In this paper, a new semiconductor chip area-based approach is proposed to compare and assess different motor drive converter topologies, based on the drive's operating point and the optimal partitioning of the transistor and diode chip areas.Abstract:
In order to find the optimal converter topology for a given ac motor drive, as defined by its mission profile, suitable assessment criteria have to be applied. A new semiconductor chip area based approach is proposed to compare and assess different motor drive converter topologies. It determines the total semi-conductor chip area based on the drive's operating point and the optimal partitioning of the transistor and diode chip areas. This approach not only provides a distinct figure-of-merit for comparison but also enables the semiconductor costs of different converter topologies to be determined. The chip area based comparison has been successfully used to assess three 3-phase ac-dc-ac converter topologies for a 15 kW (20 HP) motor drive. It is shown that the Voltage DC-Link Back-to-Back Converter based drive provides the best overall performance in terms of chip area, cost, efficiency, and available nominal torque.read more
