Dual Control of Asynchronous Motor for EV Fed by 5-level Diode Clamped Multilevel Inverter using SPWM Technique

Abstract

This paper presents the discussion about the working principle and simulation of three phases Induction Motor (IM) for electric vehicle fed by five level diode clamped multilevel inverter. Multilevel inverter technology has emerged recently as a very important alternative in the area of EV system. The main objective of this paper is to control the speed of an IM by using 5-level diode clamped multilevel inverter. To obtain high quality sinusoidal output voltage with reduced harmonics, multicarrier PWM control scheme is proposed for diode clamped multilevel inverter. A speed control and torque control can be achieved by using sinusoidal output voltage which has high quality by multicarrier Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) technique. The planned system is best progress in production of towering switching losses results compared with other conventional method. The proposed system is an effective replacement for the conventional method which produces high switching losses and results in poor drive performance. The simulation results reveal that the proposed circuit effectively controls the motor speed and enhances the drive performance through reduction in total harmonic distortion. Also this shows that the planned method controls the speed and torque of motor in efficient manner. Hence, the system usefulness is established through simulation.
