[Objective] Since the introduction of the dual carbon goals
the rapid development of renewable energy has led to an increasing application of inverters in power systems. Hysteresis current control offers advantages such as fast response and simple control
and it has been widely used in inverter control. However
traditional hysteresis current control requires high accuracy of the reference voltage vector sector
and sector switching can easily lead to uncontrollable error currents due to sector misjudgment. To address this
a hysteresis current control strategy based on fixed switch state switching is proposed. [Methods] In the three-level hysteresis current control method
there are various ways to divide the sectors. By combining different sector division methods in the hysteresis control of three-level inverters
the disadvantage of traditional hysteresis control
where both the sector and the control strategy should be updated at sector boundaries
was effectively avoided. This method allowed for errors in sector judgement of the reference voltage vector while ensuring the error current was controlled throughout the entire cycle. With a fixed loop width
the switching frequency was variable
leading to increased switching losses. Therefore
a frequency-fixed control strategy was studied under this approach. By obtaining the error current data from the previous cycle
the hysteresis width for the current cycle was updated to achieve fixed frequency control
and the calculation formula for the next cycle’s hysteresis width was provided. [Results] The method was validated through Matlab/Simulink simulations. The simulation results showed that the proposed method ensured the error current was controlled throughout the entire cycle
even when the reference voltage vector was at the boundaries of sector switching
and the switching frequency remained around 20 kHz. [Conclusion] The proposed frequency-fixed hysteresis current control strategy based on fixed switch state switching aligns well with the theoretical results and demonstrats accuracy.
