Beat phenomenon is an important concern in the reduced dc-link capacitance motor drive system. In previous research works, the topic is mainly concentrated on the beat phenomenon caused by the interaction of the fluctuated dc-link voltage and the motor phase voltage. In this paper, another form of the beat phenomenon generated by the fluctuated dc-link voltage and the severely fluctuated load torque is investigated. The effect of the beat phenomenon on the grid current and the motor speed is analyzed, which fluctuate with the low-frequency oscillation. In order to improve the drive system performance, a power balancing controller is proposed to suppress the grid current fluctuation, and a resonant controller is utilized to regulate the periodic power signals. Meanwhile, the applied fluctuated torque suppression method could improve the performance of the motor speed, which is only sensitive to the frequency of the fluctuated load torque. Experimental results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
