Abstract

The dynamic performance of vector controlled induction motor drive is poor and peak motor torque decreases under low speed operation. This reduction in torque is due to the non-linearity of voltage to frequency (Hz) during low frequency operation. The non-linearity is caused by stator voltage drop which in turn requires a larger percentage of overall terminal voltage. To overcome these problems multilevel inverter fed induction motor drive is presented in this paper. For two-level and five-level inverter control SVM method is employed. A simplified space vector modulation technique is implemented for five-level inverter in order to reduce the computational difficulties. In this, the space vector diagram of the multilevel inverter is decomposed into six space vector diagrams of two-level inverters. The torque ripple and dynamic performance of induction motor drive are compared under different operating conditions with low speed operation.
