Abstract
- The multilevel topology with dual inverters feeding both ends of an open-end stator winding of an induction motor has been introduced around two decades ago. A common-mode inductor is usually required in series with motor windings to suppress zero-sequence or common-mode currents. In case of medium voltage high-power drives, low device switching frequency operation is preferred to improve the overall system efficiency. However, it increases the harmonic distortion of machine stator currents. Therefore, the goal of our study is to propose new optimal pulse width modulation to achieve: low device switching frequency, minimal harmonic distortion of machine stator currents, and elimination of zero-sequence currents. The main idea is to select the switching angles of two inverters such that zero-sequence components are eliminated and, then, perform optimization to determine switching angles thatminimize the harmonic distortion of machine stator currents. The experimental results obtained from dual two-level and dual three-level inverter fed 1.5-kW open-end stator winding IM drive demonstrated the effectiveness of a proposed modulation technique.
