Linear motor can realize direct linear transmission, there is no intermediate conversion transmission device with high conversion efficiency. Compared with traditional rotary motor, there is no centrifugal force constraint in linear motor, which is widely used in industry. In order to further improve the thrust density of the system, the five-phase linear motor was taken as the research object.The discrete domain decoupling control mathematical model of the five-phase linear motor was established. And in view of the problems of traditional five-phase linear motor that the performance is poor and the system harmonic content is high with single space vector pulse width modulation (PWM) control strategy, a double hybrid space vector PWM control strategy for five-phase linear motor was proposed.By introducing extra voltage vector and reasonably allocating the voltage vector action time, the harmonic wave can be effectively suppressed and the motor performance can be improved. Both simulation and experiment fully verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed dual-hybrid space vector PWM control strategy for five-phase linear motor.
