Abstract

The Adjustable Speed Drives (ADS) are generally used in industry. In most drives AC motors are applied. The standard drives used are Induction Motors (IM) and recently Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) are also used. Developments in power electronics and semiconductor technology have lead to improvements in power electronic systems. Different circuit configurations namely multilevel inverters have become popular and considerable research interest is generated in them. Variable voltage and frequency supply to AC 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 SVPWM because of their easier digital realization and better DC bus utilization. This paper proposes SVPWM implementation of an Induction motor. The model of a three-phase voltage source inverter is discussed based on space vector theory. Simulation results are obtained using MATLAB/Simulink environment.
