Main Work
With the development of permanent magnet motor drive control technology, system reliability, lifespan, and power density have gradually become the focus of this field. The three-phase power supply AC motor electrolytic capacitorless drive system has advantages such as small size, long lifespan, and high reliability, making it one of the important directions for the development of high-quality motor drive systems. Currently, the electrolytic capacitorless AC motor drive system has been applied in the industrial field. This article summarizes and concludes the development status of the electrolytic capacitorless AC motor drive system in terms of stable operation of the drive system and machine-side performance control technology, pointing out the advantages and disadvantages of existing solutions. Finally, it summarizes and looks forward to the difficult problems that need to be solved and the future development trends of the electrolytic capacitorless AC motor drive system.
