SPEED CONTROL OF INDUCTION MOTOR USING VSI BASED ON PWM/ SVPWM TECHNIQUES

POWER ELECTRONICS

Pulse Width Modulation variable speed drives are increasingly applied in many new industrial applications that require superior performance. Recently, developments in power electronics and semiconductor technology have lead improvements in power electronic systems. Hence, different circuit configurations namely multilevel inverters have become popular and considerable interest by researcher are given on them. Variable voltage and frequency supply to a.c drives is invariably obtained from a three-phase voltage source inverter. A number of Pulse width modulation (PWM) schemes are used to obtain variable voltage and frequency supply. The most widely used PWM schemes for three-phase voltage source inverters are carrier-based sinusoidal PWM and space vector PWM (SVPWM). There is an increasing trend of using space vector PWM (SVPWM) because of their easier digital realization and better dc bus utilization. This project focuses on step by step development SVPWM implemented on an Induction motor. The model of a three-phase a voltage source inverter is discussed based on space vector theory. Simulation results are obtained using MATLAB/Simu link environment for effectiveness of the study.
