM with carrier synchronization. The PWM line-line voltage at the rectifier input terminals is shown in Fig. 12 for SVPWM and CMVR DPWM. The increased distortion in the line-line voltage is evident. However, the distortion is at high frequency and related to the PWM carrier frequency. It does not create low frequency distortion and does not affect the quality of the rectifier line currents or rectifier performance. Waveforms of CMC at the drive output with the different PWM schemes are shown in Fig. 13, for the inverter running at 0Hz. The peak and RMS values of CMC are listed in Table III. The reduction in CMC with the CMVR and CMCR PWM schemes is appreciable. For larger drive systems and cables Fig. 11.

However, there is a slight increase in line current distortion at PWM carrier frequency with CMVR PWM. For a typical regenerative drive, the high frequency components would be filtered by a LCL type filter and would not be observed on the AC line. The design of the line filter should take into account any increase in distortion at high frequency caused by the CMVR PWM scheme. Fig. 13.

These waveforms were obtained for 0Hz inverter output frequency, as this represents the worst case [9]. It can be seen that a very significant reduction is possible with the recommended PWM scheme i.e. CMVR DPWM for the rectifier and CMCR CPWM for the inverter. The rectifier line current waveforms for SVPWM and CMVR DPWM schemes are shown in Fig. 15. Their frequency spectra are shown in Fig. 16. The inverter PWM scheme has negligible influence on the line current waveform. It can be observed that the CMVR PWM scheme does not cause any low frequency distortion that would affect the performance of the regenerative AC drive. It must be noted that the distortion seen in the line current waveform of Fig. 15 with CMVR PWM is due only to the limitations in the implementation of AH and AL switching logic, in the PWM waveform generation hardware used for the Fig. 14. Experimental Results: DC bus to ground voltage at 0Hz inverter output frequency (500V/div, 10ms/div).

At very low modulation index, CMCR CPWM [9] can be applied, with very little distortion in the output line-line voltages and line currents. In the simulation and experimental results presented here, it has been shown that the CMVR DPWM scheme can be 3306 Authorized licensed use limited to: University of Science & Technology of China.

Thus, the CMVR and CMCR PWM schemes can be applied to a regenerative AC drive, without the need for PWM synchronization, and with significant reduction of total CMV, drive output CMC and DC bus to ground voltage. 15 10 5 0 -5 -10 -15 0 0.005 0.01 0.015 0.02 0.025 0.03 0.035 0.04 0.045 0.05 0 0.005 0.01 0.015 0.02 0.025 Ti ( ) 0.03 0.035 0.04 0.045 0.05 15 10 5 0 -5 -10 -15 Fig. 15. Experimental Results: Drive input line current at rated output power (5A/div, 5ms/div). (Top: SVPWM for rectifier and inverter, Bottom: CMVR DPWM for rectifier and CMVR CPWM for inverter) A commonly used method to reduce CMV is synchronization of the carrier frequencies between the rectifier and inverter; however, this presents design trade-offs between drive size, cost and rating. Moreover, when several drives are fed from a common DC bus supply created by a regenerative rectifier, synchronization may not be possible. Drive output filters to mitigate these issues are generally bulky, expensive and may not adequately mitigate all issues. In this paper, the applicability of CMVR and CMCR PWM schemes to regenerative AC drives has been investigated. It has been shown through simulation analysis and experimental testing that the CMV of regenerative AC drives can be reduced without PWM synchronization. In addition, peak CMC and DC bus to ground voltage can be significantly reduced as well. Furthermore, there is negligible impact on the quality of motor control and on the AC line current waveforms. The recommended PWM scheme for the rectifier is CMVR DPWM, so that a high carrier frequency can be used to reduce the size of the line filter while also minimizing switching losses. For the inverter, the CMCR CPWM scheme is preferred at very low modulation index to minimize output voltage and current distortion. At mid-to-high modulation index, CMVR CPWM scheme should be used, while the CMVR DPWM scheme may be used at high modulation index to lower switching losses. REFERENCES Fig. 16.

CONCLUSIONS With conventional SVPWM schemes, regenerative AC drives can generate very high CMV and line-ground voltage at the motor terminals, which can result in premature failure of winding insulation and bearings. Besides, high DC bus voltages to ground are generated within the drive, which can cause failure of several components. [1] A.M. De Broe, A.L. Julian and T.A.
